Dewalt 20V Max PowerStack 5Ah Battery Hero

DeWALT is launching a new 20V Max* PowerStack 5Ah battery!

The new DeWALT PowerStack 5Ah battery, DCBP520, features pouch cell technology, and is compatible with all of the brand’s 20V Max* cordless power tools and chargers.

The battery was previously announced in Europe, and has now officially been announced in the USA.

Dewalt 20V Max PowerStack 5Ah Battery Next Dimension in Power

As with the compact battery that launched last year, the new DeWALT PowerStack 5Ah battery offers numerous advantages over existing options.

It is described as delivering The Next Dimension in Power.

Dewalt 20V Max PowerStack 5Ah Battery Claims

Compared to DeWALT batteries 5Ah or less, the PowerStack 5Ah battery delivers:

Dewalt PowerStack 5Ah Battery More Power Claim

50% more power – “compared to DeWALT DCB205 battery, not in application”

Dewalt PowerStack 5Ah Battery More Work per Charge

50% more work per charge – “based on usable energy vs. DeWALT DCB205 battery, not in application”

Dewalt PowerStack 5Ah Battery 2X Lifespan

2X lifespan – “based on charge cycles vs. DeWALT DCB205 battery”

Dewalt PowerStack 5Ah Battery Internal Cell View

The Li-ion pouch cells used in the 5Ah battery pack have lower internal resistance compared to the cylindrical battery cells found in traditional 10-cell 3Ah, 4Ah, and 5Ah battery packs.

This means that the PowerStack 5Ah battery runs cooler, allowing for greater power delivery.

Dewalt 20V Max PowerStack Battery Expansion 2022

The new battery is an expansion of the PowerStack line, and was developed with power and efficiency in mind.

DeWALT has expressed that:

This battery can tackle more demanding construction applications compared to the 1.7Ah.

    Definitely using it with this: https://www.dewalt.com/product/dccs623b/20v-max-8-brushless-cordless-pruning-chainsaw-tool-only?tid=

    Also you say it is a similar footprint to the 6Ah and 8Ah batteries with a much shorter height, perhaps a better way to look at it is that it has a similar footprint to the 3Ah and 4Ah compact batteries with only a slightly taller height? Tomato tomato.

      Perhaps, but there’s only one size of 6Ah and 8Ah batteries, whereas there are multiple sizes of 3Ah and 4Ah batteries.

      We also don’t know if it will be comparable to or taller than the compact 3Ah and 4Ah batteries.

        Good point and agreed, I was just thinking that this is meant to be more of a compact battery, so compare it to other compact batteries. Saying it is smaller than the 6Ah/8Ah doesn’t do it much justice, as the current 10 cell 5Ah is smaller than the 6Ah/8Ah as well. Like I said, tomato tomato.

      Agreed on both counts! I had been kicking around the idea of picking up a M12 Hatchet to keep on hand while feeding the chipper, that Dewalt pruning saw seems like it would be even better.
      The 5ah powerstacks have been much anticipated. Only question remaining is what will they cost?

        The original leak had pricing at $179 each or $229 for a 2pk. All battery prices seem to have gone up in the past year, so I’m thinking it could be more like $199 each or $249 a 2pk, but that is purely speculative.

          Holy heck, cells are around $90/kWh at wholesale right now and this is .024 kWh so their markup on that 2 pack is nearly 500x. Sure there’s some cost for the packaging, assembly, and distribution but these things are apparently a license to print money.

          Won’t get a pouch just to have a pouch, it has to be better in a couple of ways.

          Pouch batteries are normally cheaper than cylindrical batteries. If it is, I’ll buy one. If higher, I’ll get another 4ah compact which is a sweet spot for power/size/price.

    I expect this to be the true workhorse battery in the lineup for the next few years. Not too heavy, but a lot more usable than the first Powerstack due to the higher capacity.

      I don’t know about that.

      The PowerStack battery has 5 cells. A FlexVolt battery would require 15, and it would have to use new switching technology as well.

      A battery like this requires a lot of R&D. A FlexVolt battery would require a LOT more R&D. I would bet it’s NOT coming soon.

        That was “has to” as in “I need it”, not as in “I have expectation of its imminent release”. I expect nothing to come from SBD quickly.

        🙁

        New switching technology would be welcome anyhow, the mechanical method has seen some sketchiness in my crews, and pouch batteries and new form factor would allow for small mechanical switches with SCSs or some other high current solid state switch.

            We were an early adopter of a lot of FlexVolt and several batteries (well used, no doubt) stopped working in 60v tools but would still operate 20v tools. All of the ones taken to the service center so far have been replaced (we still have a few). I haven’t done my own post mortem to be sure what’s going on.

