RickyMcGrath Posted November 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Supposed to be able to charge 6 20V batteries then use those batteries to provide 110v power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmikez Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Wow 110v awesome! Hopefully it's not just a rumor.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 6 20 volt batteries wont be cheap!! Unless you can't run one a small Inverter generator would be the way to go in my opinion. I still like the idea though don't get me wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of simultaneously charging six batteries is really what excites me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickyMcGrath Posted November 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Why do you need 22I've managed to acquire most of them at VERY VERY low costs. 5-6 were given to me, several were bought with various tools at extremely discounted rates. Some open item returns, some non stock. Caught a few "free battery" deals on line and in stores.... And so I have 22. I can easily go through 10-12 in a day. Yesterday I burned through eight 3.0's drilling concrete for anchors. I also occasionally outfit my crews with specialty tools and they need batteries too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel L. Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 I'm happy with my 4 XR packs I have 2 2amp and 2 4amp. Then again I use them for doing mechanical work, because an air compressor to power the tools I would need costs over 1000$, then again I still am looking for a cheap Mac tools 1/2" cordless impact, or waiting until Dewalt makes a brushless high torque impact.

If you are doing that much concrete drilling you might want to upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyMcGrath Posted November 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Are you using an SDS for that kind of drilling or just a plain hammer drill? If you are doing that much concrete drilling you might want to upgrade.I have the DCH253 SDS Rotary Hammer. I still holes up to 1.25" for anchoring dock levelers & bumpers for 18 wheelers. I always drill progressively when going that large and step up at least twice, often three times. 1/4", 3/4" then 1-1/4". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
