Horrible!!! Would give ZERO stars!!

I got this battery with a blower (DCBL722PI) for a Christmas present and just tried using it to blow debris off a tennis court and it literally lasted 5 minutes. Terribly disappointing.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Too Expensive

Using this brand new battery on a DeWalt leaf blower. The battery only lasts for a few minutes of use. And the replacement cost is eye-popping.
