I posted months ago about a bigger battery that can switch between 18v and 54v (20v and 60v in Dewalt terms) based on the tool it is put into. Meaning it can run all the current 20v tools like its a 9ah battery, then it can go into a more power hungry tool and be a 60v with 3ah. These can also be placed in pairs in really hungry tools like large miter saws and table saws for 120v. This is how it was explained to me months ago by some Dewalt reps who were too excited to keep a secret. I posted on here and few guys straight up said there was no way that could be true. I am patiently waiting to be vindicated on the 21st.
That sounds cool. Not sure about pairing batteries to tools then switching voltage pull on them. I've read that lithium doesn't like that. Two batteries that have been used in different tools then put into same tool. I'm new to these particular forums is there a resident electronics PhD type to chime in on this around here?

When was the XR series released? I hope this isn't some big hype for a new line or something. I don't want to worry about battery compatibility and what not already... Already went brushless so there is already a smart chip in the tools. Not a tech expert could it be some new kind of converting DC/AC current to squeeze some more power out of power tools? Wouldn't take much to throw more microchips in them.

That was kinda my thoughts on it too. Being new here I figured I'd just sit back and see how it all plays out. Seems silly to build anticipation then when someone hits too close to home try to pull in the reigns. I'm excited to see whatever it is though.
