i have too many batteries! how long do these generally last, non-commercial use? most of mine just sit around at home and use for that occasional fix up
If you plan to repair a deck these are good for driving 6 inch nails all day. Or even too much for brake jobs. Just bought a used pair for much less because I'm just a tree shade mechanic DIY household average guy.

The batteries on Amazon tend to be old stock (sometimes 2 years old). The last ones I ordered were definitely used, but at least they didn't seem fake like everywhere else you order them from.

They were not packaged in transparent plastic? New ones should be if it's just the batteries.

Anecdotal, but I have several of these batteries and a handful of the corresponding tools that I very rarely use and they've been working fine for a few years now. Recently used the skillsaw and drills quite a bit putting together a haunted house and finally managed to run a few of them dead. I don't think I charged the one I got with my first Dewalt drill for almost 2 years (I did charge it when I first got it).
I've been looking for this sort of deal yesterday, but now I'm questioning whether it's better to buy one 8AH battery[amazon.com] for about the same price. You are getting less energy for your money, true, but it will support higher current and won't need swapping when you use it in something energy demanding (blow a bunch of leaves and such)

I just had to throw away two 4ah batteries (hence me buying these) because they were a bit too old and had lost their power. Mine were from 2019 and could barely run my 6 1/4" circular saw anymore. Couldn't get through more than a couple of rip cuts before they just lost the juice to go on (even though the battery said it had 2 bars of charge). They do last a bit longer if you don't use them as much, as my 2017 battery that only gets used in the work light would attest, but they definitely have a shelf life.
Scooped up 2 of these this morning and they're already here - made in 2023. Thanks OP!
