I went to Lowe's to check out this deal they had for the 5AH powerstack battery. They're showing it at $279, with charger and you get another tool (short list) for free. What caught my eye was that one of the free tools was the DCL079B Stand Work Light, which I had been wanting. I went ahead and got the deal. First thing is that it comes with the new 2 stage charger (DCB1104) not the DCB115 shown on the box. I think DeWalt is phasing the old ones out in leu of the new 2 stage chargers as this isn't the first time I got something recently with the new charger (DeWalt Fan DCE512P1 w 5AH Battery & Charger). Anyway, this battery is a bit chonky. It's a touch lighter than the normal 5AH battery. If it lives up to the claims on the box then I'll be happy. I do want to point out that this battery has a more premimum feel than the standard 5AH batteries that I have. They have a rubberized bottom portion which I find nice. The indicator stays on for about 5 seconds when you push the button. That area is slightly more recessed, but the button is a bit more proud. It's also slightly shorter than the standard 5AH battery. Just letting people know in case they were considering buying one. I feel like the deal is pretty solid if you get a nice tool with it. I'm also 100% sure you could probably buy similar items cheaper, but we all know why we're on this reddit.
