In recent weeks, we've seen less discounts on most batteries, with some stores raising prices on batteries. For example, this week we saw that Home Depot raised the price of DeWalt 4Ah battery (DCB204) by $30, while other retailers held their prices at $129.

There's promise of some deep discounts on DeWalt batteries, like this Home Depot in-store DeWalt clearance sale.

Is DeWalt releasing a new battery?

The changing in DeWalt pricing may be a sign of new product lines to come. Earlier this year, DeWalt released the XR POWERPACK 8.0Ah. This battery is part of DeWalt's XR series, featuring tabless cell technology that enhances energy flow and delivers 50% more power compared to previous models. The 8.0Ah capacity offers extended runtime, ideal for demanding jobs such as heavy-duty drilling and sawing. It also has a durable design with impact resistance and an LED charge indicator for real-time power monitoring, making it a versatile tool for professionals in the construction and trades.

The latest development from DeWalt, which wouldn't interrupt the smaller battery lines, is the DeWalt POWERSHIFT system, which powers industrial sized tools for high-power, heavy demand applications.
