DeWalt DC9091 XRP 14 4 Volt 2 4 Amp Hour NiCad Pod Style Battery

Step up to the extra power of the DeWALT14.4-volt XRP battery pack. This high-capacity NiCad (nickel cadmium) battery delivers 40 percent more run time than standard NiCads. That means you can work longer—drive more screws, bore more holes—and spend less time swapping out and recharging batteries.

The XRP pack, which stands for eXtended Run-time Performance, will fit all of DeWALT’s 14.4-volt cordless tools and chargers, except its Univolt tools. Finally, remember to recycle your old batteries. –Joseph Truini

What’s in the Box
One rechargeable 14.4-volt XRP NiCad (nickel-cadmium) battery

4 Stars Dewalt 14.4 volt battery
The price for these batteries was very reasonable compared to the full price. I would recommend these to anyone needing new 14.4 volt Dewalt batteries.

5 Stars Vince
These XRP batteries are a lot better than the original battery if your drill was made after about 1999. My original batteries only lasted about 3-4 years on my new drill (purchased 2004). I have a Dewalt 14.4V I bought in 1994 and still use the original batteries. One word of caution, the XRP batteries will not fit in the older drill case whether on or off the drill because they are larger. The older case has a more molded appearance on the inside and is double wall plastic.

5 Stars DeWalt 14.4v NiCad replacement battery
I was disappointed in the DeWalt 14.4 volt batteries that came with my drill/driver. When one totally died during a project I sent my wife out to get a replacement battery. She returned with a NiCad version which I loved. It holds a charge extremely well and lasts much, much longer between charges. I was so impressed that I got a second one and recycled my remaining (operable) original battery. It makes using the drill much more practicle.

5 Stars DeWalt Battery
There’s not much to say it’s a battery, but so far it seems to be working great

5 Stars Great power, high output
Bought a set of DeWalt tools, which included two XRP 14.4v batteries and a charger over four years ago. I didn’t really use the set much until the last two years, when I suddenly had a couple of backyard projects. These batteries pack quite a charge, and provides plenty of power and duration, especially for the reciprocating saw and trim saw. Unfortunately, last weekend one of the batteries died out and wouldn’t take a charge anymore (it’s been on the wane for a couple months before that). I’m hoping the other one will continue to work, but now I’m stuck with only one working battery. I came nowhere near the advertised 1,200 charge/discharge cycles, so that was disappointing.

I’ve had these units for more than four years, so I can’t complain about one dying. While I agree that these batteries are excellent, and should be priced accordingly, I’m not sure they need to be quite that expensive. There are companies that’ll rebuild the battery pack, typically with longer-lasting sub-C cells, for less than the cost of a new one (but admittedly not by much). Based on trade reviews, the rebuilds either meet or exceed specifications, and I’m leaning that way not so much for the cost savings, but for the extended runtime.

So, in summary, these are absolutely great batteries. The NiCad technology is proven, dependable, and is suited well for high drain devices such as power tools. However, given the relative cost and simplicity of manufacturing a unit, you should be able to get more performance for less from a reputable battery rebuilder.

EDIT (12/04/2009): Bought a DeWalt DC9310 charger DeWalt DC9310 Heavy-Duty 7.2 Volt – 18 Volt 1 Hour Charger to replace DC9116 charger. The DC9310 was able to charge the dead DC9091 to ~12 volts consistently, indicating two dead cells. Battery is now usable again, but at 12 volts. While not ideal, it was good enough for me to effectively operate all the tools, thus extending the life of the battery.

DeWALT DC9091-2 14.4v 14.4 Volt XRP Battery 2 Pack NEW

I was pleased that I received this product very quickly; however, it is too early to tell how well the batteries will hold up. I have had poor results as far as total battery life with these XRP batteries in the past.

4 Stars Frugal working stiff
This battery works well and are a good price. Come on, we all know what the dewalt batteries are. What more need be said?

Great Buy !! Hopefully I’ll get another 18 years out of these Dewalt replacement batteries.

5 Stars B&D Battery
I bought a drill about 12 years ago that was just the perfect size for my small hand. It is impossible to find a drill with such good power and battery life and I was so happy to be able to find this battery. I hope they never stop making replacement batteries. Thanks!