            While our stuff gets pretty dirty in general, I would expect DeWalt to operate in those conditions since their marketing photos now show pretty dirty tools, and that sets my expectations.

    Also… it’s not on Screwfix (UK dealer). They were running a big PowerStack promo with a competition (drill some holes, take the battery off and put it through the hole, then reattach it and screw some lags). I thought they would have the 5.0Ah straight away.

      I was curious about that as well, the little knobs or tabs on the top of the battery near the release button. None of their other 18v/20v batteries have anything like that, including the previous PowerStack. They are almost reminiscent of the winged tabs on the 15Ah FlexVolt battery, as you said a secondary rail.

        Maybe I’m just not observant but it really seems like all of Milwaukee’s batteries have pretty much identical casings, save for the size. No special features on even the heaviest and bulkiest.

        I just took a quick glance at an old 5.0 and 12.0 and they don’t seem to have any of topological differences you point out among the various DeWalt packs.

      I noticed it too and have been calling them horns.

      But, they are NOT anything like what you see on the 15Ah battery.

      https://toolguyd.com/dewalt-dcb615-15ah-battery-cordless-power-tool-connection/

      Looking at how they line up with the sliding-connection groove, this structural feature looks similar to what is found on the 20V Max 8Ah or FlexVolt 12Ah batteries. I’d say it’s a structural rest for certain tools or chargers. Honestly, I’ve never give it much thought until now.

      The added structural features on the 15Ah battery is positioned well above the sliding-lock groove.

      Take a look at the 8Ah battery – https://toolguyd.com/dewalt-20v-8ah-cordless-power-tool-battery-dcb208/ . It has something similar, but with a lot more material. The PowerStack has just horns (tabs?) without the fillet-type material below it.

        My guess would be some additional impact/drop protection. That has the look of something they added into the design after testing. Could be they found a tendency for something to break/rupture in that spot if something got dropped on it or it hit at a certain angle. Notably it’s in the spot where the battery isn’t shadowed by the tool connection.

        The 8ah “gusset” looks like it might be a reinforcement of the case to prevent cracking along that stress-point between the tool connection and the weight of the cells.

        For the 15ah I think your call of a stronger connection to the tool sounds right.

      I wonder if there will be any attachments, so that the battery doesn’t fall to the ground when working at heights? possibly a bit holder connection point? My 9ah flexvolts have some bits of exposed aluminum, which I hear is for heat dissipation. Maybe there’s something like that between the wings.

        Dewalt already sells tether-ready batteries with separate part numbers. I haven’t purchased any as it was pretty simple to attach our standard tether system leashes to all our non-ready tools and accessories.

        (I used to buy tether-ready wrenches which were basically just a spring steel loop forced over the wrench handle, with a short leash. They cost twice as much. I stopped doing that.)

      I find it curious how the North American and the UK product lines differ too. Some of it makes sense, like the Alligator saw–that’s really a specialist tool for cutting poroton block and that doesn’t get used much in NA so I can see why they don’t sell that tool here. But not carrying those 18V packs in the UK makes no sense at all. A few months back when the DCS438 multi-cutter saw came out that there were combo kits available in the UK with Powerstack 1.7 batteries. We got the tool in NA but not kitted with Powerstacks. There’s also the ongoing question of why they offer a 10″ miter saw in Europe and Australia but not in NA.

How hard can it possibly be; the R&D is done, the tooling already exists, and it’s obvious there are customers asking for the product?!

      And the compact 21700 based 3Ah/4Ah are roughly 5″ x 3.25″ x 2″. So it is very similarly sized, more runtime, and likely around 2x the power (assuming 75A based on the claim it is 50% more powerful than the DCB205 vs. 35A). Nice.

        I just measured a DCB240 with a pair of calipers. I get 5.14” X 3.32 X 2.18”. My guess is they used the same package. Why reinvent the wheel. The variations can be from conversion from English to metric, variations in the molded parts, and the points where measured from. Not an argument just my $0.02

          Well to maximize compatibility with some devices that limit the battery size, Dewalt would probably make the battery dimensions the biggest they could be and still fit the old devices. There probably is not a single piece of plastic that is carried over from the old batteries, so everything is new but it’s not “reinventing the wheel” because “the wheel” wasn’t suitable for the new application.

          Of course, they’ve increased that size several times and have created incompatibility with some tools, and retrofit kits for others. The most widespread one being that old belt hooks had to be upgraded to make clearance for new batteries.

