- Both run on DEWALT 20V MAX batteries, so your existing packs and chargers fit either tool.
- Evidence boundary: 2 spec rows are published by only one maker in the table below; unstated figures are treated as unknown rather than assumed.
From the published figures only; no testing. Rated figures from different makers are not measured the same way.
Where they differ
- DEWALT DCB205: more capacity per battery (5.0 Ah vs 1.7 Ah).
2 verified spec differences across 8 specs published for both models (2 specs are listed by only one maker). Stated from the published figures only; no testing.
What they share
- Same tool category: both are batteries.
- Matching published specs: Voltage: 20 V; Charge indicator: LED state-of-charge indicator; Warranty: 3 Year Limited Warranty, 1 Year Free Service, 90 Days Satisfaction Guaranteed; Batteries in box: 1; Charger in box: No; Nominal voltage: 18 V (max initial 20V without workload).
Published by only one maker (data gaps)
- Energy: DCB205 lists 100 Wh; we hold no matching figure for the DCBP034.
- Battery line: DCBP034 lists POWERSTACK (product name); pouch cell technology; we hold no matching figure for the DCB205.
A missing value means we have no published figure under that heading for the other model (its maker may not publish it, or may state it differently); we never guess or count an unstated spec as a verified difference.
