Why is this? [Posted on 2002-11-02]
Who would pay $ for one battery; when you could purchase 2 batteries, a charger and the drill itself for $$???.
Why on earth do manufacturers price disposable items such as this so high?
I for one will purchase a new drill----------but it will not be a DeWalt!
Perhaps the same problem will occur with another brand, but I will feel better at the start giving Bosch or Porter Cable my commerce.
Better than Original [Posted on 2005-11-26]
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.

There are two DeWalt replacement battery pack types that I know of. The one that has the XR behind the voltage is a hotter battery than the standard battery. The XR battery is about 1/2 inch longer and may weigh a tiny bit more but its worth it.
I plan on buying a second XR battery. I have purchased two standard sets and they last about a year with me. Sometimes I use them a lot and sometimes they sit for a while betwen use. So far this battery is a gem.