5 Stars PS120 Battery in DeWalt DW926 Cordless Drill
After reading many reviews I decided to give this battery a try. It was by far the least expensive. Upon receipt I noticed some slight physical differences, but found that they did not hinder insertion of the battery into either the drill or the charger. I am also very pleased with the power of the battery. So far (a few months)I have used it a number of times and not yet had to re-charge. I gave it a 24 hour initial charge in my DeWalt charger which worked flawlessly. My drill is the DW926 that originally used the DW9062 9.6v DeWalt battery. This is a perfect alternative, and much less expensive, for the regular replacement DeWalt battery.

5 Stars What is real capacity of this battery?
There’s no information on it about capacity at all. Only promo saying “now 30% more capacity”. So, if we consider “basic” capacity as 1.2ah (As does DW9062), increased capacity should be 1.5ah ? I have not used this battery so much yet, so can’t say anything about actual capacity. Only thing to note is that while it is compatible with DeWalt 9.6V batteries, it is a bit bigger, and strangely – much more lighter than dewalt ones, which leads to unpleasant conclusions. Personally for me it has no meaning, since I’m going to re-pack this unit with higher capacity NiMH cells.

I opened this battery today. The cells inside are 1.2ah, and increased dimensions are just caused by plastic spacer under the cells.

4 Stars DeWalt fit – Heads up
Just a heads up. The B&D PS120 Fire Storm 9.6-Volt replacement battery

DOES NOT FIT out of the package into a DeWalt 952 drill/screwdriver.

BUT … I cut a 1/16″ x1/16″ notch with a utility knife into the seating area on the DeWalt drill to accommodate the extra guide on the battery.

(After insert adjustment, battery works fine in drill and a good price; I would have rated 5 except for the adjustment needed. I’m ordering a second B&D battery to have on hand … both my 10 year old original DeWalt batteries had died.)

2 Stars Not a perfect fit
Other reviewers indicated this battery was a replacement for the Dewalt 9.6 volt. It will fit, but only after trimming off part of the battery housing. Additionally, it is quite a bit lighter than the Dewalt, which translates to less capacity.

5 Stars Amped up
Two good batteries for a good price.The NiCad’s have always worked well for what I use them for so I can’t see paying twice as much for the lithium ion batteries.

1 Star Short Life and Way too Expensive
This is worse than replacing ink-jet printer cartridges !!! (could be debated)

My second pair of 18 volt XRP batteries quit working, and they are not quite two years old!

They have not been abused and have been properly maintained and charged. I even use Dewalt’s reconditioning charger on them every so often.

Dewalt ! ….these batteries should cost at least 60% less considering their longevity!

Now, do I spend another $120 on two batteries that have 18 months of productive use … or Buy the Hitachi Pro 18v Lithium Cordless drill, w/2 1.5ah batteries for only $159 …hmmmmm

2 Stars Very Short Life and Too Expensive
I own a lot of 18V DeWalt batteries(NICd) and tools (about 7 drills, 3 or 4 reciprocating saws, rotary laser level, 3 cordless nail guns, etc.). Most of them are dead. Some of them are less than 2 years. All of DeWalt 18V batteries discharge very quickly by themselves without using (less than a week after fully charged). I understand none of rechargeable batteries last forever and there is a life span. But comparing to other brands, DeWalt batteries are the most expensive and last less. Last year I bought a 18v combo set (drill, circular saw & flash light w/2 batteries) of Porter Cable at Lowes. I think it was less than $100.00. It has been a year. I don’t take this one to the job site because all of my cordless tools are DeWalt. It has been in the garage for more than a year. I have not recharged battery yet after fully charged on the date of purchase. I have been using it occasionally, but it is still very powerful almost same as the fully charged on the first day. It is very hard for me to change other brands of cordless because I already have too many 18v DeWalt. I agree with most of negative reviews. Before I place this review, I have thought a lot whether I am wrong or I expect too much. However, DeWalt batteries are too expensive and don’t last long comparing to other brands. I use these tools almost every day as a professional carpenter. Early this year I bought a combo set of Lithium 18V DeWalt, drill & impact. It is still working good same as new one. I wish to buy another DeWalt 18v lithium battery only, but too expensive. It is better to buy a full set with batteries.

