DCB230 has Samsung 30T 21700 INR21700-30T (3000mah) cells. The toolguy post was posted before the batteries were on the market. 20700 was used for the dcb206 6.0 packs. 21700 cells have a lower impedance than 20700 cells. Would make sense to use 21700 for a 1P pack. Lower impedance= more power (less loss due to impedance) and future proof for future 4000+mah (4.0ah) 1P pack.

DCB230 1P 3.0 ah packs use 21700 cells. A 1P 4.0 ah is probably on the way..ala Metabo. New 9.0 flexvolt probably does as well. 20v max (18v in Europe) isnt going anywhere. The future for impact drivers, compact drills, rotary and 3speed hammers (dcd996) is more light weight and compact designs (kudos to Milwaukee and Makita) while maintaining current power output (1000 watts). 60v makes no sense for these platforms

Arent corded tools typically rated by the nominal current drawn from the outlet? What does "15 amp power" even mean? Does that mean that after considering loses, the power is less than 15Ax110v. Arent some of Milwaukee's high power output tools (Sds Max) plagued with hot pack and thermal overload issues? How long can these new high power output tools run before they hit temperature thresholds? Everyone seems to mentions wire gauge and such...but what about the controllers for these tools (mosfets). They're usually the bottle neck for power output and high current.

Field testing. I believe Dewalt has already released a Model# several months ago. DCS577. Looked pretty enough to me. If you use their worm drive ac saw dws535, minus some weight, you'll feel right at home I think. It might share some components with it ( shoe, guard etc). Pics aren't allowed when you field test.

I saw this saw (lol) a few weeks ago. It's basically a DWS535 form factor flexvolt saw (rafter hook, etc). I was told the the motor is identical to the DCS575. Battery pocket sits in front of the handle. I'm guessing we'll see an announcement soon.

I may have been wrong. Didnt think to take screen shot. Will find out Tuesday i guess.

Dewalt UK lists DCG412 at 450 max watts out. ACME site claimed 60v grinder has 13amp AC power which is (13x120) 1500 watts outs!!!! Like you said...cut twice as fast = double runtime..maybe triple in grinder case.

Then its clear. Using 60v probably allows comparable run time to 2ah 20v tools but provide significant increase in available power for heavier applications where 20v tools would probably hit shutdown current clips to protect motor from short and long term high current damage

Acme site listed 100 2x4 cuts with 60v circ saw on 1 fully charged battery (20v 6ah/60v2ah). Not sure how that compares to other brushless 18v 7 1/4 circ saws on market. Site pulled it down. May have misread.

If 1000 watts is desired power output from 20v 6ah/60v 2ah battery 20volts x 50 amps = 1000watts 60volts x 16.7 amps = 1000 watts 20x50 - 50^2 x (0.1 ohm) = 750 watts out 60x16.7 - 16.7^2 x (0.1 assuming same resistance) = 975 watts out From same battery (20v 6ah/60v 2ah) Less energy loss using 60volts = better runtime than using 20 volts with same battery

Power=(Voltage x Current )- (Current^2 x Resistance). Higher voltage = less current to achieve desired power output. Lower current= less power lost during application. Runtime might be ok
