Our take on the DeWALT 20V MAX 5.0Ah Battery, 2-Pack

This is a two-pack of DEWALT's DCB205 20V MAX XR 5.0Ah lithium-ion batteries, the mid-capacity packs for the whole 20V MAX tool line. Each pack has a 3-LED fuel gauge and weighs about 1.4 lbs. No charger or tools are included. It is a straightforward way to add runtime or replace aging packs without buying a new kit.

Questions and answers

Is the two-pack worth it over buying single packs?
Usually yes if you run several tools or want a spare on the charger. Compare the per-pack price against single DCB205 listings before buying.
Will these fit my older DEWALT 20V MAX tools?
Yes. The DCB205 works with the entire DEWALT 20V MAX line and its chargers. It does not fit the older 18V ni-cad tools without an adapter.
Is a charger included?
No. The box has two DCB205 batteries only. You need a DEWALT 20V MAX charger, which most owners already have from a kit.
How does 5.0Ah compare to the 2.0Ah packs?
DEWALT rates the 5.0Ah pack at up to 60% more capacity than a standard 20V MAX pack. Expect longer runtime but more weight, about 1.4 lbs per battery.
Should I get the 6.0Ah or FlexVolt instead?
The 6.0Ah gives more runtime in the same 20V MAX form. FlexVolt packs are for tools that support them and cost more. The 5.0Ah is the balanced choice for most 20V MAX tools.
When is it cheapest?
Two-packs tend to drop during holiday sales and DEWALT promotions. Check the price history before buying; the latest best price was $159 at Distritech as of November 3.
