It fits drills, impact drivers, circular saws, and other 18V XR tools. Voltage is 18V nominal; capacity is 6000mAh (108Wh) as rated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eXR 18V platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    DeWalt's 18V XR line uses a shared battery rail and BMS communication protocol across the DCB180 through DCB206 family. The connector geometry, contact pin layout, and charge management signals are consistent across this platform, so one pack covers drills, saws, and impact drivers without modification.\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 draw cycle. The BMS held the overcurrent threshold correctly on motor-start inrush and did not trip under sustained load. Cell balancing completed normally at end of charge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBreak-in procedure for motor tools:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    On first use, run your tool at half load for two cycles before full-torque applications. This lets the BMS profile the motor's inrush current draw and calibrate its overcurrent protection threshold before you push maximum load.\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\"\u003eWhen you pull the trigger on a drill or circular saw, the motor draws a spike of current that can be four to six times the running draw. A new pack with uncalibrated BMS thresholds can read this spike as a fault and cut power instantly. This is not a defective cell — it is the protection circuit acting on an unfamiliar load profile. Running two half-load break-in cycles trains the BMS to distinguish a normal inrush spike from a genuine short-circuit event.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eCharger blinking red on a new pack after storage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eIf the pack has sat unused for several months, cell voltage can drop below the charger's acceptance threshold — typically around 2.5V per cell. The DCB112 and DCB115 chargers blink red when they detect voltage below this floor and refuse to start a full charge cycle. Place the pack in the charger and wait up to five minutes — most DeWalt chargers run a trickle pre-charge to bring cells back above the acceptance voltage before switching to normal charge mode. If the red blink continues past ten minutes, check cell voltage directly; a reading below 14V across the pack indicates cells that will not recover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43416046305370,"sku":"BWCS-DEC180PH-1","price":105.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43416046338138,"sku":"BWCS-DEC180PH-2","price":124.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43416046370906,"sku":"BWCS-DEC180PH-3","price":137.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-DEC180PH-1.webp?v=1779759665","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/dewalt-xr-li-ion-18v-replacement-battery-18v-6000mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
