I have a fair bit of construction tools (DeWalt brand) but the batteries are damn expensive

Is it unethical to buy the cheaper compatible batteries

    The cheaper batteries may have a lower true Wh capacity.

    But given the cost difference, I’ve found they have a much higher value - I get 80% of the capacity for 30%-50% of the cost.

    And you always want to have at least 2 or more batteries to ensure sufficient runtime.
