Totoplus 18V Replacement Battery for DeWALT: 18 Volt 5.0Ah XRP DC9096 Ni-Mh Batteries Compatible with DC9098 DC9099 DW9095 DW9096 DW9098 Cordless Power Tools

What It Is

This is a replacement 18V 5.0Ah Ni-Mh battery pack designed for older DeWalt XRP cordless power tools, including lawn mowers, trimmers, and blowers that originally used DC9096, DC9098, DC9099, DW9095, DW9096, or DW9098 batteries.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Check your tool’s voltage and chemistry: This battery is 18V Ni-Mh, not 20V Max or Li-ion. It will not work with newer DeWalt 20V or FlexVolt tools, nor with chargers designed only for Li-ion.
• Verify your existing battery model: Look for the model number on your old battery pack. Compatible with DC9096, DC9098, DC9099, DW9095, DW9096, DW9098. If you have a different number, it likely won’t fit.
• Physical dimensions: The battery has a standard slide-on mount. Measure your old battery’s length, width, and height to ensure it clears your tool’s battery compartment and won’t snag on handles or guards.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a third-party (Totoplus) battery, not genuine DeWalt. It may have slightly different plastic quality or tolerance. Test fit before fully inserting.
• Charger compatibility: Works with DeWalt 18V Ni-Mh chargers (e.g., DW9116, DC9310). Do not use with Li-ion-only chargers—it can damage the battery or charger.

Key Things to Know

• Capacity: 5.0Ah provides longer runtime than standard 2.0Ah packs—good for mowing medium lawns or extended trimming. Expect ~30-45 minutes of mowing on a gas-equivalent push mower.
• Installation: No tools required. Slide onto tool until latch clicks. If it doesn’t slide smoothly, check for debris or warped rails. Never force it.
• Common gotcha: Ni-Mh batteries self-discharge faster than Li-ion. Store charged and recharge every 2-3 months if not used. They also have “memory effect”—avoid fully draining every time; top off when convenient.
• Warranty: Aftermarket batteries often have shorter warranties (typically 1 year) and may not be covered by DeWalt. Check the seller’s return policy before buying.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have an older DeWalt 18V XRP lawn tool (like a mower or trimmer) and need a budget-friendly replacement for a worn-out DC9096 or similar. It offers good runtime for the price but is not a direct upgrade to Li-ion. If you want lighter weight, longer shelf life, or compatibility with newer DeWalt tools, save for a genuine 20V Max Li-ion battery and adapter.
