Battery Performance

Pros:

  • "These batteries were a present for an employee who uses Dewalt tools on my jobs every day... We used them today with no problems."
  • "Needed up grade my 2017 Dewalt batteries... Oh man it's amazing having new and much longer power for my tool setup."
  • "My originals still work after 6 years and 5 remodels......still going strong."
  • "Wow. These batteries are the real deal. I used one of these 5Ah on a Dewalt reciprocating saw and I was able to chop down 5 trees with it before needing a charge."
  • "These 5Ah batteries are working as expected... I can usually go for several days without the need for recharging with these 5Ah batteries."
  • "I have several DeWalt power tools that take this battery... I have all different sizes for different tools and applications."
  • "I purchased these batteries 2 years ago and they still hold the charge like when they were new."
  • "They arrived on time and well packaged... I had no problems getting them to charge fully."

Cons:

  • "One of the 2 in the pack I bought was unable to take a charge... It did take a couple of weeks to get it (replacement) but came as promised!"
  • "bought these batteries from amazon. first one of the batteries lasted about a month.then the 2nd battery lasted about 3 months."
  • "I have only used them a few times and within a week they both stopped taking a charge."
  • "These are impossible to beat for the time they will run dewalt tools."
  • "I use this battery on my string trimmer. It over heats quickly and stops delivering power to the trimmer in less than 10 minutes of use."
  • "One battery of two works normal- the other won't charge after one or two uses."
  • "I have an electric lawn mower and wanted two sets to swap while charging... the set that came with the mower, i get 2 lawn cuts, these i get one... Last half as long."
  • "Bought this model battery (DCB205-2) Would not charge to full.. Cool warm light would come on. None of my other batteries do that."

Customer Service Experience

Pros:

  • "After I sent the info, Dewalt immediately responded w/ apology and indicated they would process for a replacement- no additional hoops to jump through."
  • "I didn't get amazon contacted until after their return period which was my fault. So I contacted dewalt and after sending all the info they requested they sent me 2 brand new batteries under warranty and all is good."
  • "Maybe its time to switch to Milwaukee or just a bad batch? Hopefully i can get an exchange. nothing yet from seller.Update Dewalt is sending new ones!"
  • "I purchased a pack of two , and didn’t use them for a month or so . The time too replace them had came and went before I’d even opened the package... I contacted company and they immediately sent me a new one."

Cons:

  • "I have most of the Dewalt 20v tool lineup... Out of the box, they couldn't hold a charge as well as a 2ah battery. Just junk that this seller is pedaling."
  • "I see other reviews and must say that other purchasers have had some real luck. I too work in construction. I have 2-6ah batteries. The batteries purchased here lasted less than one month."
  • "Bought this model battery (DCB205-2) Would not charge to full.. Cool warm light would come on. None of my other batteries do that. They also weigh less, These are 5 AH batteries how ever, My 3 AH & 4 AH Dewalt batteries weigh more than these 5 AH do."
  • "I have just tried to use one of the batteries for the Dewalt blower. It is completely dead after having on the charger. When I put it on to charge there is no light on the charger. It is defective. What do I do? One of the batteries that were replaced is also bad. I am very disappointed with this purchase and would like to be made whole."
