DeWalt DC9096 reviews
Didn't fit
A friend gave me an 18V DeWalt drill without batteries. I was under the false impression that my 9V DeWalt charger would be able to charge the 18V battery. I did not even have to open the package to see the new battery would not fit in my charger.

Good battery for 2-3 years
I have 6-7 18V Dewalt batteries, both XRP and the original black ones. They have worked great for awhile with light use, but consistently turn into paperweights around the 3 year mark even though I bring them in from the cold garage in the winter. This means a constant expense to keep your wireless tools running.

Great stuff
Being a non-pro, I used to get the Craftsman 18V tools, but the battery always died after a year or so. And they are expensive to replace. the tools lasted ok. but what use are they if the battery cant hold a charge? The Dewalts outperform in power and battery life. Even though I do small jobs now and then, I want stuff that lasts. These do the job.

Dewalt Battery
So far, this has been a great product. My boyfriend has a dewalt kit with multiple tools that all take this type of battery. At the time he only had one battery that was in working condition, so being the awesome girlfriend, I bought him a new one for valentines day! I have gotten two shelves out of the deal, so it has worked out great for me! Would highly reccomend!

It's a battery
Arrived in a timely manner. Threw it in the charger, plugged it in to my drill, it worked. Having only done that, there's really not much to be said.

DeWalt XRP 18-Vold NiCad Battery
This new battery does not hold a charge well. I charged it and left it in my drill for about six weeks and it lost its charge completely.

DeWalt battery
You can never have too many of these. This is a replacement for an older one that was not holding a charge well.

Best DeWalt Battery
DeWalt DC9096 XRP 18-Volt 2.4 Amp Hour NiCad Pod Style Battery Why buy a no hold the charge battery. This battery holds a better charge then my new Craftsman and let be a lesson. I have used my DeWalt Drill to put up a fence the Craftsman did about 1/4 of the job the DeWalt did the other 3/4s and still had power. It charges in a hour and your off again. Great battery and a great price. Thank you Amazon.

replacement batteries
Batteries seem to work fine. They are supposed to be better than the ones that come with the drill. You would think that DeWalt would include the better batteries with their tools.

DeWalt 18V tools are great
These batteries, and the tools they support are GREAT! My original batteries are now 12 years old, and going strong. I later bought these as spares to have on hand so that I'd never have to stop a job waiting to recharge a battery.
That said, however, I want to suggest that EVERYONE who uses these batteries [...] and read it carefully, as it dispels some popular misconceptions about the use of these batteries. The only one I ever ruined, I did so because I hadn't read this page, and thought it was better to totally discharge the batteries to eliminate "memory" effect. Wrong.

Love it, works great , lasts long
Its original equipment and has lots of power and lasts awhile.
I am a light user, not a construction worker.

DeWalt 18V Battery
When my battery for my DeWalt drill died I did a search for replacement. The pod that I purchased works great and will serve me a long time. Very satified with performance.

Battery 18volt Dewalt
Works well, wish they would have an indicator of charge on the battery its self.

Battery
DeWalt battery doesn't seem to be much different or longer lasting than less expensive portable tools provide and yet this battery is more expensive.
