Power and Runtime – DEWALT POWERSTACK 5Ah

These new DEWALT 20V MAX XR POWERSTACK 5Ah batteries are no joke. I’ve been using them on my XR tools for a few weeks now, and the difference in both power delivery and runtime is noticeable. Compared to standard pack-style lithium batteries, the flat-cell design runs cooler and feels more efficient—even on high-draw tools like circular saws and impact drivers.

They’re slightly more compact than traditional 5Ah packs, but somehow pack even more punch. Plus, they’re lighter, which makes a real difference over a full workday. And being part of the XR lineup, these are built to take abuse and keep going.

If you’re in the DEWALT ecosystem and want serious performance and battery life, I’d recommend grabbing the 2-pack. As an Amazon affiliate, here’s my link: https://amzn.to/4kLUq16 – no added cost to you, but it helps support what I do.
