The 18V 5Ah POWERSTACK Battery delivers:

• 50% more power
• 50% more work per charge
• 2X lifespan

The DCBP518 DEWALT POWERSTACK 18V 5Ah Battery is compatible with all DEWALT 18V XR tools and chargers.

“As the world’s first major power tool brand to use pouch cell battery technology, DEWALT yet again brings leading-edge cordless innovation to the construction industry with the growth of the DEWALT POWERSTACK 18V XR platform,” said Allison Nicolaidis, President, Power Tools Group, Stanley Black & Decker.
“Pouch technology is crucial to driving the cordless jobsite of the future. The 5Ah POWERSTACK battery reflects DEWALT’s commitment to ushering our users into the next frontier of performance and productivity, and our passion for powering the pros that help make our world.”

See how the DEWALT POWERSTACK battery compares to the XR battery

Jamie Wilson, DEWALT Product Training Manager, put the new 18V 5Ah POWERSTACK battery to the test. In the video blow, Jamie ran two speed tests using the DEWALT DCD999 18V XR Premium Combi Drill to test how POWERSTACK compares with the traditional DCB184 18V 5Ah cylindrical cell batteries.

“It’s the combination of higher voltage and higher currents that mean that the drill has the power to maintain its speed in application and to break through the material, even when using a large diameter bit. This means that with a POWERSTACK battery you can complete more applications, more quickly than with an equivalent cylindrical cell battery.” – Jamie Wilson
