Lipop 2 Pack 6.5Ah 18V DC9096 Battery Replacement for Dewalt 18V XRP Ni-Cad Battery DC9099 DW9095 DW9096 DW9098 DW9099 for 18Volt Dewalt Batteries

I received a 20 volt blower that came with no batteries . Being naive I figured my little 1.5 amp hour batteries would be ok . They are for about 30 seconds on full throttle and about 5 minutes on half (or less :( ) throttle . This will get the grass off the sidewalk after I mow the lawn , which is better than nothing , but not much more . I can still use the rake to clear pine needles from the yard but a power blower would be easier on my old joints so I saw these and decided to give them a try . I looked at others , checked out reviews , weighed this and that and decided these are the ones . Believe it or not what put me over the edge was the color . That isn't a great decider in itself but all other considerations were so close , even to the point of working on my charger from 2013 something had to . They came with 2 bars lit but I don't think they were a full 2/3s full because as soon as I began using them each dropped up 1 bar right away . I got about 12 minutes of non stop full throttle , about 10 minutes in both began to lose some power as i could tell the blower was slowing down on its own . Just prior to low battery shut down it was still about 3/4 speed so it wasn't like the old Nicad days where things would slow to a crawl before finally powering down . The reason i like how it began to slow like it did was I'll know you go ahead and change batteries when it begins to slow for battery health longevity . Lipo batteries last best when not allowed to drain below 20% or fill above 95% . I have an adapter (bought on Amazon ) for my battery powered chainsaw that allows me to use Dewalt batteries instead of Makita so I don't think these batteries will get used much on my Dewalt drill or impact driver as the 1.5s last plenty long for my uses and though old are still pretty healthy . The balance of the battery itself lends to helping it not feel as heavy as it is . They do double in thickness to my OEMs but nothing to make things feel out of balance . Both batteries plugged in just as snugly and with no more difficulty than when my others were new . Time will tell if they are as good as OEMs but at the price paid I already am going out on a limb and going to call them a very good value .

I was shocked at what the bigger DeWalt batteries cost... More than what the impact driver itself cost!! So I found these batteries and I wanted to wait until I used them before reviewing them - And they are excellent batteries!! I've been rebuilding a 16ft x 18ft deck and they last a very long time on my impact driver. They charge up fine on my DeWalt charger and I've charged both of them three times and no problems at all. These are a great value - And so far, so good!! Glad I got them. (-

I have had these for a few months now and they still work. They go flat relatively quickly if they just sit on the shelf, but after charging they seem to hold power for at least long enough for me to work with them. They're keeping my 18V dewalt tools alive before I retire them.

Affordable price for high performance

Bought 2 a year ago, they hold up just as good as my factory Dewalt ones, just bought 2 more. Can't beat the $$$$ ! Highly recommend!

When I first received these batteries, they seem like they were going to be great. Great price charged up. Was able to sink screws with no problem. Then a few days ago, I built a wall to partition off my garage. I needed to drill some holes through the top plate which are two by fours so I could run some electrical wiring up to the attic for some new outlets. I was growing 5/8 inch holes with an auger bit and found that the batteries were not strong enough to Allow me to drill through the two by fours. The bit would just stop and I’d have to reverse it and go again. It was next to impossible to drill through two by fours with a 5/8 inch bit. Would not recommend these batteries if you need to drill through lumber with a bit over 3/8 inch. Disappointed

Fits perfectly, using the charger of the original kit, lasts longer and excellent price when compared with the original!

Husband says these work well.
