cant wait when they release some more infos on those. but its also a pretty high price for that battery.

that is an insane amount to pay for a battery
even the 18volt is stupid price.
dewalt 4 ah is 100 euro here in Ireland and 5 ah is about 125 euro.
I cant see anyone buy that 6 ah
is that including vat at 185
yup including vat
18V 4.0 135€
18V 5.0 160€
ya its really pricy
Hopefully the prices come down when other companies release their 6.0ah batteries. If if the prices are that high I think people will keep with 4.0 ah batteries and just buy more of them.
Yeah. Festool batteries are cheaper!!!! WTH?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
i was talking to 2 other trades today on a small job. spark and plumber. one has Milwaukee and the other dewalt , same as myself.
they were admiring my dewalt tough boxes and trolley.
anyway. we got talking about the ah on the batteries. they have 3ah and 4ah s .
they agreed that they wouldn’t go 5ah unless they needed more tools and would get them just to get the new ones over the older ones on the kit.
the general view between the 3 of us was that at 185 euro is isn’t worth the extra cost.
if you wanted 2 6ah that would be 370euro for 12ah total but if you went for dewalt 4ah you could get 12ah total for 300euro. and you have 3 batteries in 3 tools not 2 tools. ,. and you would still have 70 euro in your pocket.
you could go 5ah and still have money in your pocket.
Yeah that really makes sense Alan and spending just to have the pack is kind of absurd. I just got a 4.0 Bosch pack from the UTB and I have one 3.0 and one 4.0 for my Dewalts. I really like the run time in the 4.0, markedly different from my 3.0 especially in the circular saw. But to go out and drop an extra bone and a half plus….not for me. But the time I’ve burned through my 3.0 my 4.0 is charged and vice versa.

I can get 3 dewalt 4ah for a less than half of 300 euros.
ya the price for a 6.0 is just outrageous. better buy some lower amp batteries.
but lets see what will be the price here in the states when it launchs
stop depressing me.
that is my dealers price he is the cheapest in the country by a lot way
All depends on your country yet again.
Makita’s 4.0 AH are € 99 here in belgium.
And the 5.0 Ah are about €120.
Belgium’s expensive =)
i think the price will drop when they release new batteries. and hopefully they add those 6.0s to some kits
