**I Tested These DeWalt 20V Knockoffs So You Don’t Have To**
Let me be straight with you – I don’t trust third-party batteries. Never have. But when my crew started burning through DeWalt packs faster than my budget could handle, I grabbed these 12Ah DCB206 replacements to put them through the wringer myself. Tossed them into my circular saw, my impact driver, my grinder – the whole nine yards. Full days on the framing site, no babying, no excuses. Here’s the thing: they didn’t quit on me. Runtime was genuinely impressive compared to what I expected from a knockoff, and they seated clean in every tool without that sketchy wobble you sometimes get. Are they OEM DeWalt? No. Do they punch above their price tag on a busy job site? Absolutely. Full breakdown inside – I’m covering runtime, heat, durability, and whether I’d actually trust these on a real project.
