DEWALT TOUGHSYSTEM 2.0 Dual Port Charger Review DWHT08050

[@Eknight21992]

I built a makeshift version of this for my Milwaukee batteries using one of the compact packout boxes. I feel like this is a no brainer for manufacturers. Great move from Dewalt.

[@justgregnow]

I’m a Dewalt guy with too many batteries. I’ve always wanted something like this, it just makes so much sense. I built my own with 2 fast chargers and the double charger. I’ll be sticking with my custom battery charging box. Nice job Dewalt I dig it!

[@dewalttv]

DeWalt guys are always a step ahead. 💪If you ever need a new solution, make sure to keep this in mind!

[@freedomconstruction]

I’m doing the same thing hahaha

[@SuperJoegannon]

@@dewalttv i had my tools stolen just after Xmas, Ive mostly replaced them all now apart from a couple. But the one thing I really want but can’t afford to replace is my 4 port rapid charger 😢 any chance you can send me one out of love ❤️

[@billrehm3590]

Why lock it , they will just take the whole thing. It makes it easy.

[@soulmanm12954]

I agree!!! Why did it take soooooo long??? Finally received mine and I’m very pleased with it! Charger works fine, not as good as my stand alone double charger but acceptable. Have loaded it with mostly 4ah 20v and I can say I’ve put in 20 batteries, three being 3ah 12v, and one big 20/60v 9ah, plus the DeWalt USB adapter!!! HEAVY, but I’m happy with being able to have all those batteries in one place when I need multiple tools going and not having to “hunt” down batteries!!! Thanks for the review! Thanks DeWalt!!

[@duncdunc76]

Totally agree that it's kinda curious why it's taken so long. But looking at other comments to see if anyone was going to make a comment about their own custom charging box may be the answer to the question. Im guessing most of us professionals made our own similar boxes years ago when the first storage systems came out so there might not have been a real market push for this. Good on Dewalt bringing one to market though as it looks to be a great product.

[@joeshaffer2506]

Nice to see there going forward I’ve been just putting them in a box with chargers in there might just have to go that route

[@mlw636]

Considering how useful it is to have a lockable box at a job site for a charger. I’d say it would be one of the best stacking system chargers. Theft issues is the biggest issue at some sites rather than tool brands choice. Well done dewalt, you outdid my Milwaukee pack out systems.

[@rowankeltizar5961]

Yeah I agree. Milwaukee needs to copy this.

[@gwall1789]

If it had a dual fast charger instead of 4 amps, I’d already own one. LOL

[@jeffreyyoungblood7438]

Just bought one for myself for xmas. Its worth it just for the charger system which is way less clunky than the chargers that come with most batteries. An yes, nice to have a natural place to store all my batteries in one convenient place.

[@jeffmorefield]

I love this charger. I can keep a bunch of batteries on hand. Excellent video.

[@dewalttv]

We think you should treat yourself.

[@jeffmorefield]

@@dewalttv I already have.

[@Elweenieloco]

I modded a packout box to do this but dewalt has outdone me by far.

[@dewalttv]

You know they say great minds think alike! 👍

[@workingmanrondoyle3287]

Great reviews video. I'm thinking your right about the heat build up as to why they didn't do it sooner. It would have be nice if they incorporated an inside thermometer and temperature control for at least the winter season. I couldn't tell you how many times I've left my battery bag in the truck during freezing temperatures and found out the following morning that nothing works😢. Keep up with the awesome work.

[@smellproofpirate1859]

I'm a dewalt guy through, wanted something like this ages ago so built my own in a tstak box, it has 2 chargers and a 240v USB socket. One power lead into the case and I have a charging station for all my odds and sods ( power screwdriver, rechargeable led work light and mobile phone charger) plus 2 battery chargers

[@ttgk8506]

I did the same thing with a craftsman tradestack box for $50

[@Agatonga]

i love how mine doesnt charge 12v. i love how the usb-a comes dangerously close to being bent when you close the lid. i love how there is no organization dividers or slots or indents inside to hold the batteries. i also love how it doesnt say on the back how many amps the fast charger operates at....unless it is 3 amps. i see 3. but that doesnt sound right, compared to all my other actual fast chargers 8A 6A...

[@nickbisson8243]

It does charge 12 volt, there's quite a few different size batteries making dividers senseless and it charges at 4 fan cooled amps

[@Agatonga]

holy crap...the 12s fit after all!, you have to depress the button to make it fit, and i was used to all other chargers without that plastic retaining cleat. 4 amps....is enough.@@nickbisson8243

[@HenryTarr-f5e]

Dewalt should snap you up as a product designer…

[@Agatonga]

@@HenryTarr-f5e I'm just another user who cares for the stuff he spent money on in the past.

