method Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Looks like we won't see these until early next year. Third time they have been delayed now!? Why advertise it when you can't provide it? So annoying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchenzhenSpecial Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Delayed where? They're on the market in the UK. https://www.ffx.co.uk/tools/product/Dewalt-Dcb548-Xj-5035048706794-18V-54V-Xr-12.0Ah-4.0Ah-Li-Ion-Flexvolt-Battery-Pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 I thought they were available too. Maybe they are for sale but just awaiting for new stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in UK but buy most of my Dewalt gear in US. Currently sat on a 747 heading home with a 60V blower in the hold. Have two 12Ah batteries ($199 each) and two 20V sanders ($94 each with BF code) on order and will pick those up when I’m back in February.

method Posted December 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 They are listed for $249AUD but says available from the 7th of Jan. Originally it was available on the 30.10 then 07.12 now 07.01 on the Sydney tools website. Total tools have them for special order. It's strange the way they work here, I bought my dcs690 from Sydney tools in port Melbourne, no other Sydney tools store stocked it at the time, and total tools got it over a month later. Wouldn't you think it's released on the same day everywhere? Something to do with the deals the store owners make with the company so I was told.

The 12.0s have been in the country for 1.5 month waiting for fumigation. Stores will start receiving stock on Monday. Not really dewalt Australia’s fault. It’s customs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeDewalt Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Amazon has them in USA for 199.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roasty Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 I went into Sydney tools yesterday and picked up the blade left saw. I asked about 12.0 battery’s and they said they got a shipment I. Already but they are yet to be sent out to stores! So it shouldn’t be too much longer hopefully sometime next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
method Posted December 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Can't wait! I can't fit the 12ah milwaukees with the adapter into the dcs690 which is the only dewalt tool I really need them for. The table saw is fine with 9's for the amount of time I use it. I see Sydney tools sent a promo email today with it advertised for $249 saying 'limited stock'. As for customs, typical but good to know!

JakeDewalt Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 I honestly feel like the 12ah is a rip-off compared to the 2 for 200 9ah. So for me 12ah is out of the question until price drops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRS5565 Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 I agree 12 is just not worth the coin yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roasty Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 We do t have that deal here in aus. It’s more like 2 9.0 for around $400. 12ah is $249 so 2 for $500. So 6 extra ah for 100 is worth it IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
method Posted December 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 I wish we had 2 x 9.0 for $200. 1 x 9.0 is still $199 here and there are no bundles anywhere. Some places even sell the milwaukee 12.0 for $349, pretty much forcing you to buy a kit as I ended up doing if you want a 12.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 if you take into account the exchange rate of AUS$ and US$ then the 9.0/3.0 is actually cheaper in Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roasty Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Just picked up 2 12’s at total tools today. you can check their stock on the website and check each store to see who has them in. Can’t wait to test out runtime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
