Loved it and would definatly buy again! - Review written on October 15, 2008
Rating: 5 out of 5
I purchased a two pack of Dewalt battery pack. It is great. I found the best buy here at amazon. I am very pleased with my purchase, and would purchase again. It was shipped in a very timely manner. The only problem with the whole ordeal was a mess up through "my postoffice." The box was severly damaged, but with the carefull packaging, and care to the safety of the product through amazon, it was in perfect condition. Thanks again!

Great product- great service - Review written on October 10, 2008

I went to both Lowes and Home Depot looking for this product. Neither had it in stock and the single battery choice was always bundled with a charger- which I did not need.
I received the batteries much sooner than expected and have used them once and they performed better than the original batteries that came with my set.
Every purchase I make with Amazon makes me more impressed with their system.

I have many cordless tools. I find Makita batteries far better than Dewalt. The last Dewalt 18v, 2.4a battery I bought lasted 3 months. The remaining battery holds a good charge for a short time. When it dies, I'll through away the tool it came with and buy another Makita. Don't buy Dewalt batteries. They are almost as bad as Craftsman. Dewalt batteries get zero stars from me. I also have Dewalt corded tools. They all work fine.

DeWalt DC9096-2 18-Volt XRP 2.4 Amp Hour NiCad Pod Style Battery, 2 Pack
We really like these batteries, my husband uses these in our remodeling business and they are a great help. No long extension cords to contend with. They are great.
Top battery, good price for 2 - Review written on June 08, 2008

If you have DeWalt tools, this is the battery pack for you. Two 18V batteries will keep you going for quite a while. These came quickly & the price was right, so this 2-pack is highly recommended.
DeWalt Batteries the Best - Review written on June 07, 2008
Rating: 5 out of 5
Unlike almost every other manufacturers batteries, DeWalt 18 volt product lasts. I have three Craftsman tools - drill, light, and trim saw - that I no longer use as both batteries failed within a couple of years. I have some DeWalts that have lasted five years and are still trucking.
As expected - Review written on April 22, 2008

The batteries arrived from Amazon days before the estimated delivery date. I ordered the two-pack direct from Amazon (my preferred choice) and the batteries came in a plastic packaged two pack, not taken from another kit as others have expressed. They took a charge and have been working fine for over a week. I have never had a Dewalt battery fail out of the box and anticipate these will live up to their advertised life span.
Additionally, I read several reviews complaining about the price of the battery; agreed, I would love to get these batteries for the price of oh...say Ryobi batteries, but then I could only expect the performance of the tools they drive to be as good as the Ryobi. There is a reason Dewalt tools are tough and put out so much torque. It has a lot to do with the battery. More often than not, you get what you pay for.

I needed replacement batteries for my dewalt tools. I received two batteries for what I could buy them in the local retail store for one.
Not thrilled with this product - Review written on April 08, 2008
Rating: 2 out of 5
I don't know what it is with DeWalt but their batteries are very lackluster. I have a charger with tuneup mode and even so, come about a year later they don't hold a charge. I don't feel good about these things being so "disposable" so to speak so I changed cordless brands and ditched all my dewalt 18v cordless for mostly hitachi. Some things, after years of use I decided were just never going to be that great in a cordless version so I am back to using corded saws for many apps. This battery was very disappointing and for the cost of it, i couldn't in good conscience recommend this battery to anyone.

If you use your drill often, you have to replace the battery packs periodically. So far, these seem to be of the quality I would expect from DeWalt.

Poor service life - Review written on February 22, 2008
Rating: 1 out of 5
My experience with these 18 volt DeWalt 18 volt batteries has been poor to say the least.Spent close to $300.00 for the original drill and battery set and the original batteries stroked out in a very short period of time. just long enough for the battery warranty to have expired.The battery charger worked just fine and was not the fault of the charger. I have had a Skill battery power drill with the original batteries that lasted close to 6 years and cost a fraction of the Dewalt setup. The cost of replacement batteries is outrageous in my opinion. So here is the choice you get faced with either spend another $100 bucks on new batteries or chunk the drill and go to another brand.DeWalt is a big name brand but the quality of the product i bought was very poor.I am sure there are thousands of very satisfied customers out there at a heavy price tag but I am sure there are those of who feel they have gotten their shorts burned off.

