Common Use Cases
This battery is the “gold standard” for professional users. It is perfectly balanced for circular saws, grinders, hammer drills, and reciprocating saws where high power draw demands a larger fuel tank. While it can be used on smaller tools (like impact drivers), some users find it slightly heavy for all-day overhead work compared to the compact 2.0Ah batteries.
*Note: “20V MAX” refers to the maximum initial battery voltage (measured without a workload), which is 20 volts. Nominal voltage is 18 volts
