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?

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?

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

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.

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. https://www.walmart.com/ip/2147688723?sid=53b10dd0-0330-49dd-ad42-7304a2f5256b I’ve been buying a pair of Dewalt 5 batteries on Amazon with a charger for about $150. I have plenty of chargers now. Last edited by A930Rocket; 06-30-2025 at 04:13 PM.. |
