Cordless Flexvolt grinders

“The XR FLEXVOLT battery is compatible with all DEWALT XR 18V cordless products“

Although normal batteries can’t be used on the flexvolt tools as they have a powerful motor that needs the more powerful battery.

I think the downside on a tool such as a grinder is the extra weight of the tool and the battery which will weigh a lot !

Yeah that could be an issue

Can that flexvolt battery with any 18v dewalt then

Yes that would give a 9ah battery on your grinder although as stated it would be a handful
They do a bigger 12ah also now! These big battery’s are only really meant for static machines like table/mitre saw really due to size

Good point. I can’t say I’ve had experience with the Dewalt. I’ve held the Metabo grinder which you can get the high power batteries for as low as 3.5Ah and it’s not too heavy at all plus the battery being twistable is a nice feature.

The flex volt stuff is great. Had gone off Dewalt stuff but have to say after trying their grinder, multitool and circular saw with the 6.0ah 54v battery I was pretty impressed. Not too heavy and nice to use. Sorry not sure on run time but was pretty good.
