I love this unit. The decision to purchase this was one of the best I have ever made!

[@scottjohnson3226]

I love mine! I can't speak highly enough of the unit. It is a portable powerhouse. Functions flawlessly. I run four 9Ah's in mine. I want another unit, but with four of the new 12Ah batteries!

[@jonsmith2217]

Have you seen the new 4 amp hour batteries for about $25.29 each? I've looked at the 12 amp hour batteries pretty expensive they don't seem as much value for the dollar. What all will your Power Station run?

[@randomrazr]

how long battery lasT?

[@rogerpilon2588]

Get yourself a Milwaukee or a Sogen, my ac 200 Bluetti blows this out of the water for less money.

redesign it put a cover on the battery with some vents and a lock on the cover and also make it smaller doesn't have to be that massive for just a charger and inverter inside it while at it add the ability to use 12volt socket to charge

[@bobseguin2195]

I think your better off getting a solar power station, way cheaper, runs while charging, charges by solar or ac, you can run sensitive things off of it. This thing cost $2,600.00 cad, if bought with 4 , 15ah batteries giving you 1200wh of power. The bluetti ac200l cost $1,800.00 giving you 2100wh of power, and you can run dc tools aswell.

[@goldiewanng1366]

PERFECT EXPLATION THANK YOU DEWWALT LADY!!

[@Ullimately]

The DCW1800 is not THAT good. Gives power for a little more than two hours . Some calculated that a fridge could run for a whole night on it or they calculated a day of watching TV etc. This power station gives up very fast if low energy consuming things are connected. Even if you just forget to switch the power station off the batteries will be drained within 2 hours . Recommend a good inverter and a few car batteries. Cheaper.

[@Rider670]

Hi! I am looking for power station wich will help me to charge teapot and microwave. Is it possible? If yes, please let me know the model. Thanks

are you guys doing a 220v version? for Nz and Aust

[@millroyboy07]

You can buy a cheap generator for less than the setup shown in this video Charging Station - $499 Four 5aH Batteries @ $150/batt - $600 + 10% Sales Tax = around $1200 USD. Home Depot sells a Westinghouse Dual Fuel generator that’s 10kW and has available 110/220 output for $1199. Much more practical. No one actually needs this setup.

How do u determine how long a tool will run on give batteries. E.g., tool has 1250 watt out put, running on 4 8ah batteries

[@jeffreyflat7986]

We have used the kzbin.infoUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!

[@skipmorgan2183]

You stated at 4:10 that the charger can only be used with 4 - 20v max batteries. Are you saying that 60v batteries can't be used with this charger?

[@andreasmikoleiczik6120]

You can use the 20V max batteries or the 20V/60V flexvolt batteries only. If the battery is only 60V you can not use it.

[@kennethfeld6639]

flexvolt batteries can be 20V OR 60V, so they work just fine, but they will connect as if they are 20V is all.

[@andreasmikoleiczik6120]

You can use the 20V/60V Flexvolt batteries, but how the battery attaches only allows the flex volt battery to be used in 20V form. A straight 60V battery will not connect.

I need to power a 30" tv for 2-3 hours? Will this do the job?

[@TemplarX2]

This DeWalt system is beyond lame. You should buy an ac charger , a charge controller and something like a 100 Amph AGM battery. Buy a 12 V tv or add an inverter to the system to power a 110/240 V ac TV. You could also charge your battery using a solar panel. AGM deep cycle batteries are a bit heavy about 20 kg but you will have more power for longer. You can actually fit all that compactly on a small trolley to make it portable. Plus this system can be used while it's recharging. You can add usb port, cigarette lighter socket etc to operate almost anything within the power limit of the charge controller or the inverter if you have one.

[@majstrujeme8352]

@@TemplarX2 OK macgyver next thing we are going to be mining iron ore... sigh

[@lorenguaylg]

I can't understand why Dewalt installed a modified sine wave inverter in this as opposed to pure sine wave. It's expensive enough but to not be able to use it for electronics, fridges, washing machines, or anything for that matter with a chip makes this unit crap. I ordered one and already have regrets. What's the point of powering up equipment with this if it just shortens the life span?

[@MrEnergyCzar]

Is there a way to attach a pure sine to it?

[@JokerGregor]

And why can I not buy this in Germany?!?

[@Golgafrinchamdent]

Any advantage to using *Flexvolt* vs *20v Max?* 4 matching 6ah packs.

[@kennethfeld6639]

Using 4 6AH flexvolt is the same as 4 6AH 20v max. Basically the higher the 20V rating on the batteries, the longer the AC power will last - for instance I use 2 9AH flexvolt and 2 10AH 20V batteries and i can run my fridge well over 24 hours and not even get a low power light. with 4 5AH batteries, I get the low power alarm in roughly 24 hours.

