They all suck long term, and under load, they all lose charging capacity after a few discharge cycles. I've yet to buy an off brand 6Ah dewalt battery that didn't lose capacity after a week or two of use. They lose a bar or two on the charge indicator, and as for the XR grinder, you can hear it no longer winds up to full speed once they drop a bar on the indicator, so it might be voltage drop vs capacity or a mix of the two.

I have some of the waitleys . They have been the best aftermarket ones I've ever bought. I've tried all the ones you tested and others. The waitleys have been great for me on my dcf900 1/2" impact gun. And my XR angle grinder.. they require quite a bit of juice. I have had 4 of the waitleys that have lasted me almost 6 months, as of now. With everyday use out of them. In case anyone is wondering..

You came to exact same conclusion as I have - Waitley is a great value. I have quite a few. The Waitley 6ah is better than my OEM DeWalt 5ah (Chinese knockoffs always overstate ah). All my Waitley's have lasted at least 5 years - not one has failed or noticeably degraded.

This is awesome, good to see where a knock preforms well enough and where it doesn't. I always wondered if the real batteries were just huge market up, and this shows, not exactly. Looks like the name brand are probably more expensive for a reason, but the average diy'er might not need all that instant power. I got 3 knock off tool batteries that work great, but never used them on something like a grinder.

After watching your video, I have decided to purchase a couple of 5 or 6ah dewalt batteries since they seem to dominate when it comes to high drawing demands. Thanks for this info.

The aftermarket 18650/21700 cells used in these battery packs are not using high amp discharge cells, so they can't handle high amp applications like the grinder (with a load) for long. They'll overheat and degrade faster as well (less charging cycles). Some of the best cells out there are made by Samsung and Panasonic, which the cheap clones aren't using (can't use at those prices). I'm curious as to what brand cells DeWalt is using. I build drones and have tested dozens of various brand/model 18650 batteries.

Cool review. I bought a Waitley years ago when I didn’t have funds for another Dewalt battery and I just needed something as a back up to my two 2.0 Dewalt batteries. I now have several more and larger DeWalt batteries but haven’t tested to compare but i use the waitley on a fairly regular rotation and don’t notice a huge drop off. It is a 5amp. Now I have a new Dewalt 6amp, 4amp and an older 3amp (and a flex volt). I should compare it to the 3 and 4 amp for time

I've used four 6ah Waitley's for at least 5 years - still going strong. I keep them charged and rotate thru all my batteries (including my OEM DeWalt batteries) so none gets overused/underused. Fwiw, I bought a couple 12ah DeWalts last year with my lawn mover/chainsaw/weed trimmer - one failed after 6 months. DeWalt replaced it quickly without hassle, so that ~$300 price tag per battery was at least worth something.

I am curious about the difference between the new and the used DeWalt 5Ah battery..and how these batteries fare with repeated charges and how quickly they degrade over time.. ie- after a fixed amount of charging cycles...say ten...what is the battery performance then? That would clinch the deal between the top contenders (DeWalt and Waitley.) You don't even need to bother with the rest. My question is how do they all degrade after repeated charging cycles.

I wonder if the Korea made dewalt batteries use the Samsung cells. They're not at the top of the 18650s form factor but they're near the top which might account for part of the performance difference.

I just bought 2 Waitley 6Ah 20v batteries and 2 DeWalt 5Ah 20v batteries from Amazon. I tested each battery and while the DeWalt did indeed have Samsung 25R batteries the Waitley batteries had ZERO writing on them. Next I performed a capacity test and found the Waitleys were 3883 and 3863 mAh batteries closer to 4 Ah batteries and not the 6 Ah as advertised. The DeWalts tested at 5123 and 5092 mAh each surpassing the 5 Ah as advertised. I have both genuine Samsungs and Molicel batteries for replacing the batteries in the Waitleys when they die.

This is about the third or fourth battery comparison tests that I've seen. All of them recommended the Waitley if DeWalt's prices are a tad too high.

From all of the research I’ve done thus far…it seems that if you desire a specific OEM performance (I.e. 5ah performance) you need to jump up 1 ah with the aftermarket and you’ll get it.

I’d like to see this test re-run in 6 vs 12 months to se if the knock offs can sustain their value vs Dewalt. Great video

Man, the waitley has been working just fine for me. I will say, for a professional application like yours it may make since to "buy once, cry once"

I sold a Dewalt saw to a construction worker. I was talking to him about eBay batteries. He purchased many. He said the all work great last about as long however after several months he said they started dying!
