|
Date: April 23rd, 2026 3:24 PM Author: vigorous stead the ONLY reason I went with dewalt is because I have a ton of their batteries already. I spent like $150 on the tool and had all of the batteries already. Batteries are the most expensive component, so it makes sense to stick to a single product line. I wish I would've chosen milwaukee. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5859724&forum_id=2#49837579) |

|
Date: April 23rd, 2026 3:50 PM Author: Disturbing Lascivious Shrine lmao, you don't even know how your own batteries work. the 9ah is only supplied when those batteries run at 20v. for your lawn tool purposes, they are only 3ah when running at 60v. they must be intolerable to use for any high-drain tool like a leaf blower.

|
Date: April 23rd, 2026 4:02 PM Author: vigorous stead I actually did not know that. The packaging etc is incredibly misleading.
But "Ah" is a measure of capacity, voltage isn't. It just means I go through four batteries to leaf blow my yard. At 60V, you get 1/3 of the capacity at 9A |

Date: April 23rd, 2026 4:21 PM Author: vigorous stead at first I thought he was suggesting that the leafblower is only operating at 20V which isn't the case. It's 60V but you're not getting 9Ah of 60V, you're getting 3. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5859724&forum_id=2#49837782) |
|
Date: April 23rd, 2026 4:32 PM Author: Disturbing Lascivious Shrine voltage actually is a component of calculating capacity. AH is meaningless without knowing the voltage. AH multiplied by voltage (watt hours) is what tells you how much juice a battery really has. So an ego 7.5ah 56v battery is actually 2.33x as powerful as your dewalt (which gives 9ah at 20v or 3ah at 60v). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5859724&forum_id=2#49837814) |

I will *never* buy another kitchenaid product after going through two of their "professional" models which were nothing more than plastic encased in a light aluminum shell to make it look "durable". KitchenAid sold the fuck out when it took over from Hobart, which was the original manufacturer of the military-grade mixers that last 50+ years. The hat-wearing suitmen were NOT fond of this business model. |
