Our take on the DeWALT 20V Max 3.0Ah Compact Battery & Charger Starter Kit (DCB230C)

This is a DeWalt 20V MAX starter kit: one DCB230 3.0Ah compact lithium-ion battery plus a charger in a single box. The 3.0Ah pack sits between DeWalt's 2.0Ah compact and 5.0Ah XR packs, so it gives longer runtime than the smallest packs without the bulk of the high-capacity ones. It suits anyone with DeWalt 20V MAX tools who wants a spare battery and a charger, or a first battery for a bare tool. Against third-party and generic 20V packs, you pay for the DeWalt name, the fuel gauge and guaranteed fit in DeWalt tools.

Best forDeWalt 20V MAX tool owners who need a spare packBuyers of bare tools who need a battery and chargerLight to medium use on drills, drivers and small sawsKeeping a second pack charged for all-day jobs
Pros
  • Compact 3.0Ah pack balances runtime and weight
  • Includes both battery and charger
  • Built-in fuel gauge shows charge level
  • Fits the whole DeWalt 20V MAX tool line
  • Lithium-ion cells hold charge between uses
Cons
  • 3.0Ah is modest for high-draw tools like circular saws
  • Only one battery in the kit
  • Charger is a basic model, not a fast multi-port unit
  • Rated 3.8 out of 5 from 27 ratings, so reception is mixed

About the DeWALT 20V Max 3.0Ah Compact Battery & Charger Starter Kit (DCB230C)

The DEWALT 20V MAX 3.0Ah Compact Battery & Charger Starter Kit (DCB230C) includes a DCB230 lithium-ion battery and a charger in one box. It is built to power and charge DEWALT 20V MAX cordless tools such as drills, sanders and saws.

The compact 3.0Ah pack is lighter and shorter than the DCB200 while delivering the same runtime and power. The lithium-ion design has no memory effect and very low self-discharge. A built-in 3-LED fuel gauge shows remaining charge.

The charger works with DEWALT 12V MAX and 20V MAX lithium-ion batteries. An LED diagnostic indicator shows charging status and battery temperature, including when a battery is too hot or too cold to charge right away. Charge time is about 45 minutes for a 20V 3Ah battery.

Questions and answers

Is this battery compatible with all DeWalt 20V MAX tools?
Yes. The DCB230 is a 20V MAX pack and fits DeWalt 20V MAX drills, drivers, saws and other tools in that line. It does not fit DeWalt 12V MAX or FlexVolt-only tools.
How does 3.0Ah compare with DeWalt's 2.0Ah and 5.0Ah packs?
It gives about 50% more runtime than a 2.0Ah compact pack and stays smaller and lighter than a 5.0Ah XR pack. For heavy cutting and grinding, the larger packs last longer per charge.
What is in the box?
One DCB230 20V MAX 3.0Ah compact battery and one DeWalt charger. Tools are not included.
Does the battery have a charge indicator?
Yes. A built-in fuel gauge on the pack shows the remaining charge at the press of a button.
Is this a good first battery for a bare DeWalt tool?
It works well for drills, drivers and light cutting. If you plan to run circular saws or grinders often, a higher-capacity pack will serve you better.
