Does this combo use the more powerful, longer lasting XRP batteries

No. The impact and drill are excellent! When these batteries go bad I will replace the with the xrp batteries.

The TWO batteries provided with my kit are each marked only as "DeWalt 18V, Type 1, Ni-Cd". No XRP notation anywhere on the batteries. Looks like standard issue to me. :)

"NO" the smaller less powerful batteries and not! impressed by the smaller ones, but both the driver and drill work fine.

THe DCB 201 batteries should work in the Dewalt DCS355b tool, but the batteries wont run as long as the xR batteries, I use the DCB 201 batteries as my back up batteries!

Yes, I tried it with the circular saw, reciprocating saw, and cordless drills and no problem. I'm not sure they have the capacity to hold its charge as long as the xrp which came with the kit, but I have been using these new batteries for a couple of month and they seem to be holding up fine.

Dewalt has 2 battery types for some of their 20volt Max system tools and label the differences with the letters C, L, D and M for the sets. The tool alone has a B designation. The regular Lithium Ion batteries are labeled C (1.5Ah) and L (3.0Ah). The XR batteries (33% more capacity) are D (2.0Ah) and L (4.0Ah). I own the DCF895C2 set and it is an outstanding tool. Also you need to consider the weight of the battery. The 1.5Ah and 2.0Ah weight 0.8 pound. The 3.0Ah and 4.0Ah weight about 1.4 pounds each. Take into consideration the fatigue factor with the heavier batteries. Dewalt now has a 5.0Ah battery at the same weight as the 3.0 and 4.0. You have a lot to consider with the 20 volt tool system. I am happy with each one I won.

they both work. The only difference is the XR which means extended run time. The regular ones usually come with the tool, but the XR is preferable. They really do last longer and have more power. My favorite cordless drill is discontinued, and have worn out multiple batteries over the years, but drill is still going.

Yes, the DC9096-2 XRP batteries are interchangeable with the DC9099 batteries

Yes. One XRP battery, battery charger and a nice case. You will need some blades for it though. They offer both metal and wood cutting blades of different lengths. Amazon offers a variety package of blades that has a nifty yellow storage case to hold your blades. Storage case fits nicely inside your saw case. Nice starter package! I use my saw all the tome for trimming small branches of trees and potential firewood.

Per the listed info and the charger label customer photo, NO. This is a NiMH and NiCad charger which can also partially revive alkaline batteries which I have almost given up using due to their well known leakage issues and lousy high current capability. Use alkalines in a $100+ high power flashlight, NO WAY! Unless a charger specifically Lists the ability to charge Lithium Ion batteries then it will not do so. Their high voltages and wide ranging chemistries mean that only a few specific chargers can even handle all commonly available versions of Lithium Ion cells. The XTAR VP2 charger can handle almost all Lithium Ion chemistries and voltages but is not NiMH & NiCad compatible.

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!

I already had Dewalt 18 volt XRP NiCAD batteries and charger for other tools so I only needed the drill. The battery mount is also smaller to fit better with the smaller but more powerful Lithium batteries in case you ever want to use lithium batteries.

I couldn't figure out the difference either, but with the price of the batteries, I didn't want to take any chances. The XCP batteries said to get the 2021 and they seem to be far better batteries, so it is worth buying that charger.

yes, and the VersaPak Gold batteries (NiMH) will last longer than the Silver (NiCd). I'm not even sure if the latter are still available.

I tend to use Duracell batteries in devices that use alkaline simply because my experience has been that they seem to last longer than others. I don't know if there is a scientific reason to use one brand over another in any specific device.

These lithium will work on the older NiCd. 18V. XRP. Tools. They will give you much more battery life.

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.

No. The xrp is a newer, slimmer battery. To me personally they bath work the same and they can fit the same tools the xrp is just a little lighter.

I'm digging thru old email. Everybody got this correct. I have the saw and both compact and XRP Li batteries.
