[DEWALT NEW 4.0AH BATTERY]

There is a press event scheduled for June 6. I'm hoping this is part of the announcements made there. I wonder if they will do anything with the new batteries that will adjust max torque on the tools when using a 4.0Ah battery as compared to a 3.0Ah battery? From what I understand, you can use the tool/battery electronics to modify both torque and run-time within the parameters of the battery-tool ecosystem.

[Dewalt Battery Update]

FWIW, there is a new review up over at protoolreviews.com that looks at the new Dewalt DC9180C Lithium-Ion XRP battery. It's not a tear down, but it was used pretty hard in the field for a couple weeks and found to be very reliable. The review might be more suited for those coming off of Ni-Cad.
