If your DeWalt tools keep sharing one battery, the DCB205-2C starter kit adds two 5Ah packs and a charger without another tool to store. The jigsaw pictured above is sold separately.

Our cordless power-tool starter-workshop guide included a seven-tool DeWalt set with just one 5Ah battery.

Two packs and a charger

Leave a pack on each of two compatible tools instead of moving the same one between them, or charge one while using the other. Each battery has an LED state-of-charge indicator, so you can check which pack needs charging before starting the next job.

These batteries are compatible with DeWalt 20V MAX tools and chargers. The 20V MAX name refers to maximum initial voltage without a workload; nominal voltage is 18V.

Match the kit before ordering

The linked Amazon listing is model DCB205-2C. Check the selected seller and current price before ordering: the listing also has used offers, and a battery-only two-pack is a different package.

If you only need batteries and already have enough chargers, compare the battery-only option before paying for another charger.
