7.0Ah Battery Replacement for Dewalt 18V XRP Ni-Cad, Compatible with Dewalt 18 Volt DC9096 DC9098 DC9099 DC9182 DE9039 DE9095 DE9096 DE9098 DE9503 DW9095 DW9096 DW9098 Cordless Power Tools

What It Is

This is a 7.0Ah lithium-ion replacement battery for Dewalt 18V XRP Ni-Cad tools, designed to power cordless lawn mowers, trimmers, blowers, and other 18V Dewalt outdoor equipment that originally used Ni-Cad battery packs.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check that your tool uses the standard Dewalt 18V slide-on battery mount (common on XRP and older 18V Ni-Cad models). Compatible with Dewalt part numbers: DC9096, DC9098, DC9099, DC9182, DE9039, DE9095, DE9096, DE9098, DE9503, DW9095, DW9096, DW9098. This is an aftermarket battery, not OEM Dewalt. It will not work with 20V MAX or FlexVolt tools. Measure your battery compartment depth—this 7.0Ah pack is physically larger than standard Ni-Cad packs, so it may not fit in tight tool housings or some older mower battery bays.

Key Things to Know

• Chemistry change: This is lithium-ion, not Ni-Cad. Your charger must be compatible with Li-Ion (most Dewalt 18V chargers are, but check the charger label for “Li-Ion” support).
• Weight & balance: Heavier than a standard 2.0Ah Ni-Cad pack—adds noticeable weight to handheld tools.
• Performance: Higher capacity (7.0Ah) means longer runtime, but may trigger low-voltage cutoff on tools designed for Ni-Cad. If your tool suddenly stops mid-use, the battery may be tripping its protection circuit.
• No battery gauge: This pack lacks a charge-level indicator, unlike many newer Dewalt batteries.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have older Dewalt 18V Ni-Cad tools (especially lawn mowers or trimmers) and want longer runtime without buying new tools. Skip it if you need OEM reliability, have tight battery compartments, or use tools that are sensitive to lithium-ion voltage profiles—you’ll be better off with a genuine Dewalt Li-Ion or Ni-Cad pack.
