The DEWALT DCB230 20V MAX 3.0Ah Battery Pack is a genuine DEWALT power source built for the 20V MAX system. It drops into every DEWALT 20V MAX tool and works with all DEWALT 20V MAX chargers. With 3.0Ah of capacity, it squeezes more work out of each charge than older 18V packs, and its compact design sheds weight from your tool. The 3-LED fuel gauge takes the guesswork out of runtime – check at a glance and avoid unexpected shutdowns.
How to spot a genuine DEWALT DCB230
Counterfeit batteries are a real concern. Genuine DEWALT DCB230 batteries have a smooth matte finish, precise molding, a laser-etched DEWALT logo, and a serial number printed on the label. The battery should fit snugly into the tool and charger. If the weight feels too light or the plastic seems thin, it’s likely fake. When you buy from Workbench World, you receive authentic DEWALT batteries sourced from authorized channels.
Compatibility and charging
Works with all DEWALT 20V MAX tools and chargers, including DCB101, DCB104, and DCB112. A 3.0Ah pack charges in about 40 minutes with the DCB112 charger, so you can top off during a coffee break.
Runtime and performance
The 3.0Ah capacity provides 33% more runtime than the retired DC9096 18V battery, and it’s 22% lighter than the DCB200 – a noticeable difference when you’re working up on a ladder or driving screws all day. No memory effect and virtually no self-discharge mean the battery is ready when you are, even after sitting for weeks.
Backed by DEWALT’s 3-year limited warranty, the DCB230 is a solid upgrade for your cordless fleet.