[@rowankeltizar5961]

Another factor to consider with lithium batteries is temp. I normally have my batteries in the shed or in the truck which means that they can be subject to high temps in the summer and freezing temps in the winter. A battery storage box that was insulated but could also provide nominal heat would be ideal. Bringing my batteries into the house every night is annoying

[@LordIntrepid]

Yeah. I bought a Dewalt heated jacket just to use it to line a box I keep my batteries and charger in. Glued in some spare rigid insulation from a jobsite and it easily keeps things appropriately toasty. I'm surprised they went with usb-a though. Most things use Usb-c these days.

[@1steelcobra]

@@LordIntrepid It's got both, A on the inside, and a rubber-protected C on the back.

[@jronmanbuilds]

I saw images of a full width 2.0 charger. I don't know any other details about it. I would be surprised if it wasn't a 4 bay charger or at the very least faster charge rate that can accept the 15ah. There looks to be a pretty big expansion to TS 2.0 coming in the not too distant future.

[@dianneleetham4895]

Dewalt rep here in Australia saying this product isn’t coming into Australia. It’s ridiculous. Because now I have to find something else to put the batteries into. This product would be ewsome. Have a great day😊

[@9warbane]

It is here

[@destinationom]

I'd be interested if they made one specifically to charge and hold the larger flex volt line of batteries.

[@workingmanrondoyle3287]

Thanks for sharing this new charging tool👍🏻 I've been waiting for DeWalt to come out with this product for a long time. Its hard to believe they didn't come out with a lid down, shutoff feature to prevent heat build up 🤔 I can see this as an alternative to a caulk warming box in the tool trailer set-up during the winter months.

[@jnmc-vx4fw]

Great channel…..it’s practical for a diy guy. As a framer we mostly use 12ah Flexvolt batteries and you can’t close the lid with a Flexvolt battery on the charger and one stored vertically. So your very limited on storing flexvolt batteries inside

[@aigdallas]

Can't wait to pick one of these up asap

[@dewalttv]

Good decision. Check out www.dewalt.com/product/dwst08050/toughsystem-20-20v-dual-port-charger for where you can get one in your area.

[@bradallan4414]

Good review. Maybe mention to store batteries with indicator up. I don't put anything but batteries in my box, why would you? Loving my charger box, I am a drywall contractor and I just purchased the led light box that goes on top. Chargers are 4 amp each so its just not the 8 amp fast charger or the 6 amp one but way better then the dcb112 - 2 amp or worse the dcb107 - 1.25 amp. Keeps my batteries warm on cold sub-zero job-sites due to the internal fan while charging. I have 4-dcb203, 2-dcb204bt, 3-dcb240 and 4-DCBP034 powerstack and still room for more and also a couple stored in the chargers.

[@Stevej2013]

I hope they come to Australia. Thanks for you review

[@jakem9524]

The issue i have with this box is heat, and moisture, since its sealed when closed your not only making a hot box, but a wet one as well. One would NEED to have a rechargeable desiccant or two in to box for it to be viable storage/charger solution.

[@sdbszz706]

I keep my batteries on my tools, what would you say about the down/up sides of that? Would it degrade the battery faster? Or does it not make much difference If the batteries are off or on

[@WorkshopAddict]

So with many normal tools, I say no issue. BUT, with a Milwaukee jacket, if you leave a battery plugged in, it will kill the battery in 2 months, from my experience. Normal tools dont seem to have that issue.

[@CalabreseIT]

I wonder if you could also use the USB-C port on the back to charge a battery with the USB Charging Kit DCB094k?

[@WorkshopAddict]

Yes you can

[@emanuelfernandes9003]

It doesn't make sense to create a battery charger limited to 18v and Flexvolt.....so what about the 12v platform??? Do we use another charger inside the box only for the 12v batteries??? It's ridiculous....

[@grizzlydoutdoors5115]

For me the one thing that would make this great is if it had a rechargeable battery in the bottom so that I could charge in the plot I'm in. Instead I would have to unload all my charged batteries into the plot and leave this in the nearest plot that has power. Apart from that it seems like a neat bit of kit

[@frankierwhereyouralwaysast903]

Its cool but it doesn't lock onto the wheel storage system. They need to make a box that click in with the rest of the wheel storage system.

[@rogerhale6404]

Actually, that was 14 batteries total, with the 2 charging.

[@evanaaltonen3795]

That is true. However if you consult the tech sheet it’s 12x 5 amp hour batteries stored and two additional that are charging. So I believe that was his reference when saying 12.

