I have this drill however the battery doesn't work in my LXT cordless saw. Doesn't this have a LXT battery?

the 1.5Ah batteries will not work in the heavy amp draw tools. You need the Makita 3.0ah battery (longer run time; bigger "gas tank") The 3.0ah battery will fit both your saw and your drill. The smaller battery will only fit the drill....hope this helps

It does have an LXT battery. Along with the battery is the battery chargera, remove the battery from the cordless saw and slide it into the charger and let it charge for maybe 20 to 24 hours. If this doesnt work, the LXT battery might be defective

I not completely sure. As I understand it, the battery design is different. Here is a link to a couple answers on the same subject : https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20140101152447AAlHFopBottom line, contact Dewalt and ask them.

Hey Chris , the battery did not for my drill. I just leave the charges battery in the drill. Not sure if this is correct.

I really don't know. My kit didn't include the advertised drills: the 18V LXT 1/2" Hammer Driver-Drill (BHP454) is actually an LXPH03, and the 18V LXT Impact Driver (BTD141) is in fact an LXDT04.But, I'm more than happy with what I received, by the way.Another user said that the advertised combination was being phased out, and that Amazon held stocks of both the old and the new combination.Sorry I can't help more.jjj

The battery is a DC9098, 18 volt. My drill will accomodate both the NI-Cad and Lithium Ion batteries. As far as the problem with the chuck which I mentioned about 2 years ago, it has resolved itself. Why it was not working for a week or two I do not know, but now works just fine.

As the others have already answered, yes, they both use the very same battery, mine came with two batteries, and the saw will go thru batteries far quicker than the drill, which lasts a very long time. I also paid $89.99 for mine over three years ago. This current price of $125 is high. Look around for a better deal OR a newer version of this older model.

Yes, the LXT batteries are compatible. And the saw is great. I use it much more than the one it replaced.

It looks like the LXT 248 has an updated driver. I too get a little wobble from the chuck head from the driver in my LXT 239 set like Soybomb said in their answer. But, it took fell about 15 feet off a ladder onto gravel which caused the problem. Otherwise, it still works fine. I just have to use a screw setter more often when I'm setting longer screws. I've never had a cut out occur from either of the drills.

I talked with someone who informed me that the batteries with xl were longer lasting. The picture shown looks like my battery. Get one and see if it fits. Or go on the dewalt website and see if there is a matching number.

I bought the 20 volt B & D drill kit from Tyler Tool. It came with the battery and charger. That's when I decided to see if I could find the saw to match. I love the whole set. Works great. And you can get batteries here on Amazon. Don't know about the charger.

The short answer is yes. Milwaukee has two 18v batteries, a light duty and larger Extra Capacity (xc) battery. The xc battery will work on all Milwaukee cordless tools, but the standard (or light duty) will only work on the drills and impact drivers. The light duty batteries have an extra "fin" on the case that does not allow insertion into the larger tools such as the saw and sawzall. You can remove the "fin" with a rotary tool and use in the saw but you will not get the same performance from the battery, will not last as long and will need to be recharged more often. I have the saw and love it, it takes a lot for me to get out my old corded saw now.

it requires the makita li-on 3 amp battery. great workhorse of a drill. ive not tried off brand batteries. i get 2-4 years a battery with 3 plus times use a week

If it's a milwakee battery configured to fit the newer style lithum tools it should work fine. I assume the "XC" is the bigger 2 hour type battery, dont remember... I would not use this saw without the bigger battery. With a sharp blade it is a great little saw for weekender type projects. Have a spare battery handy.

yes - I own a lot of DeWalt cordless tools that use the same battery. I just bought a 2pack at Lowe's for about $100.00 - you only need one charger. This is the only DeWalt tool I have had a negative comment on. Do not like it!

I presume that this is a replacement or additional battery for your tool(s.) If it is, then it slides on the charger just like your original batteries. If there seems to be a problem, I would first see if it fits onto your tool. My battery came with some charge in it and the tool worked with the battery right out of the box. If the battery does not fit your tool, then you have a more basic problem and you can be glad that Amazon is so quick in resolving these types of issues.
