Dewalt Replacement Batteries - Rick_B - 07-29-2019 I need to replace the batteries for a Dewalt 18 volt drill. Both batteries no longer charge. I am assuming it is the battery as the charger gives a code indicating that the pack should be replaced. Has anybody had experience with the non-OEM brands from sources like Amazon and Ebay - roughly $15 to $18 each (versus a Dewalt replcement for $75 each). Should I avoid the low price options and just search for a new drill? Thanks RE: Dewalt Replacement Batteries - JDuke - 07-29-2019 I’d get an adapter kit for about $119 from dewalt The kit includes an adapter to use the 20v batteries on 18v tools two batteries and a charger The price is $149 regularly but goes on sale frequently at $119 Then eventually transition to the newer 20v tools Duke RE: Dewalt Replacement Batteries - johndi - 07-29-2019 I asked this some time ago, and most of the replies were that the cheap ones hold up for a decent amount of time but you get what you pay for. RE: Dewalt Replacement Batteries - EdL - 07-29-2019 Either buy the adaptor to fit the 20v max or give it to someone you don't like and buy new....

I have a Dewalt 18V impact driver and circular saw. I have to add, I have Bosch 12V impact driver, and 2 drills. The Bosch are great tools. When I bought the Dewalts, I thought the power difference would be several magnitudes greater, however, it was not. RE: Dewalt Replacement Batteries - fredhargis - 07-30-2019 I just bought some aftermarket batteries for my Milwaukee. So far (after several months) they have worked every bit as well as the OEM. I admit they likely won't live as long, though in all honesty the OEM didn't last as long as I thought they should.

I have been well pleased with four 20v batteries I bought from a long time seller on Ebay...Less than 1/2 the price of the name brand batteries. I'd buy them again...

Make darn sure you take the battery out or the next time you use it you'll have a dead battery. 2. According to Dewalt it only works with their lower capacity batteries, so if you buy extras make sure they will work with the adapter. RE: Dewalt Replacement Batteries - sbarlin - 07-30-2019 I’ve got two aftermarket batteries from Amazon I purchased about a year ago. So far so good. They don’t get heavy use but they seem to hold a charge as well as the DeWalt batteries RE: Dewalt Replacement Batteries - Stwood_ - 07-30-2019 (07-30-2019, 08:12 AM)Timberwolf Wrote: ............................. Yep. Can't remember the sellers name offhand, but bought two 12v for one of my milwaukee drills a couple of years ago. Still going. I need to pull the trigger and get some bt140's for my bosch drills. The battery's are dropping from old age. 10-12 years on them now. |