[@despew4716]

Can I have the demo model?

[@didierrosero3781]

Hello, can someone please tell me if the batteries 20v-15amps DeWalt exist? Happens is that on the internet they sell only the power station without batteries and the batteries sold separately are not 20v-15amps, so l do not know if it works with other DeWalt batteries whith fewer amps. l appreciate if you can help me.

[@FatMatt63]

You just need 4 20v batteries. The 15 amps comes from the inverter side. Not the batteries.

[@kennethfeld6639]

20v 15A is DC voltage/amperage. The 120V 15Amp output of the inverter is AC voltage/amperage - all you need is any 4 20v max batteries (or Flexvolt) 3AH or higher 20V rating.

Got a question: I found that the DCB1800 works well with my aircon and my power tools, measuring the frequency during use my multimeter gives me 60 Hz . When connecting my computer plus TV I dont get 60 Hz frequency but 180. Why?? My fan, consuming very little, makes a humming sound when it runs and it doesnt run at full speed. Why?

[@user-tq9uh8np1v]

Good questions. It's mainly due to the inverter and voltage output

[@kennethfeld6639]

it is a modified sine wave output, not a pure sine wave - that is why they say not to hook it up to medical equipment at the beginning of this video - it is meant for construction sites, not home electronics (I use it for home electronics anyway :)

[@Ullimately]

@@kennethfeld6639 some calculated that it might power a fridge through the entire night. No, it doesn't. It gives you maximum 2 hours of power.

[@kennethfeld6639]

@@Ullimately well, mine has been used for Hurricane Dorian, Bertha and last week Ian. I can say unequivocally it will power a refrigerator for 24 hours - At least the fridge at my place - maybe if you have one of those new fridges with the built in Keurig or some crap - it may not, but in my house and personal experience it does just fine - along with my CPAP as well.

[@Ullimately]

@@kennethfeld6639 can't be. If I just keep it switched on for more than 2 hours, without anything connected the batteries are discharged. Every dc/ac converter consumes energy just by being switched on. I have got another converter, there the spec even says that only the converter alone consumes 0.8A. In the description it says "No Load Current Draw: 0.8A"

[@MAplet1]

I have a growing collection of flex volt tools including mower chainsaw and drill. I purchased several extra 5 ah batteries to allow extended use of those tools. I would like to put all of those batteries to wider use and a battery generator was at the top of my list. I was very excited about this tool until I learned that its only output option is 110vac. Converting AC power to DC storage only to converting it back to AC again is way too inefficient for my purposes. When Dewalt starts selling this power station with a 12vdc output option, they will have my attention.

[@user-vr3pu5mn6d]

Can we use 4 x 20 volt/60volt flex volt battery so equal are 240volt

[@ammerconsulting]

It doesn't work that way. The output is always 120 Volts regardless of the size of battery you use.

[@kennethfeld6639]

yes, you can use flexvolt, but the input is still 20V, the output of the inverter doesn't change no matter what batteries you use.

[@lorenguaylg]

That depends on the sine wave created which this one creates a modified sine wave which in turn is not good for electronics. Electronics prefer a pure sine wave. So in other words, sure u use it for electronics but when they die from a shortened life span you'll know why.

This charger kzbin.infoUgkxknS1MWclRHOKWekYXnBJz8Ex0rEPnrGF works great with the DCB205 and DCB203, I've charged both a few times without issue. After I'd searched for a while this was the best value charger I found and it's new, boxed up well, and it's built as well as any charger I've had.

[@rogerpilon2588]

So you’re selling an old style, modified sine power inverter that adapts to Dewalt batteries with no provision for charging through solar for 400$ plus batteries. You’d be way better off to buy one of the many solar generators out there for less money, you get pure sine, 12 voc, 120 ac and usb plug ins....plus solar or 120 volt charging.

When I saw this I was stoked. Then I heard what it does. LAME. This unit should have its own internal battery that charges four 20v batteries not require 4 fully charged batteries to operate. HOWEVER... How sweet would this thing be IF you added 4 charged batteries to a FULLY charged internal battery. Imagine the punch it would hold. I could see myself coming home at night and plugging this baby in with 4 dead 20v batteries loaded and have the internal battery and 4 20v charging all night. If the internal battery could charge 4 dead batteries twice each upon depleting then sine me up. Pun intended. I need my dead batteries charged more than I need AC power. And for the love of fuck... Add solar panel tech to charge the fucking batteries and internal battery. I'm out of home to work, not drink coffee and use my personal " massager " Has any one gang charged four batteries with this charger then switched the four for four ? Hmmm what came first ? The charger or the battery. ANYWAY..? wisen the fuck up dewalt.
