The item works fine but arrived with $2.99 postage due even though I had supposedly prepaid the shipping charges.

Simple. $56 as opposed to $90 at Home Depot. Same DeWalt battery drop shipped to my door for $56. Works fine.

I have had my hammer drill for over 10 years and this is the second new battery I have ever had to buy. How many companies keep their products compatible to each other as their technologies evolve? I started with NON-XRP batteries, but when they came up with this greatly improved battery I did not have to go and buy a new drill to enjoy their breakthrough.

The service was very good and the product arrived in a very timely manner. I was disappointed that they were of the older series of batteries but they do the job.

Been looking for a good deal on 1 DeWalt 18V battery for my DeWalt tools and found this on with a good price. The delivery, price and performance was great!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

This battery was new, exactly what I needed, and at a price well-below the Lowe's and Home Depot prices. Delivery was faster than expected. I am very well-pleased with my purchase.

I never expected to get the DeWalt rechargable battery as fast as I did. It was a great surprise and the price was very good. This will make me want to get more items from Amazon.

great to have spares of these - Review written on March 28, 2007
* * * * *
Rating: 5 out of 5

As a contractor I own quite a few Dewalt cordless tools and having spare batteries is not a luxury. I have at least 3 or 4 batteries charging all day long. I bought 2 single batteries and they where cheaper than a pack of 2. Go figure?.....
More Power - Review written on January 09, 2007
* * * * *
Rating: 5 out of 5

I use my Dewalt 18V cordless tools so much that I use up all power in the two batteries that came with them that I needed more power. Now that I have three I can keep two tools runing while the third battery charges and by the time I need a new battery it's ready. Then I start all over again.

The Battery is operable but way ovrpriced. I guess when it goes bad you just throw away the vacuum or use the power cord. These batteries are all overpriced which makes them very uneconomical in the long run
Solid construction, works as advertised - Review written on November 09, 2006
* * * * *
Rating: 5 out of 5

Purchased as a backup. These are very solidly constructed batteries with very strong cases that will handle lots of abuse. A bit pricey, but nonetheless a good value. Close comparison with the lower end Black and Decker makes the differences pretty clear. No regrets buying into the DeWalt system - I've been satisfied with all the tools and accessories in the line that I have owned over the years.

I to am glad that they haven't changed there design for the way it locks in. I would choose the sliding option over this but I have many Dewalt tools and the batteries are interchangable....A very big plus.

These have been fantastic. There seems to be no memory problems and so far have lasted for many charges. As stated earlier they have a better clip-in system, which is definitely an improve. But to be fair I only had the old XR batteries fall out once. The run time has also improved.

I highly suggest upgrading to the XRPs if you only have the old ones. But when purchasing them just buy the 2 pack. For about $20 to $25 more you get the second battery.
Dewalt Improves what they innovated - Review written on October 23, 2005

As the cordless tool leader, Dewalt recognized that their first line of 18volt battery pack had faulty clips. With this issue, they improved the design of the clips and boosted the performance of these batteries. Though the sliding battery packs maybe easier to use, it is good to know that Dewalt has not abandoned their design.

This drill is still my favorite in performance in what I do.

great deal great brand but the frigging saw ran in reverse I'm glad I had two hands on the wheel! Amazon handled the exchange perfectly! Probably should have rated 1 star but the brand name and Amazon earned it 3 stars....
