Performance wise there’s just two tiers for the 12v line up.
BIGGEST DEWALT 20V BATTERY UPGRADE
FlexVolt users will see a noticeable performance gain if they upgrade to the bigger batteries. There’s just two tiers 6ah FlexVolt in A tier, and 9ah and 12ah in S tier. But I’m sure it’ll at least match it.įor 60v FlexVolt users it’s much easier.
I’m not sure what the max draw performance would be compared to the current 12ah battery. This would actually give it the flexibility to make it 120v capable battery and might open the door for 120v heavy duty tools. It could be a thirty cell 18650 cell battery. The 15ah battery may not be a three row or fifteen 21700 cells. Haven’t had a chance to experience this first hand. Unknowns, it’s unclear if the 10ah battery provides any clear advantage over the other two row 6ah and 8ah batteries. FlexVolt advantage tools will actually get the best performance with either 6ah, 8ah and 10ah 21700 20v batteries or the 9ah And 12ah tools. Power detect tools do not recognize the the extra amperage from the FlexVolt 9ah And 12ah batteries and perform the absolute best with the 6, 8 and 10ah 20v batteries. With one notable exception which is Power Detect tools. Your performance on all 20v tools will be peak performance on vast majority of tools. 20v dual row batteries, and ofc your three row 9ah and 12ah 21700 batteries. These include the 6 ah And 8 ah And 10ah (presumably). S Tier are your double And triple row 21700 cell batteries. These have very similar performance to each other with extremely slight almost negligible advantage with the single row 21700 cell compact batteries in terms of max power out put, but ofc the 5ah offering longer run time.Ī Tier, would be the 0 cell FlexVolt 6ah battery by itself, 18650 cell Noticeably better performance than B class. As well with the older 5ah two row 18650 cell batteries. Unless you’re getting them at a significant discount is best to avoid them.ī Tier is the single row 21700 cell 3ah and 4ah batteries. Then there is the two row older 18650 cell 3ah (discontinued.) and (4ah still made) batteries. Good for light duty use where space is limited. This is D tier and believe it or not it’s a major step up in performance over the sub 2ah batteries. There’s the single row 2ah 18650 cell battery.
BIGGEST DEWALT 20V BATTERY FREE
I’d avoid at all cost if possible unless free ofc. Just about useless are the single row 1.3 and 1.5 18650 batteries. There’s about 5 tiers of batteries in the DeWalt line up, for 20v tools only. I'll definitely be filling my Toughsystem battery box with a few more of these.I’ve seen a few battery comments and questions come up, so I figured I’d make this post. I am excited about this new technology, and can't wait to see it applied to the Flexvolt batteries to reduce their weight, or even a 20v 4ah Powerstack battery. It cut plywood no problem with the circ saw, and even runs the big hammer drill (DCD999) in a pinch. I also couldn't resist trying it on bigger tools and it really impressed me. Compared to the DCB230 battery I usually run on the sander, the Powerstack battery is about half the size and less than half the weight.
This battery was really comfortable on the 20v sander (DCW200) as well, with the reduced weight and improved balance, it was more ergonomic during extended use. I try not to run batteries all the way down to make them last, so when it hits one bar, throw it on the charger. This was a heavy application and the battery delivered incredible power!! It cut almost 20 linear feet before needing a charge, which is incredibly impressive for its size and the extreme cold. I was using my oscillating tool in a pinch, with a diamond grout blade. I later ran the Powerstack battery outside, cutting cement backer board in very cold weather. In those cases I like the 3ah with the 21700 cells. The only drawback one might consider, is with an oscillating tool or a similar tool where you want the larger battery case to help it stand up. It charges very quickly on the fast charger as well, so two of these batteries will keep your impact going all day long. This is great for lighter weight on the tool bag, and the Powerstack delivered consistent power. I like running the small batteries for weight, and compared to the other 20v 2ah and 3ah batteries, this unit has such a small footprint! In many cases it's slightly smaller than the base of the tool. One day I used it for framing with my 20v impact (DCF887) to run 3" deck screws, and it lasted for over 4 hours of heavy use. It is incredibly small and lightweight, it almost feels like a toy compared to the DCB203. This little battery really packs a punch! I received this battery right before Christmas, and used it on many different jobsites.
