Cordless power tool battery packs are the lifeblood of many of our tools, but they often cost so darned much. While the biggest and latest battery packs are not often on sale, we came across quite a few deals worth mentioning.
Well, that’s not entirely accurate. We didn’t just come across these deals, we hunted and scoured, and spent half a Sunday morning looking for the best battery deals out there.
From Dewalt to Milwaukee, Bosch to Ridgid, here are the best cordless battery pack deals for the 2016 holiday season.

There is at least one Black Friday 2016 deal mixed in, and I also found a couple of starter kit deals worth mentioning. If you know of any other cordless tool battery deals, please let us know!

Bosch
Bosch 12V Max and L-Boxx Starter Kit
With Bosch’s 12V Max starter kit, you get a charger, (2) 2.0Ah battery packs, and an L-Boxx that can be used to store your first Bosch 12V tool purchases (some larger tools excluded).
This starter kit is regularly priced at $69, and is a good bargain. But, unlike last year, this year it’s eligible for Amazon’s $25 off $100+ promo! You can buy some small cordless tools or power tool accessories to get over the $100 threshold, or buy two starter kits for $113.
Or, you can also add Bosch’s 12v Max LED worklight or hand vacuum to get the order over $100. The LED worklight is one of our favorites.
Bosch 18V and L-Boxx Starter Kit
Bosch’s 18V starter kit is a similarly good deal. For $119 you get a charger, (2) 2.0Ah battery packs, and a deeper L-Boxx-2.
AND it too is eligible for Bosch’s $25 off $100+ promo, giving you a final price of $94.

There are 2-packs of Milwaukee M12 XC battery packs on display in Home Depot’s tool gift center. The Black Friday price has been $69 a few years in a row, and we’re fairly sure that price will return this year too.
Makita
Makita 18V Starter Kit
If you want to get into Makita’s 18V lineup, buy their hammer drill kit, or their impact driver kit. They’re each priced at $99 for the holidays.
But you can also pick up their new starter kit, which comes with Makita’s usual rapid charger and a newer 4.0Ah battery pack that features a built-in fuel gauge.
It’s $119 at Home Depot and Amazon.

Makita 18V 3.0Ah Battery 2-Pack
If you already have a charger and just want some extra battery packs, you can buy a (2) pack of 3.0Ah battery packs for around $100 at Amazon.
And don’t forget about Makita’s early holiday deal – $25 off $100+ select purchases at Amazon. Neither of these products are eligible for the added discount though.
Ridgid
Ridgid 18V 5.0Ah 2-Pack
Last year, Ridgid’s 18V 5.0Ah battery pack was on sale for $99, from its regular price of $119.
This year, you can get 2 for $129. Nice!
Cost per amp-hour: $12.9
Ridgid 18V 4.0Ah 2-Pack
If you don’t need the latest and highest capacity battery pack, you can buy a two-pack of Ridgid 18V 4.0Ah battery packs for $99.
Cost per amp-hour: $12.38
Ryobi 18V 4.0Ah 2-Pack
Buy a Ryobi 18V One+ 4.0Ah battery pack, get another free. So that’s 2 for $99.
Kobalt 24V Max 1.5Ah Li-ion Battery Pack
$10 for a Kobalt 24V Max Li-ion battery pack with 1.5Ah charge capacity. I can’t imagine how they’re able to price these so low. Looks like someone got a huge discount on 1.5Ah battery cells!
Will you be taking advantage of any of these cordless tool battery deals? Did we miss any deals? Please let us know!

That Kobalt battery price is insane! I’m trying to think up ways/ideas to use them for parts.
Toolfreak
I’m going to guess that $10 battery price on the Kobalt is to entice potential buyers into the Kobalt 24V Max system. You can get some customers when you include 2 batteries and a charger in a drill/driver or drill/saw set, but you can get a lot more customers buying all the other tools too when they can just add a battery for each tool for just $10.
John
Any deals on Porter Cable battery packs?
Stuart
Not that I saw.
Jimmie
I think I’ll buy a Kobalt pack just to extract the batteries to use with my flashlights!
Dudester
Of course the prices on the old Dewalt XRP batteries and the adapter for the 20V Max are way down! D’oh
Will I get better performance using the 20V max with adapter on an old 18V Dewalt circular saw? Right now I find that I can only cut about 32 linear feet of plywood on a charge…
The yeti
U can’t figure out how they price them so low . Kinda funny . Looks simple to me . Actual cost of a battery to make and ship and market must be around 8 or 9 bucks . The rest is all branding and greed
