Owning a collection of cordless power tools can prepare you for all types of projects, whether it’s assembling furniture or renovating a bathroom. But having an extensive toolbox demands some considerations, like making sure you have enough reliable batteries to keep those power tools running. That’s why we recommend you pick up a few extras—few things are inconvenient like running out of juice in the middle of a job is. Good news if you’re a DeWalt owner (or looking to buy into the brand’s system of tools): Amazon is offering 49 percent off the DeWalt 20-Volt Max 3.0-Ah Battery Pack with Charger.

The sale saves you more than $80 on this bundle—money you can put toward other tools, like the brand’s compatible 20-Volt Max Cordless Drill-Driver, also on sale. If you’re new to the 20-Volt Max system, this battery (and other 20-volt batteries of various capacities) works with over 300 of DeWalt’s tools, from cordless drills to impact wrenches to circular saws.

DeWalt’s 20-Volt Max batteries boast two features that stand out: no memory effect and low discharge. That essentially means these batteries don’t need to be fully discharged before recharging. Older nickel-cadmium batteries suffered from a “memory effect,” in which they would “remember” the smaller capacity if they weren’t fully empty before you threw them on the charger, reducing their capacity over time. You can top off DeWalt’s batteries at any point, no matter how much juice they have left. And low discharge refers to the rate at which a battery loses its charge when it’s not in use. That means you’re less likely to run into the issue where you pick up a battery you last used a while ago and it’s dead.

While DeWalt doesn’t provide an estimated runtime for this battery, you should anticipate roughly an hour of continuous use. The exact runtime of a battery depends on multiple factors, including each tool’s efficiency and power consumption. That said, a 3.0-amp-hour (Ah) battery is suitable for lighter tasks, like drilling, offering a good balance of power and weight. In addition to the battery, your purchase comes with a charger, so you don’t have to buy anything separately.

At 49 percent off, the DeWalt 20-Volt Max 3.0-Ah Battery Pack with Charger is excellent to have on hand, whether you have an arsenal of tools or are just starting to build your toolkit.
