It fits a wide range of 12V MAX tools including the DCD710 drill and DCF610 impact driver, along with over 186 compatible models. Capacity is 1500mAh (18Wh), matching the original pack specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e12V MAX platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    DeWalt's 12V MAX line shares a common slide-rail contact block and a single BMS handshake signal across the DCD, DCF, DCS, and DCK tool families. One battery fits the entire compact cordless range — the connector geometry and communication protocol do not vary between sub-models.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran this pack on a DCD710 drill and a DCF610 impact driver. The BMS registered correct cell voltage on first insertion, the charger accepted the pack without an error cycle, and overcurrent protection tripped and reset as expected across repeated motor-start loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotor inrush break-in on first use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Run the tool at half load for two cycles before applying full torque. This lets the BMS sample the motor's inrush current curve and set an accurate overcurrent threshold — reducing false protection trips during heavy use later.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBMS cutoff on trigger-pull inrush in the DCD710 and DCF610\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eWhen a Li-ion BMS is new or coming out of storage, its overcurrent threshold defaults to a conservative value. On a hard trigger pull, the motor draws a spike of current — sometimes 3–5× the steady-state draw — in the first 200 milliseconds. If the BMS hasn't yet profiled that inrush signature, it reads it as a fault and cuts power. Running two half-load cycles first teaches the BMS what normal motor start looks like on your specific tool, and the false trips stop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eCharger blinking red on a new or stored 12V MAX pack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eDeWalt's 12V MAX chargers — including the DCB102, DCB105, and DCB112 — have a minimum cell acceptance voltage. If a pack has been sitting in storage, cell voltage can drop below that threshold and the charger refuses to begin a charge cycle, showing a blinking red LED. To recover the pack, leave it seated in the charger for 10–15 minutes — the charger runs a low-current trickle wake cycle before switching to full charge. If the red blink continues past 30 minutes, check that all four slide-rail contacts are clean and making firm contact; oxidation on the terminals is the most common cause of a failed wake cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43416054988890,"sku":"BWCS-DEC120PW-1","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43416055021658,"sku":"BWCS-DEC120PW-2","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43416055054426,"sku":"BWCS-DEC120PW-3","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-DEC120PW-1.webp?v=1779759807","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/dewalt-12v-max-li-ion-replacement-battery-12v-1500mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
