Most recently was a Bosch 12ah battery that arrived used, and it had non-factory screws in it. It took me just over 2 months to get corrected.
Prior to that was 2 Dewalt 5ah batteries that turned out to be fake. They claimed it was due to the fact that there was a mixup, and I returned the batteries, but they were a nightmare to deal with.
I've spoken with others that have said Toolup (here in Florida) is a resell store that buys pallets of returns. This is why items do not come in manufacturers packages. I can't testify to the truth of that, but from now on, I make sure an item on sale on Amazon is not from Toolup.
It's why I stopped order auto parts off them.

POWERSTACK use lithium-ion pouches. POWERPACK use more conventional 21700 cylindrical cells that are tabless. The tabless design allows higher current flow. This battery has higher current output than any of the others in the line up, surpassing the 5Ah POWERSTACK and the 9Ah FLEXVOLT*.
*On paper, the 9Ah FLEXVOLT has a higher peak current, 105A vs 90A, but in testing the POWERPACK has been coming out on top by a whisker (e.g., Torque Test Channel testing [youtube.com]).
Here's a discussion a couple of months ago on Reddit.

The powerpacks are newer and more expensive than powerstacks. I hope they ship the PowerPacks and not the PowerStack

As you go up in capacity, there are jumps in power output, and also battery-pack size, as additional layer of cells are added. The cells are typically 3.6V and so five of them are run in series to get to 18V (20V MAX has a nominal voltage of 18V). This configuration includes the compact batteries (DCB201, DCB203). To increase capacity further, packs can be made up of 10 cells, configured as two serial circuits of five cells in parallel. This configuration doubles the current output. Then there are some packs with 15 cells (three parallel circuits).
Older and non-premium batteries use 18650 cells (the number refers to the size: 18mm in diameter x 65mm in length). In the DeWalt line, these include packs with one row of five cells (DCB201, DCB203), two rows (DCB200, DCB204, DCB205), three rows (DCB606) or six rows (DCB615).
Some newer batteries use the larger 21700 cells. These generally have higher power output than 18650s. They are also 3.6V and so are configured as one or more circuits of five cells. DeWalt has 21700-cell batteries configures in one row (DCB230, DCB240), two rows (DCB206, DCB208, DCB210) and three rows (DCB609, DCB612).
The latest 21700 configurations are tabless allowing more power. Currently, DeWalt only offers one tabless 21700 battery and that is this one, the DCB2108 which is two rows of five cells. The next one to be release will be a 4Ah, the DCB2104, which will have one row of five cells.
Finally, some batteries use lithium-ion pouched rather than cells stacked up (hence the name POWERSTACK). They seem to be configured in units of ~1.7Ah, with the DCBP034 using one unit (1.7Ah), the DCBP520 using three (5Ah) and the yet-to-be-released DCBP320 using two units (3.5Ah). The pouches have higher output capacity than 18650 or 21700 (non-tabless) cells.

Wow.. thanks!

I did this twice and sent it back twice.
You might as well order a knockoff battery if you're ordering direct from Amazon.... Because that's what you're going to get.
