I was just in the tool shop of Bunnings and noticed 5.0ah 18V DeWalt battery for $99. Seemed cheaper than usual and googled to see other stores have this for $135

Sydney tools - $139 - https://sydneytools.com.au/product/dewalt-dcb184-18v-5-0ah-x…
Just Tools - $135 - https://www.justtools.com.au/dewalt-18v-50ah-lithium-ion-xr-…
Amazon - $135 - https://www.amazon.com.au/Dewalt-DCB184-XE-Li-Ion-Premium-Ba…

Not familiar with the eBay stores but seems to be around $119

I know it isn't great value buying batteries on their own, but thought it could be handy for someone who got this deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/709385

The twin back of these batteries is listed as $299 at Bunnings https://www.bunnings.com.au/dewalt-18v-xr-li-ion-5-0ah-batte…

Price seems to only be in Victoria. Other states listing it for $139.

    Is it compatible with this Dewalt heated jacket?

      It is but 5ah is quite large and heavy for the jacket pocket. 2ah would be more comfortable.

      Yep, last long if low mode on heat jacket BUT bulky in front of your tummy. Suggest you can buy universal adapter with belt clip from ebay.

        Great idea. I'll hang it from my tool belt. The extra weight won't be that noticeable plus, if the battery on my drill runs out, I'll have a spare battery handy.

  Tip . Don’t leave these on the charger once fully charged. Did that to one and it barely holds A charge now

  Nice find. regarding longevity, do you know the printed or stamped date, top of the battery? If year is 2016 to 2019, it may be getting old.

  Does anybody know how to adapt these 18v batteries to the 14.4v XR Dewalt drill/drivers etc? People have argued quite convincingly that it has worked wonders for them for years (and is fine, considering most Dewalt motors' "voltage range"), but I can't find the specifics/vids/tech specs of this hack online, or any adapters that don't look like the old ni-cad types.

  edit: in short, how do I make this battery fit where this battery currently goes (my charger already does both)?

    i personally wouldnt bother as i dont like the idea of damaging my skins

    i have a heap of B&D gear and although DeWalt Stanley B&D are all the same company none of their stuff is LIKE compatible… the slots and active contacts are different.

    You can get adapters off ebay for like $50 but then you may as well put that into genuine batteries.
