DeWalt recently released an entirely new battery platform called Flexvolt. By using 15 rechargeable cells, wired both in parallel and in series, the company is able to boost battery voltage from its customary 20v Max (18v nominal) to 60v Max (54v nominal). The higher voltage makes the new packs well suited to high-draw tools such as miter saws and tablesaws, as well as outdoor power equipment. Interestingly, the packs are also compatible with most tools in the company's original 20v-Max system. DeWalt claims that the new dual-voltage packs provide up to four times the run-time when used in its 20v tools.
