one size doesn’t fit all. I quite like different battery designs. I have tools from multiple manufacturers, Milwaukee is my current favorite but Dewalt flexvolt is a close second. It can pump out 60 volts for high current tools.
- asddubs 5y agosure, I do think there should be several standard form factors, based on the fact that there's different voltage tools alone. But it can still be standardized so that there's just like 4 - 6 to choose from, rather than every manufacturer forcing you into their ecosystem of incompatible chargers and batteries.
- Scoundreller 5y agoEven within ecosystem I get confused. Can I use a Toro 60V chainsaw battery with their 60V snowblowers at reduced runtime? Or vice versa? I bet the answer on that kind of thing will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. edit: thinking further, can I just get an extension cable and put the battery pack in a backpack? I'd rather that than carry it around in a chainsaw form factor.
- asddubs 5y agobosch also has two incompatible battery systems for their cheaper green lines and their blue line aimed at professionals.
