As above title, I have both type 1 and type 2 batteries. Both are 4.0 so what’s the difference?
Version 1 vs version 2, probably just upgraded or change some internals enough to make them call it a type 2

This.
When they make a revisions change, there may be a slight difference in internal components. This just lets them know which one it is and what the difference is. More for warranty.

LOL,
Interesting, I know that with the DeWalt Scroll Saw, Type 1 meant it was made in Canada, and Type 2 was made in China.
That would indicate a type change as well even if it’s the same as the previous version if ta manufactured in a different part of the world materials could be different suppliers or quality or what not.

Partly, yes… On the type 1 which I have, the upper arm drive rod can work loose and begin to rattle inside the arm. I took mine apart and reamed the inside out a bit… On the type 2 they fixed this issue…
Anytime they make revisions to parts or components it changes the Type number. Type 1 is first factory shipment, if revisions or improvements are made, it goes to Type 2, and so on.

1. That’s incorrect information
2. No, that’s just not correct
3. Alternative facts
While not exactly pertaining to the question at hand…… Stuart had a good article about DeWalt vented batteries…. interesting that the ones in his photos that were older are type 2 and newer are type 1.

For the 20V batts, I’ve noticed that type 2 have the fuel gauge built in, whereas type 1 does not.
