QuasarCZ Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 With these bigger grinders is XGT line becoming interesting for me. What surprises me little is that 230mm grinders have one battery only. I was expecting two battery setup. In manual there is a new BL4050F battery recommended for it. Has anyone info on this battery? Bigger 5Ah capacity is obvious, but maybe bigger cells for higher power output? What does "F" stand for? 150mm 6" - GA033G/GA034G/GA035G/GA036G 180mm 7" - GA037G (with AWS) 230mm 9" - GA038G (probably with AWS) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToolBane Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 There hasn’t been much of any noise about larger cells anywhere else, so this is probably either a matter of more cells or newer cells of the same size that just have higher capacity. But to do more cells of say the 18650s that are used in LXT batteries, you’d have to use twice as many (20 cells) to retain a 36V nominal operating voltage. I’m having a hard time seeing how they’d want to make that fit in anything that fits comfortably on their existing tools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 BL4050F? Wow! Could that F be for Fluoride? That would explain this whole XGT-thing. Next generation battery technology. Search for Fluoride-Ion Battery, Kyoto University. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well THAT technology could be a tantalizing prospect...although that seems a little too fast to hit the market to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuasarCZ Posted December 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 What i have found some info on net, BL4050F battery will be probably 20 mm longer and 19 mm taller than BL4040. Maybe 20cell 18650 design? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
