picrthis Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Question: Are those Nano Phosphate batteries by A123? They don't look like they are, looks like the same type of 18650 cells you see in other Li-on's devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanxrus Posted October 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 These are new Sony Iron Phosphate LiFePO4 batteries. http://dewaltownersgroup.com/index.php/topic,210.msg497.html#msg497 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picrthis Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Thanks for the reference, did you take a pack completely apart? and if so are the batteries soldered in place? it almost looks like in the picture they snap into the plastic battery holder......now that would make it very easy for a hobbyist to replace them down the road. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanxrus Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 I did not take the pack's completely apart, however for someone who has electronics/soldering skills could probably replace these packs with no problem. ALTHOUGH DOING SO WILL MOST LIKELY VOID ANY SORT OF WARRANTY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madtec Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 FYI........ DeWalt launch the new compact 14.4v battery DE9141 for EUR, it comes with the same Sony cells used in the Compact 18v. This is a 5 cell pack and it literally out performs most 1.3 and 1.5ah 14.4v competitor packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanxrus Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Outperforms how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madtec Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Outperforms how? I cannot go into specific details but the battery can work in extremely cold enviroments where as the competition will not even work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanxrus Posted September 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Does this mean the same for the DC9181? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madtec Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Does this mean the same for the DC9181? Yes, but different software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanxrus Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 When I bought mine, they had green stickers on the lithium ion batteries as well. It's the initial "break-in" charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madtec Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Li battery packs are shipped dormant; that means when you first get it the battery will not work in the tool, you have to place it in the charger to activate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golden valley const. Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Am I seeing this right, 6 cells? So 19.8V nominal? Phosphate batteries are 3.3V per cell nominal. And the new 20V MAX packs are 18V nominal! Seems backwards to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
