eyeshot Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 ok, so maybe it's a given that you shouldn't have 2 different amp batteries on an x2 tool (ie. have a 4amp and a 2amp on an x2 sawzall). But I was thinking that would be really convenient if, say you were using a drill with a 2amp battery and a 4amp on your multimaster and you needed to make a quick cut with your sawzall but you don't want to go back to your truck to get it, could you just use those batteries you have with you without worrying about damaging the tool/batteries? And maybe it would only be fine if the batteries and Tool both had star protection, thoughts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiltiWpg Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Most X2 tools have the fuel gauge and will not let you use batteries that are too low. A fully charged 2.0 and 4.0 should work fine until the 2.0 threshold is reached.Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiltiWpg Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 FYI, I stuck a 2.0 and a 5.0 in my 2x Rotary Hammer, works fine. The tool flashes the battery gauge when the 2.0 drained too low, to prevent overdrain and battery damage.Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornomaniac Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Yup it's fine. It will indeed stop when the 2.0 goes low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeshot Posted June 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 cool, thanks guys! I was just concerned since if you use 2 AAs (or AAAs, etc.) with different charges one'll explode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornomaniac Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Hahaha no But keep in mind that a compact pack can deliver half the current of a fatpack. Some high drain X2 tools like the Rotary hammer/ Recip could take a little performance impact if you start putting on compact battery packs. Fat packs ( 3.0 amp and up ) are advised to get the most out of your tool's performance but not required for it to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
