      I will agree that DeWalt has the best batteries, but I wish they made all the battery cases the same as the PowerStack with the rubber base. Makes it feel a lot nicer and protects it a lot better.
      I also wish DeWalt wasn't so greedy when they launch new batteries. When the 1.7ah PowerStack battery came out, they wanted $170 bucks for it!? Then the 5ah came out at $250? They are crazy!
      Now though, the price is reasonable, especially on Amazon. I got a 5ah, 1.7ah and the new 4amp charger for $120. That's more like it.

    Just like you I assumed they would be smaller. Lipo are awesome but have one huge drawback; they hate being stored at full charge (4.0-4.2V per cell). They however will have 10x lifespan if stored at 3/4 charge/3.8V per cell. A lot of high end electronics will self discharge a battery pack after 24-48 hours to this voltage to preserve the pack overall life. Curious what the initial pack voltage is? And if it self discharges?

    My favorite battery packs are based on 21700 cells, since they are better than 18650 cells in every way. And the cells often are replaceable, making the battery easy to repair. Pouch cells tend to be much harder to replace.

    My biggest take-away from this video is that my next battery purchase should be a 9Ah FlexVolt. I currently only have one 9Ah FlexVolt to run my 60V tool, and sometimes it runs out of juice before I finish a job. I was debating getting a 6Ah as a backup to the 9Ah, but it looks like it's a far better call to get a second 9Ah.
    As for the 5Ah PowerStack, I simply see no compelling reason to buy it based on this video.

    With the 8ah, it liked to bog down and then kick really bad, so I had to run the saw really slowly so it didn't kick or bog down. I thought it was just underpowered and turns out that it was. That 5ah PowerStack is a beast!

    You should test Ryobi's 18 volt cutoff tool as a part two of this test. Also, I would like to add that some tools may have constant velocity compensation that can make the RPM stay constant within the load range rating of the tool. What constant velocity compensation (also known as IR compensation) does is try to keep the motor running at the same RPM under various load conditions. So say for example you have a DC motor that needed to turn at 500 RPM and you needed 12 volts to do that, but it keeps slowing down as you apply more load. Well the way around that is using a controller with velocity feedback by either a sensor or indirect measure of the armature voltage and higher voltage applied to the controller. The controller will increase the voltage as soon as the RPM drops keeping the RPM at a dead steady 500 within limits of course until either current limit is reached or run out of voltage or over heat protection kicks in.

    Excellent, and very informative review. Just picked one of these up having seen a really good deal here in the UK, (I've already got one of the 1.7Ah packs) and performance-wise, must admit I'm impressed. Clearly a fair bit lower internal resistance than the traditional 5Ah packs and a fair chunk more total energy usable per charge. Will I switch over to them in preference to the standard packs? Probably not, but for my more power-hungry tools they make a better partner, no doubt.
    As for the pack being 'front heavy', that's fair comment but also inevitable given their need to fit into the rotary hammers and other tools that mount the battery 'backwards'. For this reason, the spatial relationship between the mounting plane and the rear face of the pack needs to be identical to the round cell packs, limiting DeWalt's options in terms of where the extra area is distributed. If it wasn't at the front of the pack, it'd need to be in a lot of extra width.

    Alright, post viewing takeaways...
    When I chose the 5PS, I was deciding between it and the 6XR and these results show that I was making the right comparison.
    That's good news. Because of the reasonable size, I can (and have) replace all of my smaller batteries for my smaller tools with them. But because of the performance, I can feel confident running it in my bigger tools as well although, I am going to keep my 8XR and 10XRs handy for their extended run time over this one.
    NICE! This is the comparison I was looking for, for a week and taking the leap without seeing it. Like I said, most people saw the number '5" and wanted to compare it to the 5XR and it just kept winning because that is not the right battery for comparison purposes.
    Now, that ad you showed on Amazon for the 6XR for 91 bones...that guy is still running that ad here in the future. He's at $84 now. And for that price, I was tempted to go with the 6 and just buy four from him. BUT...I am a little gun shy. I got burned recently on ebay, and ended up with two counterfeit 5XRs. So I dug deeper there.
    Amazon is an authorized DeWalt seller, but everyone who sells on Amazon is not Amazon. That guy is not Amazon. So I jumped in the questions section and asked the direct question. He answered that he is not a DeWalt authorized dealer. Understand, that does NOT mean he is selling fake batteries. His batteries may be right as rain. It just means you do not have the guarantee. Whether you should take the chance or not is up to you, but you should absolutely have this information going in.
    You can buy a 2 pack of 5XRs directly from Amazon, without that risk. Those go for 196 so...about $14 more per battery. On the flip side, I paid 300 per two pack at Lowes for the 5 PS. Yes, I could have found a better price, but Lowes has a program where they let you pay for your stuff over 90 days (as them about Progressive Leasing), and it doesn't cost much (unless you go over 90 days...on day 91 they ream you, so be careful there). 200 per month for 3 months (I bought two 2 packs) was just easier for me to handle right now, so I did it that way.
    There...now we all have the benefit of each other's experience, and everyone else has all of the information they could possibly need to make good decisions.

    I’d be interested in seeing the 8ah tested out and compared. The 6ah is my go to choice for everything but the small impacts. I’m wondering if the 8 would beat the 15 since the 6 already seems close.

    • @GuyFromJupiter
      @GuyFromJupiter ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I doubt it would beat it in power. Larger capacity cells often have slightly lower outputs than lower capacity ones of the same type, and that usually holds true with 8Ah vs 6Ah batteries.

    I'm assuming DeWalt due to the 60v Flexvolt version, but I could be wrong.

    While I only own a few Dewalt tools I do like that there are options to batteries. the only major Dewalt tool I own is the Multi-tool (Oscillating-tool). Smaller batteries (2Ah) are better for cutting up on a ladder, but cutting on the ground a lagger battery is ok. If the new PS batteries get smaller with more beans then that might be an option worth paying for?

    I just replaced all four of my smaller tool batteries with these. In other words, a couple of 5s and a couple of 3s are getting kicked off of the shelf, and replaced by four 5Ah powerstacks.
    The god news is that the price has come down...a little. Purchased in early June of 2023...I paid 300 per two pack at Lowes.
    Now I am interested to see how they do with the bigger tools. Can I use these, in a pinch, in place of the 10 and the 8 that they are not replacing, in my circ saw, sawzall, hammer drill and grinder? Hoping I will get that answer, after I press "play" here.
    Oh, and I can add something: Size and power comparisons against the XR 5 are what everyone ants to do, but that isn't the point. In my view, the 5 PS is meant to replace the 6 XR, which is a MUCH better battery than the 5XR. So, if you compare it THERE, it is a little smaller.

  • @SoJa92
