It fits cordless drills, impact drivers, circular saws, and reciprocating saws across the XR 18V platform. Voltage is 18V, capacity is 3000mAh (54Wh).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eXR 18V platform compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    All listed DCB1xx and DCB2xx packs share the same 18V rail, five-pin connector, and BMS handshake protocol — that's why one replacement covers drills, saws, and drivers across the range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran this pack on a DCD780 drill and a circular saw. The BMS handled motor-start inrush without tripping, held rail voltage within spec under sustained load, and flagged a proper end-of-discharge cutoff rather than hard shutoff.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-use break-in on high-torque tools:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    On first use, run the tool at half load for two cycles before maximum torque applications — this lets the BMS profile the motor's inrush current draw and set overcurrent thresholds accurately before you hit full demand.\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 drill and saw motor-start inrush surge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eEvery time you pull the trigger on a cordless drill or saw, the motor draws a current spike several times higher than its running current — this is inrush. A new battery's BMS hasn't yet profiled the specific motor it's attached to, so its overcurrent threshold may trip on that initial spike. Running two half-load cycles first gives the BMS enough data to adjust. After that, full-torque trigger pulls clear without interruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eCharger blinking red on a new pack pulled from storage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eDeWalt chargers check cell voltage before starting a charge cycle — if cells have self-discharged below roughly 2.5V per cell during storage, the charger rejects the pack and blinks red. This isn't a dead battery; it's a safety gate. Place the pack in the charger and leave it for 10–15 minutes — most DeWalt chargers run a low-current recovery pulse before switching to full charge. If the red blink stops and the amber charge light appears, the pack has cleared the acceptance threshold and is charging normally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43416056889434,"sku":"BWCS-DEC180PW-1","price":85.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43416056922202,"sku":"BWCS-DEC180PW-2","price":100.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43416056954970,"sku":"BWCS-DEC180PW-3","price":111.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-DEC180PW-1.webp?v=1779759807","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/dewalt-xr-li-ion-18v-replacement-battery-18v-3000mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
