These batteries are fantastic. Weighing in at just about what the 12V Nicad XRPs are, these batteries are a ergonomic dream come true. Add to that:
No Memory
No Charging Regemin (just don't let them fully discharge, but you can charge whenever and how often you like)
5-7 years shelf life
Fantastic.
DeWalt is now transitioning their tool line to what is called the Nano base - meaning these Nano batteries fit the tool like a glove but the Nano base will also take the older NiCad XRP batteries as well.
To those that are complaining that their older 18V tool's base does not match these new batteries perfectly - hey you have a older tool. You should be thrilled that these batteries work w/ your old tool at all. Its a testiment to DeWalt's support of their older products that these new batteries attach and continue to power older tools. It may not look perfect, but hey at least DeWalt isn't making you run out and buy a whole new set of tools. DeWalt stands by their product and their customers.
In short, these batteries are awesome. If you pick up a DeWalt lithium tool kit, the tool will have the Nano base and the battery fit will be seamless. If you have a older tool, the battery will fit and power the tool but it will be smaller than the base on the tool.
Not everybody has enough cash to keep buying new tools every time a new technology comes out. Be happy you can run your old stuff on the new batteries and take comfort that the new kits fit as expected.