[@chrismonroe9007]

This might be a little off-topic, I have the tough system Charlie cart and boxes but I missing the clip on the back of a box that locks it on to the trolley cart... Does anyone know where I can get some extra brackets for the back of the box to lock onto the cart

[@mbarton36]

If this is indeed dual 4ah charging, this will pay for itself quickly for anyone that’s trying to charge up their 20/60v stuff over lunch compared to the standard 1.5AH charger that’s typically included with the tools. I have a wall mounted battery storage system for the garage but being able to keep all the batteries I have together in one place on the tough system 2.0 cart is a no brainer. Would love to see a battery-to-battery charger where you could clip in say (2) of the 60v 12AH batteries and charge your smaller(3ah or 5ah 20v batteries) and or phone/peripherals etc while you’re on a job-site without power. Maybe tough system 3.0…

[@danieldwyer812]

Does anyone know if there is another compact product the same height so I can stack my tough system tool bag on top the two

[@jeremynoakes]

Yes the have a compact deep box that’s a bit taller that this

[@skygreen5939]

There's no way to charge the DeWalt 12v batteries on this, right?

[@WorkshopAddict]

There is not. 20v and flexvolt only

[@Lee-lb9qh]

Nice, I'm gonna get one of these

[@dewalttv]

You're going to love it!

[@minor25]

only thing is missing is a 12v Charger or at least an outlet port to connect a 12V charger

[@SiSiX]

Does the fan actually vent the box when it's closed and charging? Can't really tell from the video or the review. That would be my only hesitation on this. Otherwise great idea.

[@WorkshopAddict]

It does not. The box is sealed and IP rated.

[@SiSiX]

@@WorkshopAddict Good to know, thank you.

[@orijimi]

It's begun to be a strangely consistent aspect of your videos regarding DeWalt products that there be a very substantial number of batteries accompanying them on the table.

[@bobbuilder118]

That looks great. I need one.

[@txvet7738]

Lol…you must not have been very good at Tetris huh! Very nice idea and as you said why haven’t other companies done something similar.

[@mrclive5]

You didn't show us what's the biggest pack it'll take, will the monster 15 Amp pack fit?

[@KiNG_JAMES92]

Is it a fast charging box? I dont want it if it charges just as slow as the junk black chargers

[@cameronbrowning7612]

Is there a Milwaukee equivalent

[@XxdanactivexX]

wish they would have made it the larger size case with a 4 charger capability verses this smaller unit

[@commercialelectrician133]

Can you charge a phone if you leave a battery in it and not have it connected to 120volt like having a adapter

[@WorkshopAddict]

No

[@bossmanz28]

Rather just use my current setup. 4 port rapid charger 8 amp charging each port which is double this and obviously double the ports and put it on top of a toughsystem 2.0 box. Bam same thing and more space and more charging. Feet jus require some grinding away on the 4 port charger to fit a 2.0 box as it only fits 1.0 box from factory

[@pavelk2879]

enjoy grill box😀

[@panchogonzales3740]

So you can only charge 4 amp and over ?

[@denz5085]

When its unplug from the wall, can I still charge my phone using the dewalt batteries attached to the lid?

[@WorkshopAddict]

No. That would be nice though

[@JamesWHurst]

20-volt? So this won't charge the 60V batteries such as the DCS781 uses?

[@WorkshopAddict]

All 60-volt flexvolt batteries will charge on 20-volt chargers. So this charger will charge 20 and 60 volt batteries.

[@pablocastaneda896]

Gracias 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@joeshaffer2506]

Just looked it up pretty pricey think keep charging them the way I’ve been

[@professorgt969]

My guess as to why noone has come up with this type of idea until this is probably the same reason noone has come up with a worksite radio/sound box that's worth a darn yet either. I've owned DeWalt tools all my life (my Dad had an old Dewalt Radial Arm Saw, so that gor me started) an have owned two of the jobsite radios - both were pretty terrible. What am I looking for in a radio/sound system? Good sound that doesn't distort like hell at higher volume, and has pretty good bass. Then, give me at least a dual charger of at least 4 amp output with maybe switchable fast charging on at least one of the two ports, and dual 2+ amp USBs. Having the unit able to connect to the ToughSystem 2.0 storage system is a must as is of course the ability to run off of a 110V power cord. Then there's the common sense side of me that says if they did this, noone would buy anything else, so the current radio and all the other charges stop selling. Guess that's the price you pay for good product design and common sense utility. I may just buy one of these and then design a sound system that can run off it and will connect to the TS 2.0 so it can sit under this unit. Maybe take a DWST08300 Medium Case and mod it to be the sound system. OR, just to be a disrupter, I'd like do the same but instead use a Milwaukee Packout system. Problem is this box won't connect to it! LOL!

