I've been comparing prices for 5.0ah DeWalt batteries and noticed that Home Depot has them for $150, while Amazon lists them at $100. I'm wondering if there's any difference in quality between the two options. The Amazon listing states it's sold by DeWalt, but I'm curious if that really means anything.

Honestly, I've had a good experience with DeWalt products on Amazon too! You might want to check if Lowe's will match that Amazon price—at least that way you can avoid any online hassles. Just make sure the product is coming directly from Amazon or DeWalt, and check out the seller's reviews if it’s third-party. Amazon is pretty good with returns in case you do get something that doesn't seem right.
I would steer clear of Amazon. They often pool inventory from various sellers, which means you might accidentally buy a fake product, even if the seller seemed trustworthy at first. If you really want to play it safe, Home Depot might be the better option.
I've bought DeWalt gear from Amazon before without any issues, even when it's through different sellers. If you ever suspect you got a fake, Amazon's return policy makes it really simple to get your money back. Just keep that in mind if you're leaning towards Amazon!
