Dewalt 5AH battery
 

I’ve been looking for another battery for my Dewalt tools and came across this. $45 at Walmart. My local Ace has them for $149. What am I missing?http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1751290424.jpg

Price error? I think you should buy all of them up and put an ad out at $100 and see what happens. Return them if the market doesn't reward you.

That has to be a mismark on the price. If it's not, grab me five of them!

On a side note, when did Walmart start carrying DeWalt?

Same battery? Not a walmart chinese knockoff? I bought some cheap chinese knockoffs on Amazon and they work fine for the most part but won't operate certain tools like my finish nailer. They also won't charge in certain chargers

They're $149 on Lowe's website and only $68 on Amazon at the "DeWalt Store".

Does the $149 price include the charger?

Exactly. Steal deal, if that's legit.

Walmark on line? I am next in line

Walmart online. I bought it and it’s the real deal . Does not come with a charger.

Odds are they're counterfeit then. I'm still relatively sure my new stacked lithium batteries I bought on Amazon are fake, but I registered them with Dewalt and they didn't kick them back as having a wrong serial number or other oddity. I still question though because they don't have tamper resistant screws in the batteries.

All the 5ah batteries like the one pictured didn't have tamper resistant screws either. FWIW, the only complaint I have with the presumed fake batteries is that two of the five I have only charge to two bars where the rest charge to three.

Was it sold by Walmart or sold by some third party?

IDK man... too good to be true?

Good question. I’ll see how long it lasts. I don’t need them everyday so maybe it will be ok.

Yep.. probably a knock off. I looked closer at the order and it says sold and shipped by San Diego store, Live and learn!

I bought 4. Will see how it goes. If not, its no big lost. Someone will find use for it Will report back

The ones I know are fakes have lasted me over four years.

It's interesting, I might be willing to buy a "compatible" battery, but would be far, FAR less likely to buy a counterfeit battery, when in this case the only difference would be the printing/branding on the item. But, I do generally avoid cheap Chinese batteries. I'd hate to have a cheap battery burst into flames in my house, garage, car, whatever. It would not be "cheap" after that. But if you've got a good place to store them so you aren't worried about a huge loss, and/or maybe you go through them like gangbusters, then maybe no big deal.

The one battery ends up costing $58 after shipping.

They do have a two pack for about $89 and free shipping

I was tempted to buy a couple more, but I’ve got 9-10 DeWalt 5 amp batteries now.

I’ve been buying a pair of Dewalt 5 batteries on Amazon with a charger for about $150. I have plenty of chargers now.

I just ordered the two for $77.58

You can never have enough batteries!
