  2. New 9ah batteries

    in Dewalt

    Posted

    DeWalt switched from 20700 battery cells to 21700 battery cells now that they are more readily available.

    The 9.0ah now uses the latest battery cells, just like the 12.0ah. This is a good thing. It is a rolling change that began happening in quarter 2 of this year.

  3. Flexvolt

    DeWalt's rapid charger is 8 amp output and fan cooled so it cools the batteries too. 2x rate of the Hilti.
    Makita rapid is 8 amp output.
    Hitachi/Metabo HPT charger is 9 amp. Bosch rapid is 8 amp output with a 16 amp output charger coming next year with boost mode.

  11. Last year's 20v propane heater change model numbers?

    in Dewalt

    Posted

    I went to go buy it and noticed on my Amazon wish list that the model number has changed. Used to be F340660 and
    now it's DXH70CFAV. Any idea what changed? I reached out to Dewalt but haven't heard back yet. 
    It's the same item. The heater is made by Mr. Heater in a partnership with Mr. Heater.

    The Fxxxxx part is the Mr. Heater item number

    The DeWalt part number is it under DeWalt.

    Same heater.

  14. Metabo HPT dual volt...ac or DC tools

    in Hitachi/Metabo

    Posted

    It's actually multivolt, which makes no sense in my head. There is no power tool battery that can manage several voltages (3 or above, hence multi). Like framerjoe called it, dualvolt, that sounds better to me [emoji6]

    Multiple or MultiVolt is accurate and sounds fine to me. It's more than 1 voltage so by definition, multiple works.

    Dual is more specific as it specifically denotes 2. Either isn't wrong. I think MultiVolt sounds better.

  18. Makita Battery cell 20700

    in Makita

    Posted

    If Makita uses bigger cells, then X2 tools are going to be seriously heavy and huge. Flexvolt are big with 15 cells, but Makita are possibly going to have 20 x 21700 cells on a single tool! [emoji32]
     
    I think Hitachi/Hikoki with Multivolt have a better approach. It's like a middle ground between Flexvolt and X2. A single 18650 Multivolt battery will do 36V and be exactly the same size as one of their original 6ah 18V batteries. To improve runtime (and likely power), they also have a bigger 21700 cell 8ah/4ah version that is 1440Wh. It's bigger, but not as big as Flexvolt or 2 x Makita batteries.
     
    We haven't seen any reviews yet, but in theory Multivolt is looking like a winner. I kind of wish it was Makita that came up with the idea instead (or be the first ones to copy Flexvolt if you prefer I put it that way).
    No reviews on MultiVolt because it isn't released yet. Official release is next Tuesday.

    Also, Hitachi had to pay up some for using voltage switching as DeWalt holds the patent.

    There has also been a MultiVolt X2 battery dust extractor spotted in Japan.
    .
    And Makita is so damn secretive.
