eddie1976 Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Do you guys trust battery sellers on ebay? Alot of them say "new battery taken from kits....". They don't come with factory packaging. http://www.ebay.com/itm/DEWALT-20V-20-Volt-Max-Lithium-Ion-Battery-2-0-AH-Packs-Model-DCB203/361568344757?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D36541%26meid%3Da09a4cd7ba434d1da4c066cc9b52cb8e%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D331675908447 How is it that these people get so many batteries out of kits? They all have good ratings, but it just seems too good to be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 I've bought quite a few batteries on eBay no issue, make sure they are us sellers and they have pictures of multiple sides. Your always taking a risk but they've always paid out for me. Lot of guys take advantage of promos and split kits up and sell it all I.e. HD holiday 150 off promo.

NicholasShetley Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 I bought a 4.0 and a 5.0 m18 battery on eBay and they work great. I agree with jimbo and they take advantage of promotions going on and sell the extra batteries. How often do you see Milwaukee running a free battery promotion?

Non-stop pretty much Also never go with knockoffs! If they are Milwaukee OEM batteries, they will have warranty if they are new and they come to you and don't work for whatever reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy MSG Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 It is pretty safe, just look at the other stuff they have for sale. If you can pick up a bare circular saw, a bare drill, a bare reciprocating saw, a bare charger or two batteries from them you can bet they are making their money parting out kits.

mtnkid85 Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 I just rolled the dice on some Ebay batteries too. Two genuine Makita BL1850-B for ~$80 a piece, so I guess we will see. I looked at the sellers feedback and he had a few good comments about the batteries he was selling so I felt good about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
