That’s a smoking deal unless I’m missing where they add for shipping or something

I bought some of the Dewalt batteries from Woot before.

If I remember right, the date on the box was 2018 or 2019. I think that might be the issue. My batteries are good as of now, and I don't use Dewalt exclusively (I have Ryobi for the good prices and huge selection, I have Milwaukee 12v for the fantastic ratchet, I even have some Hyper Tough that I got on insane clearance deals at Walmart).
Lithium batteries are stable, but they do expire. I've had one Ryobi battery stop taking a charge.

Dewalt has been at 20V since 2011. I wonder if some of these deals are going to be older batteries, where you get a few less years out of them.
