Our take on the DeWalt DCB230-2 20V MAX Lithium-Ion Battery 3.0Ah

The DeWalt DCB230-2 is a two-pack of 20V MAX XR lithium-ion battery packs for DeWalt's 20V MAX cordless tools. Each pack has a 3-LED fuel gauge so you can check charge at a glance, and the packs run on the DCB118 fast charger in about an hour. The name says 3.0Ah, but the listed capacity is 6.0Ah, so confirm the amp-hour rating on the pack before you buy. At $69.99 at eBay as of November 3, 2026, this is the lowest price seen in the recent window, down from $99.99 on October 28.
