We've gotten way too accustomed to people just listing every sale that comes around rather than posting actual good deals

FWIW, the more recent versions of the DCB201 (1.5Ah) also don't list the capacity on the side. And yes, I take your point, DeWalt has certainly used this newer technology to charge more (whether that's recovering development costs or straight profit). That being said, I would take one of these over a regular 5Ah. I have six of them and they are my go to battery for most of my smaller DeWalt tools. Unless I have an enduring job out in the field, these generally work for me. They're light, they can sustain currents akin to larger batteries; and for most jobs I do, I simply am not using one tool for hours and so I don't need to lug 5Ah+ batteries around.
A good deal is subjective. These batteries generally cost a lot more than this deal, and I know of only one time they have been available for a lower price in the last year, so I would argue that this is a good price. In terms of whether it's a good value to an individual then that's the subjective part. If you're only metric is to maximize capacity per dollar, then this is an awful deal. However, if you value these batteries beyond their low capacity (small size, lightweight, high output) then you may consider the value differently. I posted the deal because I believe it's a good deal to some people. I do not blanketly post every deal I see but try to be selective as to deals that I consider to be good. Casing point is that in Saturday's Flash sale, I only posted three of the six items. Others subsequently posted two more of the items which were quite popular (one went to Frontpage) but I limited my posts to the deals I personally considered to be good.
