method Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 Has anyone noticed on 9ah batteries the little silver terminals on the top? They don't seem to be on my older 9ah battery. Any ideas what this is for? Old batt at tip, new below - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The.Handyman Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 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.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jronman Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 @The.Handyman will/do kits sold before the new battery came out start shipping with the new battery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any power difference between the new 9's and the 12's?There may be under heavy loads on tools that have high power consumption. Hard to measure just how much.

method Posted November 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 I wouldn't think there is any power difference if both use 21700 cells. Runtime obviously yes, power no. Metabo claim something like 3400w of power from tbeir 2x18v 8.0 21700 LiHD batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippy_chippy Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 The newer 9.0s are reasonably heavier than the older 9.0s... I just got one of mine replaced under warranty and received the new type. Old one weighing in at 1292 grams... New one 1458 grams. Just ran them thru the mower..Old one dropped a level on the power gauge quicker but new one lost all 3 bars of power 1st. Was it's 1st use tho, so might need to run it in more before it reaches max capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
