Small "TOOL" Battery Better? Milwaukee vs DeWalt vs Makita

Рет қаралды 982,045

3 жыл бұрын

Batteries tested: Milwaukee 2 AH vs 12 AH, Dewalt and Makita. Battery performance compared in impact driver (low current), hammer drill (low/medium current), reciprocating saw (high current), and air blower (very high current). Battery size had a huge impact on tool performance, including torque and total run time. In some instances, larger tool batteries actually hurt tool performance. I buy all the products tested to ensure unbiased test results. So, thank you for supporting the channel!

@CptLang97 3 жыл бұрын

The Dewalt was interesting to me as well. It wasn't that the battery capacity was too large, it's that it switched from being a 20v 12AH to a 60v 4AH. the higher voltage means it had more power, causing the blade to move faster, but it seems that that saw is more designed to operate at the usual 20v because the strokes were actually too fast at the higher voltage.

@5467nick 3 жыл бұрын

@@CptLang97 The flexvolt batteries don't supply 60V to 20V tools. They are capable of supplying 20V or 60V, depending on the tool. Which is in use depends on different metal contact arrangements in the tool's battery holder. The reason why the saw moved faster was because the battery's voltage doesn't drop as much with increasing current. Where a small battery's voltage might drop from 18V to 14V under load, a larger battery might only drop from 18V to 16V. That isn't a huge difference, but it is enough to make the saw go faster by enough to change cutting behavior. Actually supplying 60V to a 20V motor would be a very bad idea, unless your goal was to set it on fire.

@TykeMison_ 2 жыл бұрын

w49660, the tool needed more weight (or force from the user) to effectively use the cutting power of the larger battery. As a counter example, if there was a battery that was _too weak_ to use 10 pounds of weight, the blade would've cut very slowly or stopped completely.

There is a channel called "Torque Test Channel" and they have compared the 6.0 High Output battery to the 8.0 High Output battery from Milwaukee and the 6.0 actually outputs more amps due to the way each battery is designed. Though it didn't 't make a noticeable difference on most tools and they recommended getting the battery that suited the capacity/form factor needs of the individual.

@@ProjectFarm looks like my (and maybe others) video idea came through? Nice to see the results! Interesting results on 12aH for sure. Since the batteries seem to work at different speeds (different Ah ratings) makes me wonder if something with a 2.6Ah rating will last 2.6 hours doing anything or if it’s a % less, and if the 2.6Ah battery can only deliver power for X minutes, will a 6Ah battery deliver power for (6/2.6) X minutes? Will the change in time of power delivery be linear or curved because larger batteries have more juice and use more juice?

If I saw a blade that would cut a factory leaf spring bolt in one shot and still be usable, that would be VERY impressive.

It's interesting because when you, say, double capacity, you also double the amount of battery. That means you can pull twice the power from it, or, in cases where the voltage sags under load (battery chemistry can't react fast enough, not enough surface area), you have half the voltage sag.

@PowerScissor 3 жыл бұрын

All other things being equal, a battery with a bigger capacity will always be able to deliver more power, with less voltage sag.

I had been hoping for this test as I knew from the manufacturers themselves that their larger batteries had performance benefits beyond just a longer run time. One thing to note from this that I had considered on previous tests is that battery size is a factor that should be controlled for in future tool tests. Fortunately I imagine you have accrued enough batteries at this point to make that pretty feasible. I didn’t however consider the possibility of a performance decrease due to faster blade speed on the reciprocating saw although as you said increased downward pressure likely would’ve corrected this issue or obviously just making use of the variable speed trigger which would once again allow the larger batteries benefits to shine making the choice to go larger a valid decision when balanced against the weight you are able withstand without fatigue during use. Also note that another touted benefit of the larger batteries according to the manufacturers is that they will have greater longevity allowing more charge cycles over its lifetime adding to their overall value.
