Questions & Answers

In order to obtain a real Ah rating and/or Wh rating, what are the REAL figures? The battery is printed with the following information This battery has a capacity of 20 volts 5 amps 100 watts. If it runs at 18V, it can be either 5Ah or 100Wh, but ?

Even though this isn't an answer, I'd like to add my comment since I just encountered it today, so maybe it can help others decide which Dewalt line to opt for. In every other region of the world, Dewalt 20V max tools are sold as 18V max tools. In reality, the 20V XR tools from Dewalt are the real thing. Battery maxes out at 20V in its initial state, but is nominally 18V.

What is the full-gauged lights system like on these?

The answer is yes. The battery is heaver than the smaller one. It's great if you have high draw tools, but even if you do, you'll burn them out after 20 minutes with a sawzall.

How well do these work with DeWalt My jacket is no longer available, however, do they make a similar one now?

The DEWALT heated jackets can be used with any of the DEWALT 20V batteries

Liquid frozen from the freezer is safe to consume What is the best way to charge an ion battery? There is a possibility that a connection can be made When recharging a lithium-ion battery, does it matter whether it is hot or cold?

During 25 years of cold weather charging, I haven't had a problem As well as today when it was 105 degrees, it was 32 degrees yesterday. While the batteries are charging in summer, make sure to keep them out of the sun to avoid getting too hot and failing to charge.

Selected User Reviews For DEWALT 20V Max XR 20V Battery, 5.0-Ah, 2-Pack (DCB205-2)

It is getting harder and harder to provide good customer service
3/5

There are 38 batteries we have from DeWalt, 20v/60v, but we have a problem with 5 of them not It is never a good idea to leave them in a freezing environment or to leave them on charge overnight. The food is always well kept and we are never able to figure out why the prices have gone down. Although Dewalt's warranty for these batteries is excellent, I was just told I need to send a 3ah battery to Salt Lake City for repairs. It costs nearly as much as a new 3Ah when you add the hazards fee and shipping charges. On top of that, the unit was a $1000 laser level purchased just over a year ago on Amazon, but because the battery was stamped with a date from 2017, they refused to warranty it. The battery appears to be brand new, because it has always been Their new batteries are very disappointing and their customer service is terrible. There were a couple of times my 6ah and 9ah batteries stopped working, but thankfully, they were covered by warranty. It is now time to buy Milwaukee again since we have a reseller in the area who backs their products if they are defective. Dewalt quality control better get their act together, I have spent thousands in their newest products but I am no longer willing to spend so much on their products.

THERE IS A RISK IT IS A I can tell you this didn't last! Brand new DEWALT batteries are supposed to be used for these tools
3/5

My wireless chargers worked well for a year, and I use them once a week or every weekend to make sure they are always It's just 18 months later, and either one or both of these devices Because those batteries are charging fine when I use my three year old ones, I'm convinced that they are fake knock offs. Now that they are useless and in need of repair, one start is in order. Even though I take good care of my tools, these batteries still appear to be brand new, and these batteries should be perfect, but they aren't.

It was a very disappointing experience for me
3/5

For a short period of time, I used one battery. There was a lot of disappointment on my part. I used one battery for a short period and it died. I put the other one on charge in the meantime. After switching them out, the one that was supposed to be charged broke. Even the one that initially worked wouldn't charge. A few of them have been examined and were found to be of no use. It was too late to return them at that point. This is a total waste of money for a Dewald, I would have thought it would be like that for an inexpensive.

THE DEWALT batteries of old are NOT suitable for this task
3/5

The product is fake or not genuine. During the last few decades, I have been using DeWalt battery tools in my business and I own dozens of tools and In all cases, the plants have always withstood at least a year or more before even the slightest decline, after which they have also continued to produce well for at least another year. In the last year or so, I've purchased two double packs from Amazon, one late last year and the other not that long In just one week, both the batteries from the second order went bad. One battery from the first order stopped charging after 3 months, and one battery from the second order stopped charging after 2 months. A final problem is that one of the four batteries has become extremely touchy when it comes to I have only one charger that will charge it (all chargers appear to be DeWalt brand and are less than two years old). *BRIEF NOTE When new batteries are purchased for the business, they are logged in with purchase dates and purchase codes to detect where they came from and when they were purchased. It is absolutely the ones purchased from Amazon at this time that failed. All the batteries I've purchased with new tools before or since these two purchases have not had these problems leading me to believe either that these batteries came from a defective lot, they are "seconds", or they are outright fraud.

Do some of them seem to be fake? DeWalt batteries are something I have a lot of, like most buyers of these
3/5

Any problems I have had with them have never been my fault. products just didn't work for me - neither they took a charge from any of my chargers, nor did they It's funny, right? I send them back and Amazon sends me a new set, which is also defective. Well, I'm going to switch to a different SKU and see if it works. It's hard to tell if the items they sold were fake, or if I just happened to be very unlucky, but my experience with this listing was very poor.

There are two good reasons to buy them
5/5

You will be able to extend the life of every tool you own from Dewalt. They will also allow you to buy a 'just the tool' option when purchasing DeWalt tools. Your life will be so much easier if you do that. Dewalt is the obvious choice, so you're in the clear. Do not go heavier than you have to You'll have too much weight on your tools if you use them. The impact protectors are a nice bonus because they let you work longer with all of your tools without adding so much weight that your arms will tire Take the batteries that come with the tools, the smaller ones, and keep them until they die. You should then keep these monsters in a la mode until the smaller ones are fully charged. Once you've switched out, return to the beginning. It doesn't matter what tools you use. The accessories can be used with all 20v Dewalt tools, and no matter how long you work with them, they will deliver full power until the smaller, lighter ones have been In addition, two professionals can keep the lights on with two of the smaller batteries and these two big ones. With these bad boys, the job site will run without a hitch The experience was well.

Battery life is excellent
5/5

One charge light is not an indication of a full charge. It was the same problem I saw with a number of other people when they received the batteries. There is only one bar of charge on the charger no matter how long it stays plugged in. It's super easy to There is a problem with the charger interpreting the voltage as charged, and shows it as such. Here is what needs to be fixed In order to make it continue charging, remove the battery and replace it in the charger until the red charge light starts blinking again. If the red charge light stays solid, but the battery indicator appears to have partial charge, then the battery indicator is correct. There may be a couple of times when you have to do this before it starts to blink and charge. Afterwards, you will be able to use the batteries since they have been fully charged. The batteries were great and when fully charged they will last you a long time. When charging, you can tell that it's charging by the warmth of the battery. Once all three green LEDs on the battery indicator are illuminated, the battery has been fully charged. This week's update Those batteries are still firing on all cylinders as of 07/18!.
