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?
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.
im actually, quite surprised on the battery prices, only $20 difference from the 4-5ah. and still under $150.
ya they are compatible
does dewalt have a 20v max grinder that is decent?
BB there gonna have some decent prices at lowes I believe for black fri on the bigger battery’s bro
the 2x 4ah 20V batteries for $119 instead of $149 ?!
Item #: 515773

Its not brushless but the grinder isn’t bad though. It seems like a brushless motor takes a grinder to a whole other level.

Could have got em from Lowe’s for 125$ they match prices online plus shipping.
i wouldve if i could, nearest lowes is about 300 miles away and taxes are horrible in my state, 10% basically takes off taxes. online from anyone else is cheaper, even got an amazon shipping center in my state, such balls when i pay stupid prices for shipping and taxes.
Dang BB that’s gonna be some great runtime there man!!

HD is $117 for the pair.
3 x 4.0ah 167$ in Denmark when the sun shines 🙂
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
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.
my XR 20v tool has 4x terminals, 2 are negative & positive, the other 2 appear to be sensor wires (yellow/brown) (second from left & second right on battery top row) they go into the board (resin moulded) and back to the switch that powers the tool, what is sent from the battery via these two wires and how? Can you mesure with tester for me?
I ‘ ve the drill but not the battery and i want to male it with lipo. so need to supply the correct votlage/current to these wires so the tool will operate
any help here greatly appreciated!!
my 4ah 20v xr batteries have 5 terminals
