Batteries and accessories

If you’ve had a cordless tool set for a few years, your batteries could be wearing out and need replacing.

• A four-pack of 20-volt DeWalt batteries is on sale for $149, 54% off its regular price. The set includes two 2-amp-hour batteries and two 4-amp-hour batteries, but no charger, so this is only a good deal if you already have a DeWalt set.
