Confirming battery type; I can use the 18v XRP, correct? I see confirmation of 18v but wasn't sure if there was a difference between xrp and regular?

Yes, that's the longer run-time version of the Ni-Cd battery. I used to use those and they work in the vac. I've switched everything over to the Li-ion batteries and couldn't be happier. My only complaint is that my Dewalt site laser and sawzall won't accept the new Li batteries. Who dropped the ball on that?

Yes you and use both batteries. XRP just gives you a little more runtime. Continues runtime they're about the same, but use and stop and use over time the XRP tends to last longer unless its under 35° weather then you just get 10 min runtime.

You CAN use the 18v XRP in the DC500. I use one in mine. It's a great vac, I'm on my second one, I wore the first one out!

Mine are the compact lithium. They work well just don't last as long as I would have hoped. I should have got the full size lithium or the XRP.

I've had luck with Alibaba Express (which takes credit cards, unlike regular Alibaba which requires TT or wire-transfer). I got a 48v LiFePO4 20ah for cheaper than what I was seeing in the US (even including the shipping from China). So far it has worked well and hasn't started anything on fire. Ali-express is similar to ebay, so don't buy from a seller without many reviews. If you get LiFePO4, you need a specialty LiPo charger (it senses voltage level of the battery and turns itself off).

Robert, I don't think so and here's why, there are two settings for battery types. The one you might be interested in shows a large N followed by small D T R K. That's all I can tell you as my paper work is long gone. But... I's think Sony could tell you for sure.

the xrp are the better batteries. i believe these are the best lithium 18v they make.

Oops, I have 3 different type. You are correct our takes a fat barrel type of battery. Quick I still don't have a charger for but still be looking into one.

The Batteries work pretty much as advertized. However I have never had electric tools with 18v before so I can't give you a direct comparison.

As far as I am aware all 18v is interchangable the ion batteries also work on the older xrp dewalt hear also I have a number of dreamt gear and batteries interchange with it all also 4 different drills

Any of the 20V Max products. XR just has extra capacity, but it's the same size as the regular 20V Max lithium stuff. These extra capacity batteries with the efficient brushless motors is a pretty sweet combo.

Any Dewalt 18v can work in any Dewalt 18v. The only difference is the charging. A li-ion dewalt battery will fit any 18 v dewalt tool but it will not charge in a ni-cd charger and needs a li-ion charger to be recharged. Xrp - ni-cd batteries can be charged in li-ion chargers.

All I have is ni-cad but I looked at the X.R.P 18VOLT LI-lon online and it looks like the same hook up. So I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Don't use regular battery's I tried every single kind and it didn't work but I tried a couple rechargeable battery's and it worked decent. Try the rechargable battery's of your choice. Hope this helps.

I don't know only have 18V and am completely satisfied with battery life, power and performance of unit. I have purchased 3 more units as gifts

Bear in mind that if you take this battery below 8.5 v you will damage the battery and void the warranty. I would suggest giving yourself a safety margin of a larger battery so that you don't run the risk of inadvertently damaging it. The BTL35A480C has a Pb Eq of 26~35Ah and has the biggest saving over MRSP of $64 if you purchase from Amazon. Be sure to get the correct charger.

I am not sure if I understand the issue correctly? At website of the product it says, "...and lithium AA batteries cannot be used with this product" and "Power Supply: 4xAA type lithium batteries(sold separately)". I am confused...Can we use lithium batteries on S1800 or not?

i am a little confused as to your question because every day you are a day further from the experation date. however i have found these batteries are hard to find but when charged and fresh they work much better than the 18v which will work in the same style of weed whacker.

I believe it is. The DC 9091 XRP has a body that is a little thicker, and it has a longer battery life per charge. Because of the size difference, it is difficult to close the drill case. I use the old battery in the drill, and keep the XRP battery in the spare battery case compartment.
