Why We Love This Deal
If there's one thing that's potentially more important than having the right DeWalt power tool for the job, it's having the right DeWalt battery to match. Right now, DeWalt’s lightweight 20V battery—perfect for the brand’s smaller handheld 20V tools and those that require extra precision (think saws and drills)—is marked down to below $30.
The DeWalt 20V Max 2.0Ah DCB203 Battery is just $29 at Walmart. This is the best price Men's Journal could find online—even lower than Lowe’s and The Home Depot, which are selling it for around $100. Oddly, buying the battery as a single right now is even more affordable than the two-pack battery set. The fact that it ships free is simply icing on the cake.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Weight: 1 pound
- Capacity: 2.0 Ah
- Compatible With: All DeWalt 20V tools
- Best Use Case: While you can use this with any DeWalt 20V tool, it is best paired with smaller tools.
This is an extremely lightweight DeWalt battery. At just 1 pound, you’ll notice a huge difference when using the battery with some tools. For example, the drill in DeWalt’s popular drill driver kit weighs under 3 pounds, so every ounce drastically changes the ease of lining up a drill line. Plus, it is by far slimmer than any other DeWalt battery you’re going to encounter, making previously unreachable nooks and crannies now reachable.
The joy of using this battery comes from pairing it with the right equipment. As a 2.0Ah battery, energy hogs like the brand’s 20V vacuum will deplete this battery and are better served by a 5.0Ah or even an 8.0Ah battery. Instead, use this battery for your drills, drivers, and small hand tools, and you’ll see that a lot of power comes from the battery’s small size.

What Shoppers Are Saying
Even though the batteries are only 2.0Ah, shoppers who use them properly find that they’re plenty powerful. As one user said, the “power seems to last long enough for me, and they charge pretty fast.” They also mentioned that the “batteries are lightweight and I can get into tighter working areas”, which is a pretty typical user experience.
The DeWalt 20V Max 2.0Ah DCB203 Battery is just $29 with free shipping if you buy at Walmart right now—just don't count on this price being around forever.
