Recently, I decided it was time to add to/upgrade my existing DeWalt cordless impact driver and corded drill (both of which have served me faithfully for years) and add a couple more tools to the DIY arsenal, so I purchased this combo kit off Amazon. When the kit arrived, I promptly opened up the packaging to make sure everything was as it should be. To my surprise and great disappointment, one of the 20v batteries (DCB203) included would not fully charge (even though the charger indicated–by solid red light–that it, in fact, was fully charged. This battery only showed a single green light and would not budge, despite over an hour of charging. Just to make sure, I checked the other included battery (which showed two green lights–progress!) and plugged it into the charger and–voila–the charger immediately began flashing red continuously for a little under the hour it took to fully charge up. Sure enough, when I removed the 2nd battery from the charger and pressed its indicator, it showed three green lights as it should.
Figuring I just received a bad battery, I contacted Amazon which, instead of simply sending me a replacement battery, oddly sent me an entirely new combo kit, which I received today. Unfortunately, the batteries included in the new combo kit have the same problem (regardless of which charger I use). In fact, these new ones may be worse. Once more, the charger shows a solid red light on both, however, the battery indicator on one shows (again) a single green light, while the other only shows only two green lights.
Rather than go back again to Amazon, I figure four total lights is better than three and that this may be something I’m going to have to live with. am wondering if perhaps there is a bad batch that DeWalt sent out of the plant in Mexico, or if I am just an idiot and doing something wrong? Other than that, everything else seemed to be in order and the combo kit is great and I look very forward to using them for many years to come. It is just more than a little disappointing that such an integral part to the whole set does not appear to be living up to the DeWalt reputation.
Great tools!,
At the right price a great deal,
– -The delivery time was amazing. I believe under three days which tells me that it was at a local warehouse.
Condition of Contents – âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸
– – The bag and its contents appeared rummaged through and put back together poorly. The products themselves appeared in New working condition.
The product âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸ 1/2
– – iâm a big guy- 6 foot five, 250 pounds, Iâd like my tools to have a little weight – which in my mind equates to durability. I had a Dewalt 36 V drill with a reciprocating saw – With those tools in your hands, you knew they were going to get the job done and do it for many years. I got 12 years out of the battery. The tools themselves are still in good working condition, but I canât justify the price of replacing the battery given their age.
The new product âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸ 1/2
Depending on oneâs mentality, the light weight feel of this product can be interpreted as a plus or minus.
Price for this product (at the time) I felt was pretty damn good, If you considered purchasing these products individually.
– -Individually the body of the products havenât done anything that I would consider disappointing.
Batteries âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸
Now I am a bit spoiled, I had a 36 V that in my mind rarely left me wanting more. As a result, theses new batteries individually leave me wanting . But when you take into consideration the fact that you have two of them and how fast they charge – One could consider it a trade off when factoring in the overall price.
– – good or bad I will do my best to update you on my total satisfaction of this product in the future.
