The DEWALT DCB407 40V MAX Battery gives you compressed runtime for the entire DEWALT 40V MAX line. With 7.5 ampere-hours of capacity, this Premium XR pack delivers up to 87% more runtime than the DCB404 4.0Ah battery, so you can trim, cut, and fasten longer between charges. The 3-LED fuel gauge provides immediate status feedback, and the lithium-ion design has no memory effect and virtually no self-discharge.
DEWALT DCB407 40V MAX Lithium Battery: More Runtime per Charge
Unlike older battery packs, the DCB407 uses premium lithium-ion cells that hold a charge while stored and deliver consistent power under load. It's compatible with every DEWALT 40V MAX tool, including mowers, blowers, chainsaws, and outdoor equipment, making it a smart second battery or a replacement for lower-capacity packs.
DCB407 Fuel Gauge and LED Indicator Meaning
The 3-LED fuel gauge on the DCB407 shows the current charge level at the press of a button:
- 3 LEDs lit – 67–100% remaining
- 2 LEDs lit – 34–66% remaining
- 1 LED lit – 0–33% remaining
When no LEDs light up, the battery is depleted and needs to be recharged. The fuel gauge is active even when the battery is not in the tool, so you can check the battery before heading out to work.
Capacity Comparison: 7.5Ah vs 4.0Ah
The DCB407 holds 87% more energy than the DCB404, making it ideal for high-draw tools like a chainsaw or mower. You get longer work sessions with fewer interruptions, and the pack is designed to run cooler for extended life.
Note: The *MAX* label refers to initial; maximum voltage is 40 volts, nominal voltage is 36V.
