Original test: Aug 2026Catalog checked: Nov 5, 2026Testing by Project Farm
Bench gives no overall ranking for the August 2026 genuine-versus-knockoff battery study. It separately reports the genuine DeWalt sample at 1.3 average finish. This subset identifies the linked DCB205 battery family without ranking unrelated battery platforms against one another.

Products and verified results for Tool-battery authenticity study: August 2026 source note
Manual reading of the dated Bench verdict and relevant source-linked product entries, followed by separate exact product identity checks. Underlying unreviewed trials are not reconstructed; PF Shop did not perform the testing.
Limitations to Keep in Mind
One exact linked battery family is reviewed. The current merchant package contains two batteries; the historical test quantity is not established. Product-page identity does not guarantee a particular marketplace seller or authenticate a delivered item.

DeWalt DCB205-2 20V MAX 5 Ah battery two-pack: Why This Result Matters
Bench reports the genuine DeWalt sample at average finish 1.3 and explicitly gives no overall ranking.
This result applies to the model and configuration in the original test.
Confirm the battery platform, model, capacity and source of purchase. Keep the result attached to the genuine test sample; an imitation pack or an adapter does not inherit it.
