Here's one for ya: I am in need of an 18V reciprocating saw. I am already set on a DeWalt. What I am wondering is if there is a big difference between an 18V XRP battery compared to a plain 18V. The reason I ask is because I can get just the saw w/ 2 18V XRP batteries for $200, or get the saw plus a cordless drill in a set for $300, BUT the set comes with normal 18V batteries. Is there a difference?

HAH NE IA Dave I just discovered that this week about the B & D batteries, I filed down that small plastic keyway at the top and the battery fits in my Dwalt drill no problems, works like a charm, I think you are paying top dollar for the name of the battery, seeing how I can get a B & D battery for 20.00 and lasts just as long.

Buy a 18 volt B & D battery for 1/4 the price and cut the 1/4 inch plastic key off the stem of the battery. Wonder how come they made them different? Could it be more profit? We switched to All sears, I have had the DeWalt's when they first introduced the cordless till a couple years ago. I would not think of another DeWalt, other than the sears sawzall is pretty low grade junk, and a triger saftey that should be shoved up the designers, (well you know where) and I must suggest when shoving we send the sharp end up first.

I use pretty much all the dewalt tools in my work, and theres not much difference between the regular and xrp batteries. maybe a slightly longer run time per charge, but they both wear out at the same time in the long run. when that happens get them "rebuilt" not replaced. battery shops will replace the innards for about $30 and it'll run like new.

I don't know if my experience crosses over to the 18V variety, but I didn't notice any difference between regulars and XR's in my 14.4 stuff.
