DEWALT DW9061 XR, Better than Original

Overall Rating44444

Better than Original

Please note that this is the XR battery pack. Most 9.6 volt tools from DeWalt come with the standard battery pack. The XR pack features 25% more runtime. So if you’re thinking about buying a new tool instead of replacement batteries, be aware of the difference in the batteries. By the way, higher voltage DeWalt replacement batteries are labeled XRP. These proide 40% more runtime than the standard batteries. Also note that the extended runtime batteries are slightly larger and heavier than the standard versions.

Update (5/20/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

Dewalt Battery
The battery worked well when i first got it but after a year it was pooped out and would not take much of a charge. This was my second replacement so i got a Bosch to replace the dewalt. Dewalt had two batteries that came with it one of them was no good.

There’s nothing like the original
I have tried 2 after-market battery packs in an attempt to save a litte (these batteries are not cheap) and they just don’t measure up to the original DeWalt version. This one fits right, unclips easily (I had to take a screwdriver to one of the clone versions to get it out of my drill) and lasts longer.

These days I can’t find the 9.6v anywhere but online so you also have to factor in a little extra cost for shipping, but the non-OEM items just aren’t the same. I buy DeWalt tools for a reason - I guess that reason extends to the batteries too!
