jebechols Posted October 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Will the new compact li-ion battery fit in the 18V XRP tools similar to the current li-ion batteries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerogt01 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Yes it will. All 18v tools (minus certain exceptions) will fit all 18v batteries. Update: Already a price tag up at my local HD for the compact 18v li-ion drill kit. $219 I can't wait till it arrives!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanxrus Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Looks like TOOLUP has the DCK265L already for sale on their website. $279. The impact DC825 is $279 by itself with 2 DC9096 XRP NiCd batteries. Yes it will. All 18v tools (minus certain exceptions) will fit all 18v batteries. Update: Already a price tag up at my local HD for the compact 18v li-ion drill kit. $219 I can't wait till it arrives!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerogt01 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Wow. They're really hitting a good price point with their new Li-Ion stuff so far. Too bad ToolUp is still out of stock. Do you know if there's any difference between the DCF826 included in the DCK265L shown in the linky and the standard DC825? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanxrus Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 The Dewalt DC825, DC827, and DCF826 are all the same tool. However the older DC825's had a NiCd footprint. So currently the three impact drivers only have a different model to distinguish what battery comes in the kit. DC825KA - XRP DC9096 NiCd batteries DC827KL - XRP Lithium Ion batteries DCF826KL - Compact Lithium Ion Batteries This is probably why Dewalt only offers the DC825B as a bare tool in the bare tool program.

picrthis Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 toolup currently has the drill & the combo kit in-stock, hurry they keep running out very quickly; my kits arrived yesterday & today. I noticed they were out of stock most all week, but now there back in-stock right now. As for prices they seemed to be priced at the same price level that Home Depot & Lowes carries them for. Only real difference is none of the large box stores have them yet (soon) plus in most cases no sales tax and free ground shipping. So you can get them now instead of waiting and save a couple of $$ on tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
