If you have the Discover 30% off promo and find something around $20, these come out to be $56 for two 1.7A Powerstack batteries, not bad.
I use them for the flashlights (3x) and pruning shears. They run a long time in those applications and make everything lighter. ~2x more charge cycles as well. For small jobs I use them in the drill & driver.

But you also have tabless batteries coming out, and most brands are skipping pouches and going straight to tabless. Tabless can deliver even more power than pouch, and generally have fewer downsides. Dewalt calls their 20V tabless batteries POWERPACK.
These Dewalts are designed to have good power delivery and be especially lightweight. On the other hand, they are pretty expensive - most brands regular batteries go for $12.50/ah on routine sale, and you can hunt tabless batteries for not much premium depending on the brand. I have Metabo HPT tools for instance, and it's pretty easy to find the 2.0ah batteries for $25 (but also silly, because MHPT liberally sprinkles them in tool kits.) Dewalt batteries are just expensive in general compared to pretty much everyone else.
These are way overpriced, yet most fall for DeWalts gimmicks.
Yes, they are smaller and power flows better/faster due to pouch technology,
yet pouch batteries have a very high failure rate over 18650/21700 cells.
Just Google pouch battery images and tell me what you see.
