That's the ah price I tend to go for as well, but that becomes increasingly difficult when you get into the smaller batteries. I have NEVER seen a brand new 1.5ah battery selling for $15 on its own. If you want a compact battery, sometimes you gotta pay a bit more than $10/ah
ETA- I've gotten 2ah for $25 though, and that's a price I am willing to pay for the compact form factor

$99 sticker price is a joke. $10/ah people, don't pay any more than that.

I don't think I'd pay $15 for these demo batteries. They're good for hanging decorations with a drill. That's about it.
They any good for the nailers? I use 2.0ah for my milwaukee finish and brad nailers most of the time to keep them as light as possible. They last PLENTY of time on those tools. Never tried a 1.5ah, though
If I'm not mistaken, I think DeWalt makes an even smaller battery than 1.5ah... Don't they also have a 1.3ah?

I'm sure they'd shoot some nails. You're just not gaining anything at this form factor; a 2ah is more capable, and has a juice indicator on it that'll help you know when to switch. This battery will die very quickly on any high draw tool, and you won't have any idea when that's going to happen, which could result in a farked up cut, etc etc.
These really are demo batteries; enough for a person to pull the trigger and run the tool. Don't buy them.

Agreed, buy the 2ah or powerstack of you want a small batt.
I'm thinking these might be good for things like the flashlight, or even the grease gun.
The grease gun claims 16 cartridges off a single 4ah battery. so in theory a 1.5ah should do like 5 or 6 cartridges. In practice, even 1 or 2 cartridges per charge is more than enough for my needs.

I've only seen 1.3ah on their 12v batteries
