BIGBEARJT Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 I'm new to dewalt cordless tools, I bought one of the 20v max kits from hd daily deal yesterday and it comes with the 2ah battery I see there are 3/4/5 ah batteries, are the they compatible with all 20v max tools?

chadlanthier Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Yeah that's what's great, They are all compatible. Some of the 20v tools don't do great with the 2 amp batteries, as they suck down the juice. The jigsaw is one I can think of, a couple squeezes of the trigger and the battery is dry.

DR99 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 does dewalt have a 20v max grinder that is decent?Its not brushless but the grinder isn't bad though. It seems like a brushless motor takes a grinder to a whole other level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comp56 Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I think battery prices are like diamonds, they control it ....I'm sure making these batteries are far less than they charge...no pun intended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwain Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 if you actually try to buy good 18650 cells and re-pack your own, you'll start wondering how they can make batteries at the prices they do ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel L. Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 if you actually try to buy good 18650 cells and re-pack your own, you'll start wondering how they can make batteries at the prices they do ...Yea I have seen the cells they put in them for 11$ a piece that's 55$ for the batteries in a 2Ah pack and 110$ for the ones in a 4Ah pack. Its the Price on the Lithium because its hard to obtain and refine as it reacts with almost everything, the fact that its in high demand due to lithium ion batteries being put in everything does not help.
