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.

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!

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 !!

The battery worked well when i first got it but after a year it was pooped out and would not take much of a charge. This was my second replacement so i got a Bosch to replace the dewalt. Dewalt had two batteries that came with it one of them was no good.

There are two DeWalt replacement battery pack types that I know of. The one that has the XR behind the voltage is a hotter battery than the standard battery. The XR battery is about 1/2 inch longer and may weigh a tiny bit more but its worth it.

I plan on buying a second XR battery. I have purchased two standard sets and they last about a year with me. Sometimes I use them a lot and sometimes they sit for a while betwen use. So far this battery is a gem.

Got the Battery on time, packed well. Charged it right away,put it on my Sander and it work's great. I now know just where to buy them when needed. The price was very reasonable. Thank you.

This replacement battery has brought my Dewalt drill back to life! The old batteries were losing power after ten minutes use. This new battery is delivering power for much longer than the originals, even when they were new. Charges fast on the old charger as well.

Everything seems to be A+. Battery works just find after I charged it. I don"t have any trouble ordering at Amazon.

I ordered two 2 batteries over the internet late in the evening, June 30 and I was expecting to receive the shipment late next week because of the pending July 4 holiday. I was surprised that I received them on July 4! Excellent service and the batteries came in their original plastic cases. The box that the batteries came in was well packaged and cushioned. Thank you for the excellent service.

this battery pack was hard to find at stores. With this new one, I now have two battery packs as I do stuff around the house. It is very handy to use one while the other charges. It holds a charge for a good while.