Product is just what it claims to be. Good price, don't have to pay for a lot of extra packaging or thrown in items you don't need.

What can I say. I use my Dewalt tools everyday. I am still amazed by the power of these rechargeable battery-operated tools. The batteries last effectively between 1-3 years before I wear them out. I number and date the batteries and I rotate their usage to get the most out of them. They charge (after the first time) in a half hour. They are expensive but worth it.

The product arrived in excelant condition, in 1/2 the time advertised, and has worked well since I received it. I am considering the purchase of a similar pack for my Dewalt screw gun, and will start my search here.

These work well enough, for ten years ago they work fine, but technology has moved on and this branch of Black and Decker hasn't. They need to get with the plan and provide a more modern battery technology like other premium priced manufacturers.

The batteries work just fine, just old technology. Would be much better if they would sell a lithium battery, especially considering the $90 list price.

I cant believe how much better these are than the old ones. I charged both batteries a month ago when I got them, and I'm still on the first battery! I dont use them for work, but my drill see's use every day or two. The price for the 2 pak is great also. When I saw how much the batteries were in the store I was going to buy a whole new drill (although I love my old drill). After all, it wasnt too much more money. Then I found the 2 pak on Amazon and was shocked to see how low the price was. Now I get to keep my trusty DeWalt drill and it runs just like new.

Saved about 50% then if I bought them in the store. I also got their free shipping which ended up being delevired 4-5 days faster then I thought it would. No problems at all.

I can't add much to what others have said. No reason to review the drill motor here, this page is for replacement batteries. These batteries are original replacements from DeWalt. They shipped quickly, and went right to work with no problems.

I needed to replace the two original 18 volt batteries that came with my Dewalt 18 volt drill/driver as the batteries would no longer hold a charge. The DC9096 18 volt batteries look like the replacement but my drill was not listed as compatible with the DC9096, however, the probably was high they would be compatible so I ordered them. The new batteries work fine. Although they still represent the old battery technology. Neither Dewalt or Amazon offer a way to recycle/properly dispose of the old batteries.

Beware Tool King - DC9096-2 batteries not as described - Review written on May 23, 2007
Rating: 1 out of 5
2 customers found this review helpful, 3 did not.
Tool King orders for Dewalt's DC9096-2 18V batteries WILL NOT arrive as advertised on Amazon in original clam-shell package. Tool King claims these are bought in bulk from Dewalt, and if they were refurbished they would have an "R" stamped on the side or bottom - which they do not. Are they new or refurb? I have no idea. What I do know is that they are not the Dewalt DC9096-2 item as described, but rather two (2) loose DC9096 batteries. Buyer Beware.

what can I say it is a DeWalt battery, it just took 2 weeks to get much too long.
Definitely longer-lasting than the black-top batteries... - Review written on May 12, 2007

These batteries last a comfortable 40-50% longer than the original black-top batteries in my dad's 18-V drill/driver. He never used the tune-up button on the charger, though, so your improvement may be less, if you use it. He managed to extract about 10% more juice from his old battery for a month or two before it gave up the ghost, just by using the tune-up button.

If you expect to buy these new in the package, you will be disappointed. ToolKing offers cheap prices by reselling you returned merchandise (I suspect)from their retail stores. I received my batteries used, you can tell by the brass connection points being ruffed up, and not in their original packages. One of the batteries takes forever to charge and this may be why it was returned. I also ordered a charger (not in the orig Package) where they were nice enough to place a crappy ToolKing inventory sticker over the vent holes. You know, the kind that peels off flake by flake. They dont return emails or phone calls. I was ripped off, so beware!

These batteries have a very short life. I have several that have not lasted even one year. I don't even use them most weeks. They also are bad about going dead over night or in a couple of days when just sitting in their case.

Being the owner of multiple Dewalt 18 volt power tools, this was an exceptional value. Often replacing the battery in a cordless power tool is not justified when you can replace the complete tool for a few dollars more than buying a simple replacement battery. This made my choice of staying with the same brand same voltage a good choice.

Great Long Lasting Battery Pack - Review written on March 31, 2007

I bought this for use with the DeWalt drill and am very satisfied with the results. The XRP batteries last longer than the average batteries and this 2 pack is at a great price considering most stores sell just one battery for around $80.00.

Original, I believe identical, pack lasted about 4 years of light use (hobbyist) on my drill. A little costly, though.
