20V MAX XR Battery, Lithium Ion, 5.0Ah (DCB205)

It works perfectly. Takes a full charge and lasts a long time.

Based on a few reviews I was worried that this was not the real deal but it is a genuine Dewalt battery with it's nice heavy weight and durable feeling and labeling that all matches my other batteries. The price is pretty steep for these but I prefer to have a Mix of real ones and third party ones on hand when doing Jobs. I know this one will last because all of my DeWalt batteries have lasted for years. About my only Gripe is that it comes with barely any charge in it. The last LED was barely lit so I made sure to charge is as soon as it came. I am going to run a capacity test on it soon and will get back and update this review.

Great Dewalt battery. Will not charge with an off brand charger so I had to buy a Dewalt charger.

Great battery; purchased to go with a Dewalt portable air compressor. Holds a charge for a long time; works great with the compressor.

Works great however I found out why they keep failing, when using this battery it has a indicator of charge if it's fully charged it has three illuminated dots. If you want this battery to last and not have to buy another one, when two of the dots have been dimmed from the amount of use stop there and recharge your battery after it cools down. Using this battery until it stops on its own shortens the life dramatically. I use this on my weedeater and of course only using two of the three dots the runtime is shorter however charging at that point Will make the battery last a long long time.

Battery was delivered completely dead. This is bad for battery health. However, it charged up completely fine and seems to hold a charge. There are a lot of visual differences inside and out. Some good, some bad. Here are a few I noticed between my old 2019 battery and the new battery... New 2025 Battery Green battery cells Regular T10 screws Silver battery contacts Cells from Malaysia Assembled in Mexico QR Code results in product not found. 3" width 4.25" long 2.5" tall Old 2019 Battery Red battery cells TR10 screws (tamper resistant) Yellow battery contacts Cells from Korea Assembled in China No QR code 2-7/8" width 4-3/8" long 2.5" tall They changed the design quite a bit. The QR code on the new battery didn't work for me. DeWalt website says, "Product not found." The battery looks legit but I have no idea. At least it has a control board inside - most counterfeit batteries don't. I also compared the insides to pics of other legit batteries I found online. So I'm mostly confident this is a real Dewalt battery. I was able to register the battery with DeWalt, quick and easy. It comes with a 3 year warranty so hopefully they cover whatever issues I have, if any, in the near future.

Doesnt say XR on the label but work just as well. Picks up grinder, blower, and sawsall pretty well. Cheaper than the xr and they run abput the same battery time

Long lasting and it replaced my previous battery.

Awesome product

Makita batteries are very good but rather expensive just like Makita

Its not charging

Excelente producto

Charges to 100%. Good product. Have two others dated manufacture 2016 and these still perform and hold their charge. So would expect this one will last as well as these old ones.
