Advantages of the FLEXVOLT 9.0 Ah 2-Pack Battery Pack

Substantial savings and maximum productivity

By purchasing this 2-pack of batteries, you benefit from better value for money compared to buying individual units. You also have a spare battery always available, eliminating costly downtime on your worksites.

Unparalleled professional autonomy

With 360 watt-hours of total available power, this pack ensures a full day of intensive work without recharging. Rotating between two batteries allows for continuous use while the other recharges, optimizing your operational efficiency.

Revolutionary dual-voltage versatility

The unique FLEXVOLT technology transforms these batteries into a universal power source for all your Dewalt tools. Use them on 20V drills in the morning, then switch to a 60V circular saw in the afternoon without changing batteries. This flexibility eliminates the need to carry multiple battery types around the job site.

Sustainable and reliable investment

Backed by Dewalt's comprehensive 3-year warranty, these high-capacity batteries represent a long-term investment. Their premium construction and advanced cooling technology ensure consistent performance even after hundreds of charge cycles.

First Use

Optimal activation of your new FLEXVOLT 9.0 Ah batteries:

1. Full initial charge

Install each new battery on a compatible Dewalt 20V MAX charger before first use. Allow it to charge fully until the green LED indicator turns off, typically 90 to 180 minutes depending on the charger. This initial charge calibrates the lithium-ion cells and activates the internal electronic management system for optimal performance.

2. Pre-use visual inspection

Inspect each battery to ensure no damage has occurred during shipping. Check that the metal contacts are clean and free of debris, that the casing is free of cracks, and that the LED indicator is working correctly by pressing the test button.

3. Tool compatibility test

Install the charged battery in one of your Dewalt 20V or 60V MAX tools to confirm proper operation. The battery should click securely into place. Test the tool briefly to verify that power is delivered normally and that the tool's LED indicator lights up.

4. Recommended break-in period during the first week

During the first 5 charge/discharge cycles, avoid completely draining the batteries to the point where the tool shuts off. Instead, recharge when the LED indicator shows 1 bar remaining. This gradual break-in optimizes the internal chemistry of the lithium-ion cells to maximize their lifespan.

Regular Maintenance

To maximize the lifespan of your FLEXVOLT 9.0 Ah batteries:

After each use:

• Remove the battery from the tool and wipe the metal contacts with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris
• Check the LED indicator to assess the remaining charge and plan a recharge if necessary.
• Store the batteries in a dry place at room temperature, never on the charger when fully charged.
• Avoid leaving batteries exposed to direct sunlight or in a hot vehicle during the summer.

Optimal load management:

• Recharge the batteries as soon as the LED indicator shows 1 bar to avoid excessive deep discharge
• Never leave a battery completely discharged for more than 24 hours without recharging it.
• Use only genuine Dewalt 20V MAX chargers to ensure balanced and safe charging
• Regularly alternate between your two batteries to balance the charging cycles and extend their lifespan.

Rotation and inspection recommended:

• Inspect the batteries monthly for any swelling, cracking, or deformation.
• Clean the metal contacts every 15 days in dusty environments with isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab.
• Periodically test the operation of the LED indicator to ensure its reliability.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Deep monthly cleaning:

1. Electrical contacts

Clean the four metal contacts of each battery with a cotton swab moistened with 99% isopropyl alcohol. Gently rub to remove oxidation, grease residue, or embedded dust. Allow to dry completely for 5 minutes before use. Avoid water, WD-40, or harsh solvents that can damage electronic components.

2. External casing

Wipe the plastic casing with a damp, slightly soapy cloth to remove any accumulated dirt, oil, and debris. Pay particular attention to the side ventilation grooves where dust tends to collect. Dry immediately with a dry cloth. Never immerse the battery in water or use a high-pressure washer.

3. LED indicator button and grip areas

Clean the LED button and textured side areas with a dry, soft toothbrush to remove any embedded debris. Then wipe with a damp cloth. These areas tend to accumulate sawdust, concrete dust, and hand oils, which reduce grip.

4. Locking mechanism

Inspect and clean the side locking tabs with a dry cotton swab. Remove any debris that prevents them from fully engaging on the tools. Never lubricate these mechanisms, as lubricants attract dust and can compromise electrical connections.

Precautions for Use

For your safety:

• Never attempt to open, disassemble, or repair a FLEXVOLT battery yourself; risk of explosion or fire. Only authorized Dewalt service centers may perform in-house repairs.
• Avoid any violent shock, drops from a height greater than 1 meter, or crushing of the battery. Severe impact can damage internal cells and cause a dangerous short circuit, even without any visible external signs.
• Never expose batteries to extreme temperatures above 50°C or below -20°C during storage. Excessive heat accelerates chemical degradation, while extreme cold can crack the casing.
• Never store lithium-ion batteries near flammable materials, heat sources, or in direct sunlight. Maintain a minimum distance of 1 meter from radiators, furnaces, or south-facing windows.
• Stop use immediately if the battery emits an unusual odor, becomes abnormally hot to the touch, leaks fluid, or shows visible swelling. Isolate the battery in a metal container outdoors and contact Dewalt service.
• Never short-circuit metal contacts with conductive objects such as keys, coins, or metal tools. A short circuit causes an extremely dangerous instantaneous discharge that can cause severe burns.

Storage Tips

Short-term storage (less than 7 days):

• Ideal temperature: 15°C to 25°C in a workshop, heated garage or basement
• Optimal charge level: Between 30% and 80% (2 LED bars) to preserve cells
• Location: Stable, flat surface, protected from excessive moisture and dust
• Distance: Minimum 30 cm from other batteries or metallic objects

Medium-term storage (1 week to 3 months):

• Charge the batteries to 50-60% (2 LED bars) before prolonged storage
• Check the charge level monthly and recharge if the indicator shows 1 bar or less.
• Store in the original carrying case or plastic box with a dust cover.
• Avoid storing in an unheated vehicle where the temperature fluctuates considerably.

Long-term (more than 3 months) and winter storage in Quebec:

• Storage charge level: 40-50% (1-2 LED bars) to minimize cell stress during inactivity
• Winter storage temperature: Between 5°C and 20°C, never in an unheated garage below -5°C
• Check frequency: Every 2 months, recharge to 50% if the charge has dropped below 30%.
• Additional protection: Place batteries in an airtight plastic bag to protect them from winter moisture.
• Returning to service after prolonged storage: Allow batteries to reach room temperature (15-20°C) for 2-3 hours before first recharging

Expected lifespan with proper storage: 1000 to 1500 complete charge cycles, or 3 to 5 years of intensive professional use or 5 to 8 years of moderate residential use.
