Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days may have wrapped up earlier this week, and while the prices of most items have risen again, some are still on sale. A few of DeWalt's best-selling power tools and accessories, such as the popular oscillating multi-tool and cordless drill and driver kit, are still discounted, though at slightly higher prices than during the sale. But for DeWalt's 20V batteries, the opposite is true; The price is even lower at about $25.

This battery set is compatible with DeWalt's 20V series products, from the wildly popular cordless drill to the jobsite favorite fan. They're packed with 5Ah of power, and together they can get you through a full day (or more) of work. The batteries come with a 4Ah charging station that can charge one battery at a time, and there's even an indicator to show how close they are to a full charge. DeWalt also includes a carrying case for storing the kit and other tools.
When purchasing branded batteries online, some customers need to do their due diligence to ensure they are purchasing a legitimate product. One customer noticed a few differences between what he saw online and what he received and “called DeWalt” to investigate, but the brand confirmed everything was legit. “The writing and patterns on the sides do not match what is in the photo… Called and emailed DeWalt to check and they confirmed the batteries were original.” Other customers found the same thing, including one who said, “These are the real deal.”

Other shoppers are wondering how long these 5Ah batteries will last. In short, it depends on what the job is. One customer who had landscaping work ahead of him said: “I've found that one battery can last about an hour of pruning, so it's a good idea to have more than one battery on hand if you plan on doing any hedge trimming.” Another customer, who does more of a stop-and-go job, said: “I used this battery to cut various sizes of pipe over a 10-hour period and it never dropped below 50%. I used it all up in about 25 hours.”
Whether you're a DIYer or working on a job site on the road, having spare batteries is never a bad thing. So this $156 DeWalt Battery Charging Kit is an absolute steal. We don't suspect this will sell out, but we've seen the price fluctuate significantly in the last month, so make sure you act fast to get the biggest savings.
