ExpertPowerReplacement Battery for DeWalt DC9182, DC9181, DC9180, 18V XRP Lithium Ion fits All Dewalt 18 Volt Tools

I have a number of 18 volt DeWalt tools that work fine, but batteries eventually wear out. DeWalt no longer makes 18 volt batteries, so need to purchase after-market batteries. Tried another brand that had an over-sized battery and had trouble removing from tool. Found these batteries and they fit perfectly, 4" long x 3" wide, same as original. Also lighter than oversized battery. Have had for a month and works as expected, recharges as expected. Appears to be durable.

The battery worked fine during the Amazon return period, just like a Dewalt. But a week after the return window closed, I stuck it in my saw and about 2 sec into the cut, everything just went dead. So I swapped it out with one of my Dewalt batteries and finished the job. About 15 minutes later I tried the battery again, thinking it would reset and it was still dead. So I stuck it on the charger. The lights flashed as normal and it eventually showed a full charge. Now I'm at the end of the day and I just tried the battery again and it is still dead. I'm not sure what else to try. It's been over a week and still no sign of life in it.I've tried contacting the company via email and their website support page for warranty but with no reply's. I was almost ready to buy a couple more batteries, but I will be rethinking that purchase.Amazon sent me a link to a survey about how well the support went. I gave them the negative news. I'm not sure what good that did?Just my experience so far.-Jack

AMAZON IS THE BEST

I bought two to try. I see allot of negative reviews but I don't have any complaints after moderate use and several cycles. I'll be back to change my review if anything goes south. I refuse to replace all my DeWalt tools because DeWalt glommed out and changed the battery design. I don't see it not being economical to try these even if you get an occasional dud. I don't do 9-5 Pro work anymore. I am only a home gamer now, so I cannot even speculate on longevity. As for smoking that would be unacceptable.I disassembled one and forfeited my warranty but I had to see the guts. I was unhappy to see only 5 cells (as shown in image), but I was kind of impressed with the controller. The battery does prove to be a solid 18 v with a reading ofThey seem to be able to run at high discharge as the DeWalt reciprocating saw will stress even OEM batteries. I have to say, what I do like the most about them is there a very light and that makes them great for when doing any overhead work.I don't notice a huge difference in run time and they fit the tools very well. I think I might actually rather have 10 of these than 6 DeWalts. Anyway you really don't have a choice anymore. These are what I am very happy that I don't have to buy a whole new cordless tool set. Shame on you DeWalt.

Worked perfectly

I wrote this the following in January 2020:I bought 4 of these batteries in the past was a bit miffed when one of them went out. When I looked up when I bought them so I could contact the company about their defective batteries, I found that it had been 3 years! This is longer than the OEM battery life. So rather than complain, I purchased more. The only thing that would make these batteries better is if they were available in a higher amp-hour rating. Please keep making these so I can gladly buy more in another 3 years!Mid 2020:I ordered another pair of batteries in January which then lasted only a few months. Amazon warranty sent me another pair.October 2020:Now, here it is less than 6 months after receiving the replacements & they are both dead! They are still within the original 1 year warranty. Too bad the newer batteries aren't of the quality they were several years ago.I contacted the regular amazon customer service chat folks & was told that there was nothing they could do since these were warranty replacements. They gave me an email address ([email protected]) to check with to see if there is anything they can do. I'm waiting for a response. If I receive on that either gets me a refund or replacement batteries I'll update this review. Otherwise I'll see if I can find a different brand battery to purchase.

Couldn’t find the battery for my older drill at any store. So happy I could find it on Amazon & didn’t have to trash a perfectly good tool.

The order was incorrect one Batty did not and was not for a dewalt and the second batty while it would work in the tool would not fit in the charger. My primary complaint was the process to return the item I am unable to take pictures of the item copy the packing slip and submit this in the org. box. It did arrive in a box but a padded case. This is the only time I have order from this comp. I will return the items with a copy of the packing slip .
