It doesn't matter if you're a contractor or a DIYer—chances are that you recognize the immense value of spare batteries. Thankfully, DeWalt makes it pretty easy to stay powered up. The tool brand is known for showcasing deals on its 20V series power tools on Amazon, including its popular oscillating multi-tool and the bestselling drill combo, among many others. But DeWalt also puts up select batteries on sale, and right now, one of its most power-packed is nearly half off.
DeWalt’s 20V Max XR 8Ah Battery is on sale for just $93—that’s 48% off the original $179 price tag. It boasts 2,100-plus five-star ratings on Amazon, and shoppers say they recommend these "very powerful" batteries for running energy-hungry tools without needing to be swapped or charged.

Whether you’re operating DeWalt's 20V Max circular saw or hammer drill, you’ll need the corresponding battery. Not all DeWalt devices come with one, making this 8Ah model a great choice to keep your energy-demanding tools up and running. It’s compatible with all the 20V Max tools (and chargers), and with its lithium-ion technology, it delivers up to one-third more run time than DeWalt’s 6Ah battery despite being the same size. This unit employs an LED charger indicator to let you know when it needs a charge, and it weighs just 2 pounds, allowing your power tools to remain wieldy while the battery is in.
“It’s large enough that you don't have to swap out batteries on your orbital sander in the middle of a job, but light enough that the tool is balanced well,” one shopper praised. “And, as always, the DeWalt-brand batteries are the way to go rather than the aftermarket ones.”
“After charging the battery as instructed, I put it to use in constructing an outside storage building,” one reviewer began. “The battery lasted all day and into the night, boring holes in concrete, fastening construction lumber, and adding a tin roof to the outdoor structure. I’ve ordered additional batteries for my construction team.”
We've seen the price of this big battery fluctuate over the past few months. That means if you want to lock in this nearly half-off pricing, you should add it to your cart ASAP.
