Questions and answers
- Which is better value, the 2-pack or the single battery?
- The 2-pack wins on cost per battery if you can use two packs. Its lowest recent price was $89.99 for both. Compare the single battery's price to half of that.
- Do both batteries fit the same tools?
- Yes. Both are DEWALT 20V MAX 6.0Ah packs and fit 20V MAX tools and chargers. The 2-pack lists the DCB112 charger as an exception.
- Will the 2-pack charge on my DCB112 charger?
- No. The DCB206-2 listing warns these packs won't charge on the DCB112. Use a DCB118 fast charger or another compatible 20V MAX charger.
- Which lasts longer on a charge?
- They are equal at 6.0Ah per pack, so runtime per battery is the same. The 2-pack gives you a spare to swap in.
- How long does each take to charge?
- About 60 minutes on a fast charger such as the DCB118. Neither listing includes a charger in the box.
- Is the single battery worth it if I only need one?
- Yes, if you own one tool and want the lighter 2 lb pack. You avoid paying for a second battery you won't use.
