It looks like I stumbled across incredibly good pricing on a 2-pack of Dewalt PowerStack 3.5Ah batteries.
This Dewalt XR series 20V Max cordless power tool battery features pouch-cell batteries and sits in between the compact 1.7Ah and larger 5Ah PowerStack pouch cell Li-ion batteries with respect to size and runtime.
The battery launched a year ago at $169 each or 2 for $249, and the price has since increased to $189 each or 2 for $299. Home Depot has it at 2 for $179 at the time of this posting.

In another recent post, we’re talking about the pricing of Dewalt’s new cordless grinders, and a reader (thanks, Will!) says:
the 4″ kit includes two 3.5 powerstack. For some reason those are priced to the moon.
I looked up the price – Home Depot has a 2-pack of these batteries, DCBP320-2, for $179. (2) of these PowerStack 3.5Ah batteries for $179 seems like a pretty good price. So what are they talking about?
I haven’t been keeping track of Dewalt battery prices, and so I started searching around, and saw the price was $189 each. Other retailers have the 2-pack priced at $299.
This cleared things up. $189 for (1), and I’m seeing $179 for (2). I’m sorry Will, for not getting it, but I do now!

Here’s a screen capture of what I’m seeing. I’m also seeing a low doubled-digit inventory count.
Not even Amazon is matching this pricing – they have the 2-pack for $212.28 at the time of this posting.

Fastenersinc.com has the two pack of 5 amp powerstack batteries for $119!

It’s not clear what’s going on with the PowerStack 5ah – a couple of retailers seem to have been clearing out huge inventory numbers, and I’ve seen reports of old manufacturing dates.
