New batteries from DeWalt

DeWalt offers new batteries for its 12- and 20-volt MAX cordless tools for extended runtime.

The new batteries are the 12V MAX 5.0 Ah (DCB126) and 20V MAX XR 10.0 Ah (DCB210).

“In comparison to existing DeWalt 12V MAX batteries, the 12V MAX 5.0 Ah battery includes twice the number of lithium ion cells, contributing to increased run time and expanding the capabilities of the 12V MAX System. The pack is compatible with most 12V MAX power tools and chargers and includes a two-year limited warranty,” the company said in a statement.

“Utilizing 21-mm large format lithium-ion cells, the 20V MAX XR 10.0 Ah battery is ideal for contractors who require long-runtime applications on a single charge and is designed to reduce the number of battery packs needed on the jobsite. The battery is compatible with most 20V MAX power tools and chargers and has less than a 10-oz. weight difference versus the 20V MAX XR 5.0 Ah battery (DCB205).”

The 10.0 Ah pack comes with a 3-year limited warranty and sells for $219 or in a two-pack for $349.

The 5.0 Ah pack sells for $79 or in a two-pack for $139.
