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

Have you actually seen these fires in reality? If I were a CEO of a US based tool company making everything in China, I would certainly invest in a PR firm to convince people the exact same battery without a brand would catch fire.

Frankly, Lowes and Home Depot have been repeatedly been caught selling counterfeit tools, so even branding wont save you.
