What’s inside the same battery? Kobalt 21700 and 18650 4.0ah battery

[@jordanalexander615]

The big difference people don't realize is the ultimate output can put the power down more aggressively. Tools that can't draw the extra juice you won't see a difference. But big impacts and drills you'll see a significant torque increase. But things such as vacuums that don't require alot of draw you're better off with the extended run. I own almost all the kobalt batteries and have noticed this.

[@jordanalexander615]

@@jsplasha okay my vacuum and drill to be more specific. It's a small shop vac it's a static draw rate. And sure maybe a small cheap drill. But the ones we use are the biggest DeWalt makes that are cordless and the high output batteries really shine with it. Same goes for the high torque impacts.

I hope kobalt comes out with an 8.0 xtr battery and expand there 24v outdoor tool line to compete with milwaukee

[@jordanalexander615]

Your wish was their command I bought one today. 8 ah with 21700 cells

[@hectormendoza4158]

Veo que kobalt usa buenas celdas en sus baterías que bueno eso es la vida de la herramienta Exelente video saludos desde Colombia

[@G59_SLUM]

It's actually a totally different battery considering the fact that it's using different batteries themselves so they definitely shouldn't have the same part number the only thing that's actually the same is they're running the same voltage the same number of cells in the bank but battery capacity wise the 21.700 hold a lot more power than the 18650s so definitely shouldn't be the same part number

[@AnsonBelvin]

It's not the same part number, you said the same part number when you read them but the ultimate output battery has part number KXB 424-03 vs old KB 424-03. Look at the battery in the video it clearly says KXB.

[@ClientGraphics]

anson belvin Nice catch as I totally missed the X in the KB. The numbers however are the same and I dislike it when things are so close but yet different

pro tip: watch series at Flixzone. Been using them for watching lots of of movies lately.

[@jamarialfred1360]

@Kole Justin Yea, have been using Flixzone} for months myself :D

[@ricardograyson5781]

@Kole Justin Yup, I have been using flixzone} for years myself =)

[@toolinhand]

Stanley does that too. I have 54 tooth ratchets and 72 tooth ratchets with the same part number, each size. Maybe they do it for warranty purposes? If you warranty an old tool, they just replace it with the new one.

[@brentdiez7012]

It looks like there are twelve 18650 cells and six 21700 cells.

[@ClientGraphics]

Brent Diez Sorry, looks like I accidentally cut out too much part of the 18650 cells. You are correct there is 12 of them.

[@loicao9491]

the new battery 21700 is little longer, last longer then old 18650

[@modhappy]

Dude, you have 17 drills laying around and decide to open that with a screwdriver?

[@PaulStregevsky]

All of Kobalt's 24V 6.0AH batteries have black walls. So it's a safe bet they all use 12x21700 cells.

[@jaybone9]

Strong battery and heavy lol. Made 250lbs outta the ½" stubby with ease

[@InvidiousIgnoramus]

I see no issue with using the same part number. Looks to me like they're replacing the older 18650 based models directly.

[@Beee_Ceee]

I like the housing on the extended better the ultimate battary looks like it will tip your tool easily

[@andrewhite4431]

Can you use Sun/Snowjoe/Greenworks batteries with Kobalt tools?

[@EP1CNELSON]

the part numbers are different KXB and KB

[@CA-xv1wd]

What brand 18650? Is it also Samsung?

[@AutobahnDan]

I think they should’ve changed the part number on the battery. Lowes practices on their website are not very good. They take forever to update their inventory and they have a track record of messing up prices. If I order a battery, I definitely would like be assured to have the new version.

[@amoscardoza5253]

Great vid my man!!

[@jonspitzley2801]

Would like to see if you put the new battery on the gen 1 tool will it give the tool a power boost

[@ajgreen868]

Did the ultimate output battery have a tinny smell to it? I have 2 of them and they both smell like that brand new.

[@ericgoins9125]

Mine is kb 224-03

[@MCEngineeringInc]

Good investigating! 👍🏻

[@eddiemelendez4445]

So witch one is better?

[@InsuranceIsLegalizedRobbery]

I’ve got the ultimate output battery new with the 1/2” XTR impact wrench kit.. after using the battery for just about a month, and those 4 battery indicator LED’s starting to mess up.. like after battery is fully charged up, it show only 3 bars.. sometimes 2 only…. and sometimes shows 2 bars lit up THEN check it back again and it shows 3… but never 4 full bars 😞! what’s the trick here, anyone got the same issue?! on the other side, I’ve been using the other extended run battery for about 2 yrs and it still works like a champ.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Interesting that they have the same part number there not the same battery

[@Duey_diditGarage]

Now that awsome at they have the same part number so it would be covered under warranty

[@ClientGraphics]

Duey_didit I wonder if they will be the same price since they have the same model number?

[@kamryn7496]

Has anyone killed one of these battery’s yet? I’ve had Kobalt xtr stuff for a year so far with both 4.0 battery’s an they still last long time

[@maxxearth]

Which one will run my daughter's electric Atv longer? That's the only thing I care about? After watching the video I still can't tell you.

[@amoscardoza5253]

Companies should not be allowed to use same part number for two distinct items!

[@neutrodyne]

On the newer battery they should do something like an A at the end of the part number. Simply to signify that it is the newer version.

[@Jujoji]

it's a KB (extended run) vs KXB (ultimate output) prefix before the numbers, Chris just had a mild dyslexic moment

[@rustytools4643]

You are clueless... THEY ARE NOT THE SAME PART NUMBER! I can see from your own video that the part numbers are different. The new battery starts with KXB while the old battery starts with KB. Make sure you have your facts straight before making a video.

[@amoscardoza5253]

Yo CG!!!
