Hi new to thw forum here. Just bought a new dewalt dw908 torch and was wondering about batteries. Is the battery for this torch specific to it or can other dewalt batteries be used for it and if so which ones?
It was an ebay bargain, 99p brand new in box no battery.
Any of the 18v Dewalt stem pack batteries should work.
Sorry for being a green horn, but what is a stem pack battery? ? I dont have much knowledge of cordless tools

A stem pack battery looks like that.

A slide pack is a newer style battery platform that Dewalt has moved on to.
Ah yes. Was thinking it was this type. So pretty much any dewalt 18v battery this type will fit? Next question, is the chargers for the stem type all the same?

99p for a flashlight? Pounds? Pennies, pesos, rupees, dollars?
Sounds expensive for a bare tool. Unless you already have some 18v (stem pack) dewalt tools, you would be better off with the 20v max (usa) or 18v XR (uk) led flashlight. Probably a lot cheaper flashlight that route plus you’d be in a future proof line up
99pence which is like a dollar store for us. It sounds like he’s from the uk they call flashlights torches Javier. On to his other question you have to watch out Dewalt has 18v Lithium ion battery packs and you need a multi chemistry charger to charge those packs. Any nicad charger will work with an nicad battery pack. Dewalt did make a few Nihmh battery packs but they are rare and charge off nicad chargers anyways.
Yes was 99pence in the uk. Im a sucker for 99pence no bid items on ebay. Have seen quite a few batteries and chargers on ebay so will keep my eyes peeled
