Is this battery worth it over DeWalt's older compact pack?

DeWalt rates it more powerful, smaller and lighter, with twice the lifetime. If you want less weight in the hand, it is the better pick; if you need long runtime, a larger capacity pack suits better.

Does it fit all DeWalt 20V MAX tools?

Yes. It is a 20V MAX battery and works with the 20V MAX tools and chargers DeWalt already sells.

What does the DCB112 charger accept?

It charges DeWalt 12V MAX, 20V MAX and 20V/60V MAX FLEXVOLT batteries.

How many batteries are in the kit?

One battery, plus the DCB112 charger.

Is it good for heavy cutting and drilling?

It runs those tools, but the compact capacity means shorter runtime than a full-size pack. Keep a larger battery for long jobs.

Can I leave the battery on the charger?

DeWalt's charger is designed for routine charging; follow the manual's guidance on storage and charging temperature.
