DEWALT 18V XRP Batteries, Combo Pack (DC9096-2S)

My power tools were struggling to cut and drill, even in softwoods and with a new saw blade and drills. My old batteries would charge, but did not have enough power. The new batteries are a game changer, my cordless tools, work great, and the batteries last much longer. I know they’re expensive, but it’s worth the cost. I use my cordless tools all the time , it’s like having a new tool set.

Long lasting. Easy to install and remove. Great price.

I am a contractor and love my Dewalt cordless tools. Unfortunately, the weak link is the battery. There comes a time when you have to decide, "Do I replace my 18 volt batteries (which are not cheap) or buy new higher volt cordless tools?" As I mentioned, I am very happy with my Dewalt 18 volt tools and have quite a few of them. I noted that most brands are coming out with higher voltage tools, but mine are still gong strong. I contemplated purchasing rebuilt batteries, but then you really never know how they will last and even the re-builts are not cheap...then I ran across these new Dewalt batteries on Amazon. At the time I purchased them, they were two for $99 and on Prime, so get them right away with no shipping charges. I purchased two sets, so now I have four brand new batteries. They charged up well and last long...I am extremely happy with my investment in the new batteries and how they perform. I highly recommend these awesome replacement batteries. They are the real deal.

Revised & Updated 4/19/16 I use these in my drill/driver, circular saw, reciprocating saw, flashlight kit I have had since 2002 — and also the portable vac. Part of the reason I have not upgraded to the kits with 20v Li-ion batteries is because well, despite tool lust for the newer models, every tool still works great and I have used them extensively over the years. They look like crap now, but are rock solid. I've replaced my original set 3 times since then so they last about 4 years before needing replacement. Evidently I got a bad set on my order initially and I am unsure of the root cause. I wrote a rather scathing review due to my disappointment. But I have changed my review based on the the fact that DeWalt contacted me in the comments to this post within 3 days of writing it. Between Tabitha and Meghan they were able to resolve the issue by sending me two brand new batteries — only one was performing poorly. I sent them serial numbers of the batteries and pictures of my chargers. They sent me two replacement batteries and these are definitely holding a charge and delivering the amperage when needed on the tasks I was complaining about earlier. For that I have revised my review to 5 stars. I'm not sure what the deal was with the first set, maybe they sat in a shipping container or truck in the heat too long I don't know. But things like this happen, and I love it that DeWalt stood by their product. And glad to see it is just a fluke/glitch and not an indicator of the direction of the company as a whole. But more importantly I think anyone reading this can be assured that DeWalt customer service is prompt, full of integrity, and stands by their products. That alone is worth the small difference in price over the Chinese knock-offs.

I have had my Dewalt tool set for over 6 years and one of the original batteries was not longer holding a charge, so I began to investigate my options. I will admit a brand new tool set was oh so very tempting, but the price tag set me straight. So I turned my attention to replacement batteries, where I had three options, aftermarket, Dewalt NiCad, or Dewalt lithium. After reading review I ruled out the aftermarket as they did not seem to last as long, both in terms of use from each charge and the overall life of the battery. So I was left with Dewalt batteries. I wanted the lithium, I really did, the price was not too much more, they last longer, hold a charge when not used for longer, and work get more done per charge. But, alas while they do work, they are not the same form factor and many had complained that their tools no longer balanced on the battery. This mattered for me because I like to have my drill stand up when I set it down. So, I was left with OEM replacement. As a battery they work just as well, if not better, the the batteries that came with the tool set when it was new. Like I said I only wish the cost spread was a little more between these and lithium batteries.

home use

I'm not real great at treating these batteries with care. I leave these batteries out in my trunk - summer and winter. Here in Ontario (Canada) it gets very warm in the summers and very cold in the winters. No matter what I do with these batteries - I keep charging them up and they keep working. I'm very happy with the quality of these Dewalt batteries. I would be lost without my Dewalt drill.

Good battery's, better than the aftermarket alternatives...buy cheap, buy twice!

These look and fit as original in all detail, appear to charge and run well. For home use and work only so not in the front line all of the time. Hopefully they last as long as original for what i will use them for, lighter use. ? Pleased i can at least put some life back into my 18v tools. Dewalt should consider continuation of these as there is a lot of tools out there requiring this product and although the newer 20v Lithium is prevelent it should be a choice to change not a necessity. These batteries are becoming extinct very quickly ?

Exelentes pilas dura mucho su carga aun cargandoles mucho trabajo, muy buena marca, la recomiendo mucho, las uso en un taladro inalambrico para carpinteria.
