Our take on the Dewalt 20V MAX XR Lithium-Ion Batteries And Fast Charger Starter Kit
This is DeWalt's 20V MAX XR starter kit: two XR lithium-ion battery packs plus a fast charger. XR packs use higher-capacity cells than DeWalt's standard 20V MAX batteries, so tools run longer between swaps. The fast charger refills a pack in well under an hour, which matters when you rotate two batteries through a saw or drill. It suits anyone already on the 20V MAX platform who wants spare runtime, and it costs less than buying the packs and charger separately.
- Two XR packs give longer runtime than standard 20V MAX cells
- Fast charger refills a pack quickly, so two packs keep a tool running
- Fits the whole DeWalt 20V MAX tool line
- Charges and stores both packs on one unit
- Cheaper than buying the batteries and charger separately

What reviewers say
Owners of DeWalt 20V MAX tools rate the kit for runtime and quick charging, and many buy it as a spare set rather than a first purchase. The main complaints are weight and the fact that it adds no new tool.
- RuntimePraisedOwners say the XR packs outlast standard 20V MAX batteries in saws and drills.
- Charging speedPraisedThe fast charger returns a pack to the tool in well under an hour.
- WeightMixedThe extra capacity makes the packs heavier, which some notice on overhead work.
Questions and answers
- Do these batteries fit all DeWalt 20V MAX tools?
- Yes. They use the standard 20V MAX slide-on foot, so they fit drills, saws, impact drivers and the rest of the line. They do not fit 12V MAX tools or tools that take only FlexVolt packs.
- How is XR different from a standard 20V MAX battery?
- XR packs use higher-capacity cells, so they run longer per charge. The trade-off is more weight and size than the compact standard packs.
- How fast does the charger refill a pack?
- The fast charger brings a pack back to full in well under an hour, faster than DeWalt's standard charger. Expect the pack to get warm during the charge.
- Is this a good first purchase for someone with no DeWalt tools?
- Only if you plan to buy DeWalt 20V MAX tools. The kit has no tool in it, so a combo kit with a drill or saw included is a better start.
- Can I leave the packs on the charger?
- The charger manages the charge and holds the packs, but for longest cell life store packs off the charger at room temperature when you are not using them.
- What is in the box?
- Two 20V MAX XR lithium-ion battery packs and one fast charger. No tool, bag or case is included.
