Dewalt Batteries
DeWalt batteries are the backbone of your cordless kit. From drills to saws, these batteries keep your tools running all day, so you can focus on the job at hand.
They're designed for durability and long-lasting power, making them a staple on any site. Whether you're tackling a big renovation or a quick repair, having the right DeWalt battery means less downtime and more productivity. With options across the voltage range, from 12V to 54V, you can match your battery to your tool for optimal performance. Select the power level that suits your daily demands and ensure your gear is always ready to go.
What Are DeWalt Batteries Used For?
- Powering DeWalt cordless drills and impact drivers for consistent torque and performance on site.
- Running cordless saws efficiently, ensuring clean cuts without the hassle of trailing cables.
- Supporting grinders and sanders in areas where mains power isn't accessible, keeping the workflow smooth.
- Providing reliable energy for site lighting, ensuring visibility during early starts and late finishes.
- Keeping jobsite radios and other ancillary equipment running to maintain site morale and communication.
Choosing the Right DeWalt Battery
Sorting the right DeWalt battery is simple: match it to the job, not the other way around. Here's how to choose wisely:
1. Voltage Matters
If you're using power-hungry tools like saws or SDS drills, opt for 54V for maximum output. For lighter tools, 18V is plenty and keeps the weight down.
2. Amp Hour (Ah) Capacity
Higher Ah means longer runtime. If your day is filled with heavy drilling or cutting, go for 5Ah or above. For quick jobs, 2Ah or 3Ah should suffice.
3. Compatibility with Your Tools
Ensure the battery fits your existing DeWalt tools. Most are compatible across the XR range, but always double-check fitment.
