Jronman Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 $200 isn't bad. Only issue is a 2 hour charge on a fast charger is a bit slow. DeWALT needs a faster fast charger. @Framer joe MOAR POWA! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slopjock78 Posted April 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 I will be interested to see what they price this batteries at. I have 8 of the original 6/2 amp batteries, so I dont have a real big need for this battery, but if it's priced decent enough, I may have to pick one up to see how it does 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prices will drop and sales will occur as with everything.The 9.0ah FlexVolt has an MSRP of $199 for one.The 9.0ah usually gives double the runtime of the 6.0ah FlexVolt in a FlexVolt tool. This should provide similar results. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Framer joe Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Oh ya , just was reading about that. I read 21700 cells ? Same body size as the existing 9ah and about the same weight as I see the comments above me.....price will definitely drop, but I’ll get a few. Good thing is,you don’t need to buy as many. Can’t wait to see Milwaukee’s answers coming up soon....I’m sure they have a 12ah, and high tech..funny how Dewalt put this out first this time ahead of the Milwaukee event.... love the competition,we all win. Personally I don’t think I’d buy a bigger battery then this size....hopefully someone is working on smaller,more powerful cells and more POWA inside.... @Jronman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making a given battery SMALL I think is the direction companies will be headed soon. When you get to the point where a battery will get you through multiple days of work....bigger just wont be necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fm2176 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 All I can say, is "wow!" I'm not a heavy tool user normally (at least at the moment), but I'm surprised at how quickly battery capacity has first doubled and now quadrupled in the past few years. When I bought I DeWalt OPE in 2016, it came with the then-high capacity 5Ah batteries. At the time, 3Ah was still fading out as the larger battery found in kits (I found a Toolguyd post about the release of the 4Ah battery in April 2013). To think that only five years later a battery with 3x the capacity would be released is unfathomable, considering how many years most 18v lines stuck with batteries with almost 10% of the capacity (1.3Ah). I rarely exhaust my three 6Ah FlexVolt and single 6Ah XR batteries, but if I can find them for a decent price, I'll be picking up a couple of these for the miter saw.
