## Summary

An 18V XR battery built from stacked lithium-ion pouch cells instead of cylindrical cells. DeWalt rates it at 50% more power and twice the lifespan of the DCB184 5 Ah pack, in a shorter and lighter body.

## Why this one

- **Pouch-cell design**: Shorter and lighter than a cylindrical 5 Ah pack.
- **50% more power**: Compared with the DCB184 5 Ah battery, per DeWalt.
- **Pack ID boost**: Unlocks extra output in tools like the DCD1007.
- **3-year eligible**: Covered by the registration warranty extension.

## The story

### Different cells, better pack

Most 18V batteries use cylindrical cells. POWERSTACK stacks flat pouch cells, which lets DeWalt build a 5.0 Ah pack that is shorter and lighter, at 0.75 kg, while delivering more current. Against the DCB184 cylindrical 5 Ah battery, DeWalt quotes 50% more power and twice as many charge cycles.

### Unlocks more from Pack ID tools

Tools with Pack ID, such as the DCD1007 hammer drill driver, recognise a POWERSTACK battery and raise their output. In any other 18V XR tool it simply fits as a normal pack, with a lower profile that improves balance in drills and drivers.

### Built for knocks

A rubber overmoulded base resists impact, and a three-LED gauge shows remaining charge. It fits every DeWalt 18V XR tool and charger. Unlike other DeWalt batteries, POWERSTACK packs qualify for the three-year warranty extension when registered within four weeks of purchase.
