07Sierra Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Thinking of picking up another battery and can get 2 2ah batteries in a pack or the 3ah and a charger for about the same price... Wondering what the better choice would be, leaning toward the 3ah and selling the charger after since I have 4 already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 I can tell you I only use the new 3.0 packs and the 60v packs though having extra batteries ain’t a bad thing. I like the new 3.0s a LOT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07Sierra Posted October 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 I'm just a diy guy... And I have 1 4ah, 4 5ah, 1 6ah and 1 1.5ah... I'd like to have a smaller compact that's more useful then the old 1.5 ah from 2012 lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas you already have backups I’d try the 3.0 , the use a larger high cap cell and work in my nailers really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djlindh73 Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 I just saw it on the Dewalt website. Tool Nut will be shipping the 8ah batteries Oct 18th. I don't know when the compact 4ah will available. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 I would go with the 2ah. Smaller and lighter than the 3ah. 99% of the time the 2ah is adequate for the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree; older technology, perhaps, but tried and true, and with a second battery to use while the other is charging. I don't (think) I have any of DeWalt's 3Ah batteries, but I do have a Ridgid or two that seem to be similar in size and such. For my needs, the 2Ah batteries are perfect for smaller tools, while saws, vacuums, and other higher-demand tools use a 5Ah or larger.
