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

    The only way this could be unethical is if your employer gave you the money for buying original batteries and you bought cheaper knock-offs instead, pocketing the remainder.

      Funnily, my former job had minimal theft - it was always identified and solved to either’s benefit - until a new owner bought over and started copping around & placing friends… The ethical issues during that period were interesting.
