Better than Original
Please note that this is the XR battery pack. Most 9.6 volt tools from DeWalt come with the standard battery pack. The XR pack features 25% more runtime. So if you're thinking about buying a new tool instead of replacement batteries, be aware of the difference in the batteries. By the way, higher voltage DeWalt replacement batteries are labeled XRP. These proide 40% more runtime than the standard batteries. Also note that the extended runtime batteries are slightly larger and heavier than the standard versions.

There's nothing like the original
I have tried 2 after-market battery packs in an attempt to save a litte (these batteries are not cheap) and they just don't measure up to the original DeWalt version. This one fits right, unclips easily (I had to take a screwdriver to one of the clone versions to get it out of my drill) and lasts longer.

These days I can't find the 9.6v anywhere but online so you also have to factor in a little extra cost for shipping, but the non-OEM items just aren't the same. I buy DeWalt tools for a reason - I guess that reason extends to the batteries too!

Dewalt Battery
The battery worked well when i first got it but after a year it was pooped out and would not take much of a charge. This was my second replacement so i got a Bosch to replace the dewalt. Dewalt had two batteries that came with it one of them was no good.
