Review: All Things Considered, a Great Battery - Simply put, this is a great battery. I only have two gripes with it, but it has performed well in every 20v application I have put it through. I tried to upload as many photos as I could to give you a better sense of the size including a comparison between the 1.7ah Powerstack and 5ah XR battery it replaces. Even threw in the beefy 15ah XR for good measure. These photos should also give you a better idea as to what it looks like on several tools. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pros: - More runtime: Besides the FlexVolt batteries, I've noticed a good difference in runtime between the 5ah Powerstack and 5ah XR battery. - More consistent power: There is definitely more consistent power output in this battery (1.7ah included) than all the other XR batteries. This rivals the 12ah Flexvolt FlexVolt in terms of power consistency. That is impressive. It is most noticeable when I'm using tools like the cordless heat gun. - Rubber base: Just like the 1.7ah Powerstack, the 5ah has the grippy rubber base screwed on the bottom. I don't know why DeWALT refuses to do this on other batteries besides the Powerstack line, because it reduces the chance of marring whatever surface you place it on. Pretty nice. - Larger size: Some people are opposed to this, but I see it as a benefit. Because the base of the battery is wide, it makes whatever tool it's mounted too, harder to and less likely to get knocked over. That's a problem the 1.7ah has (in my experience). Last thing I want is to knock my drill over and damage flooring or fall off a ladder. Will the overall increase in size restrict where I can fit my tool? Yes, 100%. However, it is very rare I run into this problem, and if I ever do, I can just slap in the 1.7ah and I'm good to go. Both batteries compliment each other nicely and have their uses. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Cons: - Weight: This battery is HEFTY for a 5ah. Because of how densely the power cells are packed inside, this thing weighs a lot more than I was expecting. I think this in part to how much I got used to the weight of the 1.7ah and figured the 5ah wouldn't be too off. But it is easily 3x heavier than the 1.7ah and 1.5x heavier than the 5ah XR. - Cost: Obviously, this was going to come up. As you can tell by the price (at least at the time of writing this review) these puppies cost some serious bookoo bucks. ~$210 - $220 for 1 and ~$320 - $350 for the 2-pack. That cost is insane for 5ah batteries and is more in the FlexVolt price range. As a comparison, I waited for Black Friday and got 2, 15ah FlexVolt batteries for $500 on ACME Tools. Pretty crazy these can cost almost as much as a 15ah if you're patient. For myself and my business, I can afford it and the time saved due to the power output is worth the longterm cost, so this purchase made sense to me. Time is money. But the group of people this applies to may be a little niche and not worth the cost, especially since you can easily get 2, 5ah XR batteries for $150. At the end of the day, to each their own, what makes sense to you, may not make sense to others. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Would I recommend this battery? To very few people. Is it a great battery? Absolutely.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the REAL Ah rating and/or Wh rating? I.e., printed on the battery: 20v 5Ah 100Wh. Since it runs at 18v, it is either 5Ah OR 100Wh, not both.**
A: The numbers which you quote (the numbers written on the battery) are rounded for the sake of simplicity. First, this battery has max voltage of around 20 volts (when fully charged and without the load). Its voltage changes as it discharges, it may change depending on the power drawn from the battery, and can even drop below 18 volts. Neither 5 AH nor 100 WH is correct because these are theoretical parameters for a certain discharge rate and a certain end state (you probably will not run your battery to a complete discharge, in real life). Both numbers are a ballpark estimate for the capacity, some kind of a guidance. You are right, at 5 AH at 18 volts does not add up to 100 WH. It add up to 90 WH. Oh well, a lot of marking is going on here. I suspect,  90 WH would be more correct, but why would the manufacturer state a lower number?

**Q: Do these have the fule gage  led lights system?**
A: Yes they do.Heavier than the smaller batteries.Good for the high draw tools but even with these,something like a sawzall will run them down in 20 minutes.

**Q: Can a frozen li-ion battery be charged? can a li-ion battery be charged if it is warm or hot?**
A: I have charged these batteries in freezing weather 25-32 degrees as well as today when it was 105. Keep them out of the sun while charging in summer or they will get too hot and fail to charge correctly.

**Q: What bulbs go with a DCL050 20volt light?**
A: The DCL050 bulbs are not replaceable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dewalt is Great
*by W***A on February 4, 2026*

Great buy! Bought these for my husband. Dewalt is has great batteries and are very functional. They work Great! Easy to work with.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reasonable cost, dependable battery, durable battery for most of your battery powered tools.
*by W***S on February 9, 2026*

Standaard DeWalt 5 ah battery, well built, easy to use/charge/store. On battery power meter lets you know how much battery you have left. 5 ah gives you plenty of power for most jobs and then some to spare. The size is just a little larger than a 4 ah battery, the weight is not bad, works with most Dewalt 20 volt tools. Would buy again.
