DeWalt battery Torx screw size?

What is the correct Torx size for the screws in DeWalt batteries?
A Torx 10 works but is a little loose in the screw head.

Sorry, I don't have an answer to your question
...but you could find yourself some torx gauges:

I think T15

I just went out to the garage and checked. Both my 18v & 14.4v dewalt batteries use a T10.

T15 will not even fit in the fastener. The T10 was a snug fit.

I tried four different T10's.
1. A bit in a gearwrench driver
2. L shaped torx key
3. T-handle
4. A Bondhus (screwdriver handle) T10

All fit snug

Thanks, guess I have 2 worn T10 that need replacing. Just wanted to check and make sure they were not some new kind oe size of Torx.

are you attempting the battery repair trick?

Just inspecting the battery date code to see if it matches the plastic case date.
This is a DC9096 battery I purchased off ebay but the screws are the same as my old DW9099 battery.

That would ****. Post back if the battery was tampered with...so we can avoid that seller like the plague!

A friend of mine is pretty much an electrical genius and said we could rebuild these (20v) without issue. The cells are easy to purchase. The 20v have a tamper proof torx and I have the entire set, but none of them fit. Any suggestions?

Zombie thread.

But not a bad idea given how damned expensive the batteries are. I am in if anyone finds a solution.
