These compact batteries are great but be advised that it will not fit on the drill or impact driver if you have the belt clips installed. Easy as removing one screw but just thought I'd point that out.
Unfortunately being on Slickdeals and buying things like an idiot are not mutually exclusive. I'd estimate a good 50-60% of my purchases here have been idiotic. Once I bought a miter saw stand, and I don't even own a miter saw
I'm not seeing much value in this combo.

If it had (2) 4ah batteries, maybe.

The 'newer' battery is not some special deal.

Read about battery cell size here:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/sci...5320309186

21700 cells do have better energy density than 18650 ones..theoretically 6%. In the real world its about 2%. That 2% matters when you are packing thousands of cells into an EV. For about a dozen in a tool battery pack? Meh.

Don't get fooled by a battery pack being shorter. Its also wider and deeper. Maybe you like the dimensional change. It does make a tool stand on end better. That's fine. Personally, I'm indifferent. Give me the most amp-hours for the least money.

Cell QUALITY is what really matters, not cell size.

Manufacturers can introduce other improvements in newer battery packs (better cooling, security features, displays, whatever) and those might be worth paying for..

Just don't confuse a larger cell size with automatically being a better choice.

DCB240 has 21700 battery cell technology vs the old 18650 battery cell. The 4.0 amp battery has 80-watt hours of output.
https://www.dewalt.com/products/a...ery/dcb240

18650: 3.14(9 x 9)(65) = 16,532 cubic mm
21700: 3.14(10.5 x 10.5)(70) = 24,233 cubic mm (47% more volume)

Anyone found any coupons to sweeten this deal? Sales tax of 9.75% hurts.

Dewalt actually has a newer belt clip that fits these newer batteries. I have an older dcd780 woth the old belt clip and a dcd999 with the new belt clip. the dcd780 wont accept the 6ah or this new 4ah

I was able to get this saw as a bare tool (DCS369B) from Amazon for $105.xx, not sure that the battery and charger are worth another $54.xx for me, not to mention I don't actually have to drive 27 miles to the closest Ace Hardware.

Or just bend the clip slightly and it'll clear