I wish there are some generic brands of these batteries or DeWalt makes its price lower.

5 Stars Great product- works very well
These batteries are MUCH better than the previous generation. My drill had more power than it ever had! Great price and well worth the money. [...]

2 Stars be aware of the dates on these batteries
these bateries are working fine, however the date on the batteries is 2008 this could make for a big problem with dewalt when you try to get them to honor there 3 year manufacture guarantee?????

DEWALT DC500 2 Gallon 12 to 18 Volt Cordless Corded Wet Dry Vacuum

Giving you the option to work cordless or corded, the convenient and powerful DeWalt DC500 Two Gallon Wet/Dry Vacuum sucks up big work shop messes and job site debris quickly and efficiently. A unique, high-efficiency filter handles particles as small as 0.3 microns and captures 99.7-percent of dust, letting you present finished products neatly and keep fine drywall dust and other health hazards out of the air. The filter can be rinsed clean, and, since it is a wet/dry filter, you don’t have to worry about time consuming change overs between jobs. This vacuum’s heavy-duty rubber hose flexes to fit in awkward spaces, and it comes with both a crevice tool and a wide nozzle for added versatility. Other convenient features include an on-board hose design, cord and accessory storage that makes moving from site to site easy, and a drain port on the tank for quick, spill-free disposal of liquids. This vacuum runs off either 120-volt AC power or 12-18-volt DeWalt batteries (batteries and charger not included). This DeWalt high-performance industrial tool is backed by a 3-year limited warranty.

3 Stars It’s okay – I expected more
I’ve had the Dewalt DC500 for about a year and have used it dozens of times.

This product works for light duty pick up — saw dust in the shop; sugar or coffee spills in the kitchen. However, for vacuuming carpeted stairs, car floors, and other surfaces that you want to really clean without dealing with cords or weighty appliances, I have to think there are other products with more suction.

It does have a long cord, however, for when you want to run independent of the battery. And it’s light enough to carry around while using it.

If it had just a little more suction, I’d rate it 5 stars.

4 Stars useful
It’s a smaller shop vac that works well with plenty of vacuum to pick up wood chips and other bits around the work site. The unit is very solid plastic but not too heavy to carry while using. The hose has a nice, substantial, rubbery feel. It is very flexible and can get clogged but it is easy to clear by straightening. The 18V battery gives power for long enough to be useful, though I only used it with the battery a few times. It is a little noisy, but not too bad.

5 Stars Great unit
This mini shop vac works perfectly for vacuuming out the car and getting into places a full-sized unit won’t fit. Suction is great and battery life seems reasonable. Great value.

5 Stars Great tool for tile repair jobs
I have been using this tool for about 2 years.

At the shopping mall where i work we do ceramic tile repairs every week.

This is the best tool we have found for cleanup, it gets all the small fragments and dust out of the mortar bed.

Light weight, good suction.Dewalt quality construction, repeat that to yourself

Dewalt quality construction.

This is not some cheaply made piece of crap.

Before buying one of these we had to use a much larger and bulkier vac.

I decided to try a small portable unit, we first tried a black and decker portable. I couldn’t even give that one away.

We use this for a variety of small jobs and havent been disapointed in it’s performance

1 Star Can’t figure out whether to say it sucks or doesn’t suck.
I had occasion to use my DeWalt portable vacuum the other day to clean some concrete dust out of my car. It works, and is better than nothing, but I’m thinking for $100.00 think of how many times I could go to the do-it-yourself carewash and use the powerful vacuums there that really work. I have had it for several years now, and I rarely use it because I know it simply will not do the job.

What a real vacuum, or shop-vac would do in seconds, it took me many minutes to do with this vacuum. I have to say that I am not happy that I bought it. At the time I thought it was the perfect solution for my car and portable cleaning, but under battery power the device is even less powerful than when the cord is plugged in.

It is handy, and it better than some of the cheap vaccums you can buy for your car, but the thing is, this appliance does not do the job. This is a product that really should not exist. It costs a lot of money and it does not work like a good expensive vacuum cleaner should, it just doesn’t.

I’m very disappointed and would not buy this or anything like it again.
