For the same price of two 5.0Ah batteries I also got a charger and a bag. Can't beat the price that I paid of $159 for the whole package. I just went out and priced up just the batteries and a single battery goes for $75 and a 2-pack goes for around $175. Not sure why they would charge more for a 2-pack, but hey some people don't check the prices. This package contains two 5.0 Ah battery packs with a charger and a really nice bag. The bag is made of descent material that looks like will last a while and is a descent size.

Sorry but I have to revise this review again. I was use to the 18 volt battery and charger where you just drop the battery down into the charger. I decided to try and charge the dead battery again and when I put the battery on the charger and went to move it the battery slipped out of the charger. When I reinstalled the battery I pushed the battery a littler harder and it snapped in. Soooo I checked it the next day and it worked. I bet others that complained made the same mistake as I did. I cancelled my return request.

With 2 5AH batteries, a bigger charger AND a nice tool bag, what more could you want. A different package with ONLY the two batteries was only $2-3 less on Amazon. Crazy! As far as longevity and battery life, I have nothing to add. I've only had this stuff for a few days, and used one of the new batteries once; so... But, if the small 1.2 AH battery that came with my 20V drill is any indication, both life and longevity should be just fine. I can't believe how long even that small 1.2AH battery can power the drill/driver in actual day-to-day use. Good stuff from these folks at Dewalt.

Brand new and authentic Dewalt 20 volt 5 AH max batteries. No problems charging, each one took about an hour for the initial charge. Used with Dewalt cordless inflator for a quick test and inflated 2 truck tires from 15psi to 35psi in 7 minutes for each tire....still fully charged. The bag is nice to have and unzippered carry’s the charger and batteries. Perfect for beach 4 wheeling when you may not always have access to air after lowering your tire pressure for the sand. Also great for keeping up with your tire pressure at home. I know I am reviewing the charger also but they go hand in hand. The charge indicator on the batteries is really convenient. Really happy and confident with this purchase. Planning to buy a 20 volt Dewalt string trimmer so I can justify the purchase of these batteries.

Okay so I'll admit it - I'm a fan of most Dewalt tools. And I've been a "corded" tool guy all this time - until I really needed a 'cordless router'. That's when I bought a Dewalt 20V cordless router DCW600B. But up to that point, I hadn't bought into the cordless game because of the high cost of batteries. The Dewalt 20V MAX Battery Starter Kit with two 5Ah Batteries, charger and bag is a game-changer. It got me in the game with Dewalt 20V cordless tools. I have since purchased several (okay now up to six?) Dewalt 20V tools. And for my use, I couldn't be happier. Since most all cordless tools come as 'tool only', this battery starter kit got me going. Now I can buy tools without having to worry about buying a battery. The batteries in this are genuine Dewalt. The battery charger DCB115 is a standard Dewalt 20V charger - but it also charges Dewalt 12V batteries of which I have 4. And the bag is large enough to hold everything plus one small cordless tool. FYI I like buying Dewalt 'kits' such as this battery starter kit because they're usually a bargain for everything that's included - and the bag in this case helps keep everything together - which I seem to have a problem with! I would (will) definitely buy this again. I highly recommend this especially if you have been holding out and have been waiting to get in the cordless game with Dewalt tools. Thanks.

I needed some more batteries for my Dewalt tools. I calculated the cost per amp-hour of the various batteries available on Amazon at the time (all of which were better than from local hardware stores). My calculation ONLY included the batteries even if there were other items (such as in this case). And, to my surprise, this was the best (i.e., lowest cost per amp-hour) and you also get a charger and a carrying case. That's what I call a great deal. The carrying case is every bit as good as the one I got when I bought my drill. And the charger charges faster than the one I had. So, super good deal. Prices may have changed since I ordered, so I urge you to do your own current calculation.

Frankly, I was somewhat disappointed when I originally bought my DeWalt Combo Drill Motor and Reciprocating Saw in the tough as nails Clam-Shell Case, as DeWalt hid the fact that the batteries were NiCad based. The tools proved to be quite good and durable but eventually the NiCad batteries failed due to NiCad memory problem and the way tools are naturally used. I discovered that DeWalt had started offering a Lithium Ion battery replacement adapter and batteries for those tools that I refused to buy replacement NiCad batteries for. Too expensive for how long they in fact lasted before failing. With the adapter and the LiOn batteries my DeWalt tools are breathing new life again and have become my go-to tools again. However, the adapter once it is snapped on to the tool is virtually impossible to remove, but more importantly is the fact that that so long as the battery is attached the battery is draining although the tool isn't being used and the reason for that state of affairs is due to the fact the DeWalt is using a three terminal electronic 'pass regulator' IC to adapt the higher voltage battery down to the NiCad voltage level used by the tool and there is no OFF switch. So one must either remove the battery when not being used or expect to recharge the battery priort to usage having been stored attached to the tool. Beyond that inconvenience, I have found that the LiOn battery adapter and batteries to be a great DeWalt buy. And the little bag is so well made, what is there not to like about it? I am pleased again with DeWalt (although they really need to stop hiding specs, its cheesy business) Recommendation: It is a good buy.

I'll admit, after reading some of the reviews I had some hesitations. But, knowing I could always return the product or at minimum, exchange it, I went ahead and pulled the trigger. Additionally, DEWALT offers a 1 year, normal wear and tear repair policy and should you not, for whatever reason, utilize the product within the first year, you have an additional 2 years of warranty coverage for product defects (at least for the batteries, I'm not sure on the charger, I'd guess that only has the one year coverage). The product did give me a slight scare at first. I opened the package, plugged it in and quickly realized there is no indicator light letting me know the charging unit has power. Then I got to thinking, do any of my DEWALT chargers do that? So I checked my other 20v charger, and realized it too does not show any signs, without a battery attached, that the charging unit has power. Bullet dodged. I then placed a battery on the charger (new)...nothing. Crap. But then I remembered reading another review on here about how the chargers work if you correctly place the battery on the unit. Usually I'm pretty confident when it comes to charging devices and thought "surely I didn't screw up putting a battery on a charger, I've done countless DIY jobs that would qualify as over-worked but adequate and had to charge many a battery." But just to be sure, I applied some pressure to the battery and the light started pulsating, indicating a charge was happening. I did the math in my head (60-90 minute charge, uh, maybe, well, no. Not gonna happen), and decided that wouldn't work for me. I also dropped the battery on my other charger (DCB107) that I got with my 1.5Ah batteries as part of 20v Cordless Drill(DCD777)/Impact Driver(DCF787) set (Driver is great, drill is great for typical use, lacking when it comes to metal pipes or stone/concrete, though I don't think that was the design intent. So, it does exactly what I expect it to.). That charger began going to work immediately, though I wouldn't recommend using it to charge the 5Ah batteries, it got hot in a hurry. But I did notice that the batteries seemed to slide deeper into the charging holster. So, I went back to my previously misunderstood charger and put the battery back in. Again, nothing, Apply pressure and I get blinking. I then, fearing destruction of my previously mentioned warranty and return policy, pushed the battery downward, in line with the track, and after amount of pressure I would equate to the braking of a popsicle stick, battery slid down further with an auditory, secondary, "click". And this resolved the issue. I then put the second battery on, and it slid in without the "click", and began charging. I'm not sure if the metal prongs have to be aligned or what, but I do know that after I applied that pressure the first time, I have not had to do it since and the batteries charge just fine. If anything changes, I'll update this review. But overall, I'm happy with the purchase and won't hesitate to purchase again in the future.
