4.0 out of 5 stars Better than Original, November 26, 2005

Please note that this is the XR battery pack. Most 9.6 volt tools from DeWalt come with the standard battery pack. The XR pack features 25% more runtime. So if you're thinking about buying a new tool instead of replacement batteries, be aware of the difference in the batteries. By the way, higher voltage DeWalt replacement batteries are labeled XRP. These proide 40% more runtime than the standard batteries. Also note that the extended runtime batteries are slightly larger and heavier than the standard versions.

5.0 out of 5 stars There's nothing like the original, June 20, 2008

I have tried 2 after-market battery packs in an attempt to save a litte (these batteries are not cheap) and they just don't measure up to the original DeWalt version. This one fits right, unclips easily (I had to take a screwdriver to one of the clone versions to get it out of my drill) and lasts longer.

These days I can't find the 9.6v anywhere but online so you also have to factor in a little extra cost for shipping, but the non-OEM items just aren't the same. I buy DeWalt tools for a reason - I guess that reason extends to the batteries too!

5.0 out of 5 stars More Power, August 8, 2009

Set your drill on the #1 for torque,and set your mode to the highest setting before drill mode,now try and hold it to stop the drill, do the same with the standard battery, No DOUBT the XR is more powerful and the 9.6 DeWalt drill are almost indestructible, drop a Hitachi from a ladder and it breaks in half,drop the DeWalt and pick it up and continue working,why-because the DeWalt has a heavy metal frame under the plastic. These drill will bury a screw or bolt into wood and take a beating like no other, also if you plan to use battery tools have several back up batteries, and just rotate to charger and tool.I have many battery power tools and love them !!
