Five years on Dewalt 5.0 AH string trimmer

I bought the two batteries and have been using them. If they are fake they are good fakes. Here are some pictures:

Here are a couple of pictures of a Dewalt battery I received with a DeWalt tool. It is identical to those in the $88 two pack:

What I noticed when I bought the eBay ones were the ribs, the different color of the packaging, and the lack of the 2D barcodes on the battery. This is comparing to 2 sets from Amazon.com in 2023. I have no doubt they will work likely for many years….
 
Not everything on ebay is fake. Sometimes I think more stuff on Amazon is fake! They just give a stronger face.
I actually just received an e-mail from Amazon that they were refunding my purchase of 2 DeWalt 5AH batteries that were determined to be fake. I compared them side by side with the other batteries I have from DeWalt and they looked identical except for different codes stamped on them. 🤷‍♂️

That’s wonderful news seeing as in 2023 I’ve purchased 4 from Amazon 😂
 
Yeah these were purchased at the end of December 2022.
When we think about it, it’s a good proactive resolution. Amazon is an authorized dewalt eTailer. Going forward I prefer to stick with them. For the tools themselves I always have.

Edit: I mean sticking to any authorized eTailer that dewalt lists. I got that last weed trimmer from CPO $25 less than Amazon
