In this video, I compare three popular DeWalt 18V batteries head-to-head:

⚡ DeWalt PowerStack 1.7Ah (Compact)
⚡ DeWalt XR 5.0Ah (Classic)
⚡ DeWalt PowerStack 5.0Ah (Premium)

We’ll weigh them, go over the specs, discuss the differences, and test how they perform in terms of power delivery. Finally, I’ll share my thoughts on which battery might be best for you depending on your needs.

⚠️ Big thanks to Sterling Power Tools (sterlingpowertools.co.uk/) and DeWalt UK for providing these batteries for review!

⚠️ Note: Everything in this video is my own personal opinion. The fact that these batteries were provided for testing has no influence on my review — I treat them the same as if I had purchased them myself.
