DeWalt is launching tomorrow 18V 5,0Ah batteries !! (wow !, really great news!)

(I also have official literature, pdf flyer, etc. from Cech, so probabbly all of Europe)

 

The new kits with 5,0 Ah will be labelled P2

Awww man not fair I just started upgrading to 4.0ah and 2.0ah, my 1.5ah and 3.0ah batteries are not even dead yet....they should offer a trade in plan, I don't need 10+ batteries......

 

Glad to hear they are keeping up, now we just need some more 20v tools

USA isn't far behind fellas.

This is great. I also read somewhere that companies are already working on 6.0 batteries

[Bigmikez]

Man really!!! I just bought the 4.0s!!! We'll guess I'm gonna be getting another set :}

[Frain20]

Good stuff!! Maybe the pack that my work mate seen wasn't a knock off after all,lol

A 4.0ah battery will last me 3 days easy before a recharge so this 5.0ah pack will last me the week..

Technology is moving so fast these days it's untrue,runtime like this is going to open up a whole new category of tools than can become cordless..They need to release a cordless mitre saw made from a lightweight material (carbon fibre) or some other composite material

The introduction of 5.0 is amazing..the run time is getting better and better

[Jimmijo]

I might just buy a 5.0ah just to have it. And hoping the 3.0ah and 4.0ah get on sale and buy another couple of those;)

Didn't see that one coming. Well, kind of, but not so soon. Curious how they are priced in Europe. I've been using 4.0Ah since it's launch.

Could use a 5.0Ah for that DAB radio.
