Our take on the DeWalt 12V/20V MAX USB Power Source DCB090

The DeWalt DCB090 is a battery adapter that turns any DeWalt 12V MAX or 20V MAX slide-pack into a USB charger. It has one USB-A port rated 2.1A (15W) and a built-in fuel gauge that shows how much charge is left in the attached pack. It ships as a bare unit with no battery and no case, so it only makes sense if you already own DeWalt packs. The latest best price is about $30 at major retailers, in line with its usual range rather than a standout deal.

What reviewers say

Owners rate it 4.6 out of 5 across 260 ratings and mostly treat it as a handy accessory for people already deep in DeWalt batteries. The common complaint is the single slow USB-A port and the extra bulk of a full-size pack.

  • Fuel gauge is useful for checking pack level
  • Compact and easy to keep in a bag
  • Reliable build quality
Cons
  • Only one USB-A port, no USB-C
  • Charging is slow by current standards
  • Bulky with a 20V pack attached
  • No battery included, so cost adds up for new users

Questions and answers

Is the DCB090 worth it?
If you already own DeWalt 12V or 20V MAX batteries, it is a cheap way to get phone charging on the job. If you are starting from scratch, a standalone power bank costs less and charges faster.
Does it work with both 12V and 20V DeWalt batteries?
Yes. It accepts DeWalt 12V MAX and 20V MAX slide-style packs. Older stem-style batteries will not fit.
How fast does it charge a phone?
The USB-A port outputs 2.1A at about 15W. That is fine for most phones but slow for tablets and phones that support higher fast-charge standards.
What is in the box?
The adapter only. No battery, no charger and no case are included.
Can it charge a battery as well as a phone?
No. It only draws power out of the battery to the USB port. It does not charge the pack itself.
When is it cheapest?
It is a low-cost accessory that rarely discounts much. Watch for bundle deals or holiday sales, when it has dipped below its typical price.
What do buyers say about the DeWalt 12V/20V MAX USB Power Source DCB090?
Rated 4.6 out of 5 from 260 ratings.
