07Sierra Posted October 8, 2019 Report Posted October 8, 2019 Thinking of picking up another battery and can get 2 2ah batteries in a pack or the 3ah and a charger for about the same price... Wondering what the better choice would be, leaning toward the 3ah and selling the charger after since I have 4 already. 1
ChrisK Posted October 8, 2019 Report Posted October 8, 2019 I can tell you I only use the new 3.0 packs and the 60v packs though having extra batteries ain’t a bad thing. I like the new 3.0s a LOT 1
07Sierra Posted October 8, 2019 Author Report Posted October 8, 2019 I'm just a diy guy... And I have 1 4ah, 4 5ah, 1 6ah and 1 1.5ah... I'd like to have a smaller compact that's more useful then the old 1.5 ah from 2012 lol 1

Whereas you already have backups I’d try the 3.0 , the use a larger high cap cell and work in my nailers really well.
07Sierra Posted October 8, 2019 Author Report Posted October 8, 2019 Like I don't need 2 more batteries but a new 3ah to me be great, good runtime, good power and smaller and lighter then all my other batteries... 1
djlindh73 Posted October 9, 2019 Report Posted October 9, 2019 I am waiting for these to be available. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk 3
ChrisK Posted October 9, 2019 Report Posted October 9, 2019 What the hack?!?! When is that coming out?!?!? LMAO that is what I get for waiting!
djlindh73 Posted October 9, 2019 Report Posted October 9, 2019 I just saw it on the Dewalt website. Tool Nut will be shipping the 8ah batteries Oct 18th. I don't know when the compact 4ah will available. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk 1
Jronman Posted October 9, 2019 Report Posted October 9, 2019 I would go with the 2ah. Smaller and lighter than the 3ah. 99% of the time the 2ah is adequate for the job.

I agree; older technology, perhaps, but tried and true, and with a second battery to use while the other is charging. I don't (think) I have any of DeWalt's 3Ah batteries, but I do have a Ridgid or two that seem to be similar in size and such. For my needs, the 2Ah batteries are perfect for smaller tools, while saws, vacuums, and other higher-demand tools use a 5Ah or larger.
Framer joe Posted October 21, 2019 Report Posted October 21, 2019 Compact 4 ah same size and weight as the compact 3ah...perfect
