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

Unethical? No.

Ive bought some of the cheapies off Amazon for my DeWalt tools and they worked fine but one went bad after maybe a dozen charge cycles. Still it was $50 for two 6Ah batteries so I'm still in the green compared to having bought DeWalt brand batteries. I also have a friend who is an actual contractor and uses them every day and even he buys the knockoff batteries.
