![]() ![]() The voltage of the packs were 100% identical ( 20.5 volts - fully charged & without a load being applied). To find out, we tested three different tools & used 3 different battery packs. When you use a FlexVolt battery on a standard 20v tool, is the tool more powerful? Alternatively, when you install that same battery on a 20v tool, the switch is not activated, and the cells are then wired in series AND in parallel with each other ( 5 cells 2.0ah x 4.0 volts = 20 volts 2.0ah x 3 rows = 20 volts 6.0ah). When 60v tools are attached to it, an internal switch is activated which rewires the internal battery cell connections to link them all in series ( 15 cells 2.0ah each x 4 volts = 60 volts 2.0ah). By doing so, it means that your brand new 60v batteries/chargers will be compatible with the current 20v tools - giving you much longer run-times.īasically when you are looking at a FlexVolt battery, it has two different functions. This means that even though Dewalt did release a new line of cordless tools, they did not abandon the previous lineup, which is very typical with manufacturers in the past. Since the FlexVolt packs are dual voltage ( 60v & 20v), they will work on all of the new 60v tools & older 20v tools exactly the same way. With the recent release of the new Dewalt FlexVolt lineup, we decided to take an in-depth look into the actual performance that you will get out of those batteries - and more specifically, if your standard 20v tools will see any increase in power levels by using them. The age old question - Does size matter? When it comes to battery packs, there is more to it than you might think. ![]()