[@tonywong9095]

Would have been nice if the locking bit would block the box from being unclipped somehow, otherwise a locked box can just be unclipped from your stack and stolen.

[@markmallory185]

so this is tag/chip ready?

[@WorkshopAddict]

Yes, I show it about 3/4 of the way in.

[@steventaylor6057]

Will it charge my phone (via the USB ports) from the batteries (not plugged into the mains power supply)?

[@CrimsonDemon93]

I don’t think it does

[@steventaylor6057]

@JoshGardiner18 Hi, I bought one. Your right it doesn't charge from the batteries. However, once the warranty runs out. I will install my own

[@Intoxacajun]

It's cool but at $200 its to expensive for me. It should at least have the 8amp fast chargers for that price. If I can pick one up at a good sale I may get one...

[@ProToolsApproved]

Made one from the tough system medium box long ago. Way to go dewalt, day late and a dollar short.

[@Lee-lb9qh]

Na, they will still sell, better late than never

[@gerrygervais3778]

Will this charge all dewalt batteries

[@WorkshopAddict]

20 volt and flexvolt

[@brettkowalewski9535]

They need a four bay quick charger version of this in a full sized box.

[@metalmanexetreme]

I’d say liability, if something backfires in that box you now have an incendiary that could deal a lot of destruction relatively quickly. Take your own example of being left out on a hot day, now add something on top of the box(say a towel) and you have raised the likelyhood that’s gonna pop by like 2 or 3 times, and if you happen to be busy at a different part of the jobsite, by the time you come back it could be a flaming pile of 1000’s $ worth of equipment. The chance is low but it is there and no manufacturer wants to be responsible for that. If someone DIYs their own battery box that atleast removes liability from dewalt. I imagine Dewalt is only comfortable releasing this now because they have a 99% confidence that nothing like that could occur, likely has two dozen safety mechanisms to prevent such an event, or they figured some legal way of removing their own liability. Either way cool product, hopefully it pushes other manufacturers to try their hand at it. I’ll have to stick to a DIY approach since I run more then a single battery system. Cool for those that don’t though

[@render8]

Why doesn't it charge 12v also...🤦

[@frankb518]

Great Idea ! but......... for guys on the Job, if someone wants to " Borrow" your Box, you just lost all your Batteries!

How many amps does it charge?

[@kenethsoberano]

Only 4 amps. meh

[@jeffarnold1983]

Does this charge 12v?

[@WorkshopAddict]

No, 20v and flexvolt

[@MakingMadeSimple]

It'd be cool if they took it one step further and made it a portable battery charger.

[@WorkshopAddict]

? You mean put batteries in the box so you can charge your batteries when you dont have power?

[@MakingMadeSimple]

@@WorkshopAddict more-so like the box having a built in power bank so that it can charge batteries without being plugged in, whenever it's needed.

[@WorkshopAddict]

@Making Made Simple I was working with a portable power station today that cost 600 bucks and had a 1036 watt hour battery pack. It weighed about 38 pounds with the ac inverter that we would not need. So that would charge ten 5Ah batteries or five 9Ah batteries. This seems heavy and expensive, but plausible. I need to see if Dewalt makes a DC charger. If so, we could make this for much less than anyone would charge for it with some LIFPO cells. Is that in the realm of what you would want to charge remotely?

[@leandrolopez3446]

14 batteries if you count the ones charging

[@lylewaters6161]

This looks great! Until you realize that it doesn’t charge Dewalt 12V batteries. And it only charges at 4A. For the price, it should have dual chargers that are at least as good as the 1106 charger (6A and can charge 12V). Sorry Dewalt, I’ve got @ bunch of Dewalt 12V tools and I would have paid the high price for this if it could charge my 12V batteries, even if it doesn’t charge as fast as my 1106 chargers.

[@thehhoff69]

I'd like to see a non-ToughSystem version of this that's less $$.

[@parkerk7018]

You couldn’t fit a 15 ah battery on there…? you can charge a 9 or 12ah battery on it probably? but it’ll prevent you from storing more batteries below and the extra weight of the flexvolt batteries while charging with no batteries below will probably tip it over

[@Lee-lb9qh]

Lol why is tipping over a concern? It'll be attached to the top of another toolbox or loaded with stuff, it should be fine

[@tinman1955]

Pretty cool...but I already have 4 chargers.

A 2 battery 4 amp charger by itself is $119. This item is $219. This means you're getting an IP 55 box for $100. Also, the literature says it will charge a 20 volt 60 volt flexvolt batteries. So I am not sure what batteries you're referring to it not being able to charge?

[@kenethsoberano]
