I wish the high output battery bl4040f from makita would makes its way over to North America its really disappointing how they are ignoring us.

It will come, but idk why it takes so long

Only taking ages because they dont want to change their tooling to suit imperial over metric.

You could look at it the other way: Bosch and Makita are testing their products in other markets before these come to you

2:00 By tipping it out, the button got held down. On some M18 batteries (mostly pre-2013, but they seem to have bought it back in the last year or 2), if you hold the button down, the LEDs flash in a pattern that gives manufacture date, number of charges, etc.

Who just told you that? I'm gonna have to do some experimenting...
@toolscientist5 ай бұрын
@BuildsStuff I've seen videos of it previously. Someone also commented on one of my videos that the newer M18s do it, too. They made me a video, but I haven't got around to analysing it. I was about to reference this video to tell someone that taking apart forge batteries could void warranty. Then I watched it again and noticed that you laid the battery on its button, so I think it was the button push and not a disassemble detection

Battery looks more refined. I think the pcb board basically looks the same as the cilindrical model. I'm not sure if stacks are much better. I think I still prefer cylindrical cells. My biggest wish is that the charging and discharging bms were more accessible. It currently has a proprietary coding system that limits charging and discharging any milwaukee battery without proprietary chargers, instead of having access to universal charging options. With the current battery technology advancements, I think the technology is too limiting on this issue

I've charged Milwaukee batteries with a car battery charger before when the voltage has dropped too low for the Milwaukee charger.

Yes. They could use 1 row of 5 cells using the same cells they use in the 6Ah batteries

They could also use the new molicel P30B which have 3ah and literally double the discharge current of vtc6 cells they use in current 6ah packs :)

@@BuildsStuff The cells in the 6Ah are quite prone to failure though, aren't they? Or is it something else? The consensus seems to be the the 5Ah is more reliable.
