DEWALT Powerstack 20V MAX Battery Starter Kit, Rechargeable, 5Ah, Lithium Ion (DCBP520C)

Trying Powerstack out in my older (not brushless) 6.5 in circular saw for a deep cut I can tell that his battery delivers more power and the saw is able to power through the material better. Also, in my 20v blower that I use on my driveway after mowing the battery does a much better job powering the blower at full power before stepping down and dyeing rather quickly as opposed to the older XT 5ah battery that would dwindle down over what felt like the last 25% of the battery to much lower levels, the Powerstack went strong then started to drop off at maybe the last 10% or even less. These do cost more and the costs add up but this combo that I am reviewing often has the battery and 5ah charger for less than anywhere else that I have seen. You can always sell the charger if you don't need it or put it in another location where its handy so I think its the way to go to get the Powerstack. Powerstack pack is a little heaver by about 4.2 oz. and though its slightly slimmer (top to bottom) it has a larger footprint by about 1/4 inch wider and 5.8 inch longer across the base. Also, the power stack also has a grippy rubberized bottom that will not slide around like the XR pack with a smooth plastic base. I'm a bit disappointed that the Powerstack is bulkier than I expected but it does a great job delivering power and I look forward to a larger 6ah or 8ah pack in the future.

Great battery life and reasonably powerful, as it charges from empty to full in about 2.5hrs, which isnt bad at all for an 5AH battery.These slower chargers are also better for battery longevity.Dead simply to use, just slides right onto the charger and provides charge indicator lights.Build quality seems robust too, which is nice to see these days.

All seems legit, charging fine with DCB115 charger, numbers goodJust wish it was the upgraded style but that’s no biggie

For whatever reason, the starter kit which comes with a charger was cheaper than the battery alone. I bought this to see if it would really make a difference with my Dewalt 20 volt tools. I can say without a doubt it really does.I put the battery on my DCS573 circular saw that I have a Diablo 24 tooth blade for rough construction. It is as strong as a corded saw now. I made several cuts through treated 2 by 10, a rim joist on a deck and the saw never slowed down. Because of "operator error" or not paying attention, I cut or sliced a #20 penny nail in half vertically. It doesn't do anything to lengthen life on a saw blade but the motor never slowed down at all.I don't know if it makes any difference on drills or impact drivers but my circular and recip saw have new life. Expensive? sure it is. Worth it? Absolutely! You get what you pay for. You can see going in these batteries are expensive. So don't be the one that complains that your regular compact battery isn't powerful enough...

Hi. Used the battery once and had no need to use it for a couple of months. Had other Dewalt batteries and didn't get to use this particular one again for a while like 4 months. When I tried again it had no power so tried to charge it. Different chargers different times without success. The return window with now six months into it is not available. I contacted Dewalt support and turns out this is not an AUTHORIZED dealer and got no help from them neither. Tried the amazon return and this is not returnable item. Charger works.

Buena,dura la carga suficiente para realizar un trabajo

I received the older version of the DCBP520C which includes the 1.5mah charger. The photos show pictures of the newer version of the product and the older version. New Version, Powerstack is in small letters under XR on battery and the charger is DCB1104 (4 amp). Old version, Powerstack is in large letters on the right of side of the batter and the charger is a DCB1115 (1.5 amp). Three of the four photos of the product show the DCB1104 charger while only one shows the DCB1115. However, I received the older version of the battery and charger. I don't know if there is any difference in the old/new batteries other than outside appearance, but I was expecting the 4 amp charger. That would have made this a much better deal. As is, I'll keep because the new version battery by itself is just 8 dollars cheaper than this battery plus charger.
