DEWALT XR battery platform.

A battery from the DEWALT XR 18V battery platform fits on all the DEWALT 18V (garden) tools. Use the battery on your drill first and then on your string trimmer, for example. You can save money and space, because you don't need different batteries. In this article, we'll explain all advantages.

DEWALT has 2 types of batteries: XR and POWERSTACK. A POWERSTACK battery is 50% more powerful than an XR battery. It also remains cooler thanks to the stacked cells. This is important, because heat damages the battery. Thanks to the better cooling, you can work 50% longer on 1 charge and the battery lasts longer.
