Better than batteries supplied with drill

I have used this battery for over a month now. My drill is only 3 years old and the two batteries that came with it never had this much power and lenght of use between charges. I am very pleased.

Better price better value

Used to cost $60 now selling for $50. ^M

Purchased my first to replace the originals provided with the 12v XRP 1/2 drill/driver. This battery is better constructed and delivers good power for a long time.The original batteries lasted about a year and a half. The jury is no longer out on this unit. I just purchased my second unit. If you use your tools everyday - buy it - you'll like it. For someone who does not use their tools everyday it may be more cost effective to buy the DW-1214's at $28.00 per. So far the 12v XRP drill/drivers have remained unchanged so your batteries will still have value when your drill wears out.^M

This is the first serviceable battery I have seen from Dewalt; it is screwed together rather than glued. The packaging states that the battery has a 2 year, free service guarantee, which implies that the internal batteries can be replaced within 2 years for only the cost of parts. The packaging states that there is a 3 year limited guarantee on this unit, however there is no documentation that explains what the "limited" guarantee covers.^M

These 12v batteries can fit in and operate my 14.2v xrp driver - a good thing to know in a pinch.^M

What kept me from giving the unit 5 stars is the price. They are still rather expensive. ^M

Dewalt 12 volt replacement battery

The replacement takes longer to charge up but it also lasts longer and has more power than the original batteries that came with my Dewalt 12 volt driver/drill. I am totally pleased with it.
