Some of HD's buy one get one deals include the new 8Ah XR POWERPACK (DCB2108) as a free gift. For the lowest price do the following:
- Follow the link and select the TOUGHSYSTEM 2.0 FLEXVOLT... as the main item
- The total price for both items will be $199 (free shipping or store pickup)
- The battery should each price out at $104.26 (and the worklight at $94.74)
This is the lowest I have seen this battery for. The lowest slickdeal I saw before now was $150. If you plan to keep both the battery and tool, note that there are other options over at
Lowes for $199 for the battery and tool, but this is the regular 8Ah battery, not the POWERPACK.

A few have had issues with a store trying to say you have to return both, but I never have had ANY hassle whatsoever. When I was building my collection, the girls at the service desk basically knew me from picking up items & returning but never batted an eye.

In general, for maximum current draw:
lithium pouch > tabless 21700 > 21700 > 18650
(Also, number of cells in the battery pack will also factor in)

The newer tools will require much more power and even these will be obsolete quickly, too.
the larger style 4ah, 3ah, older 5ah, 2ah (sometimes premium just because it's small)
expect to pay extra for for these newer 21700, powerstack, flexvolt (basically in that order)
I've noticed a difference with a larger battery on my DCF850, it hits slightly faster&harder in each mode.
When working on suspension stuff, my DCF923 (same as DCF921 but 3/8") went from impacting and basically doing nothing after 10+ seconds to loosening the bolt in a few secs.
Those are a few I've noticed recently, likely more but those times jumped out to me. I usually use a smaller battery (1.7AH powerstack is my goto) for everything but saw/polisher due to less weight. I have a lot of smaller batteries, but keep at least one larger/higher output (capable) battery nearby so I can use if needed.
You can absolutely get by without, but in some scenarios a better battery can make your tool faster and/or stronger.