            I never said they were reusing the DCB240 housing s. It is plainly evident that every piece of it is new. None of the other DeWalt batteries have the “horns” that this one has, just like the smaller powerstack the looks are distinctive compared to other batteries. Not reinventing the wheel referred to using the same footprint for the reasons you describe regarding compatibility.

        • Franck B.

          Sep 23, 2022

          Um, you’re saying the new battery has “horns”. So… it’s not the same package, even though you said it is.

          Maybe your definition of package is different than my understanding. For instance, LGA1156 and LGA1155 Intel chips use a BGA package, but it’s not the same package, yet it’s the same “package dimensions”.

          Sorry if I misunderstood your intent, and thanks for clarifying.

      The claim so far is that this delivers 50% more power than 5Ah and lower capacity batteries, and so yes – I think it’s intended to compare to the power output of Dewalt’s larger form factor batteries.

      Correct. the 1.7Ah PowerStack and 10 cell 18650 5Ah are both good for around 800-900 Watts of power. Based on that 50% claim, this new 5Ah PowerStack should be good for around 1300 Watts, which is similar to the ~1250 Watts of the 10 cell 21700 6Ah/8Ah/10Ah, all while being the size of a 5 cell 21700 pack 3Ah/4Ah.

        The 6Ah is often left off the list of higher output batteries when Dewalt touts that feature (such as for PowerDetect models). Is there a reason that you’re aware? I haven’t popped them open to compare yet, I would expect the higher output batteries to be present but I haven’t looked.

        Craftsman also has a 15-cell battery using 18650s which I’ve seen somewhere listed as being higher output, but I don’t know that they have tools that will utilize the power.

          Sep 21, 2022

          My guess is simply that the 8Ah was released at the same time and bundled with Power Detect tools. It was the optimum combo of power, size, and runtime.

          Since its release the 8Ah has had 21700 cells (Samsung 40T) and new tools were specifically designed to take advantage of those powerful cells. While the 6Ah was around before such tools were available. That may be why they are “forgotten”. They originally were released with Sanyo 20700 cells, later changed to 21700 (Samsung 30T), so they are every bit as capable as the 8Ah packs.

          Craftman’s 9Ah battery is similar to Milwaukee’s, it uses 15 lower power hot running 18650 3000mAh cells. It is still probably good for around 1000 Watts, but heat dissipation is likely its weakness. And they have few if any tools that would need or greatly benefit from that extra juice.

      2.5 plus the 5 on PS equals 7.5
      Plus it’s smaller and has double the life span. Makes it worth it.

      Also this size means you can possibly phase out cells.

        That’s not quite correct. This new powerstack battery has 5.0 amp-hour capacity just like the older standard model DCB205 battery. The amount of energy in the battery is the same between the two. What has improved with the powerstack battery (other than the size) is its current capacity–how fast it can provide the energy it contains.
        A totally different example could be to think of bank accounts. If we compared a “powerstack” bank account to a normal one they would both contain the same amount of money, but the “powerstack” one would have a 50% higher daily transaction limit. Same amount of cash in either account, but one will let us spend it faster.
        For some tools this difference doesn’t matter, the new powerstack battery will perform the same as the old 5.0. But for tools which require more power the powerstack battery will provide better performance but no better runtime. In fact the run time might be worse if the tool is using more power, the same way your bank account might run out if you’re spending more $$$ each day.

    Lots of websites in the UK now are listing this as the DeWalt DCBP518. DeWalt have done a promo video too:

    One website has it listed at £130 GBP (in 20% UK Sales Tax), which is around $145 USD.
    The US is normally a bit cheaper, so probably will be $100 + TAX

    Seems dewalt could phase out cell form factor bats. If u can build this one for a grinder … should also work for the big 15 amph batteries.

    Looks about the same size as older 5ah battery, or maybe 4ah, which both last about half a day heavy use then charge up while on lunch. just a waste of money eye catcher imo. Still need a charger and multiple batteries. I’m not weak and lazy so a couple of ounces lighter? I don’t hit the gym like I used to so I don’t mind the weight of the tools and dropping down to brushless 20v tools n batteries after using 9ah flexvolt 7¼ worm saw and the gen2 sawzall feels like nothing anyway

    Ok, so the prices are not terrible but still, a 2 pack shows that the batteries are $175 each, but a single is $54 more??? I’ll be the sucker for the 2pack and sell on to a neighbor for $229 … LOL…

    I have a 5Ah that is getting low run time… a good place to start…but Dewalt..seriously, if these were priced at $189 each…

      Prices aren’t great but I’m sure they will be on sale soon enough. I picked up a couple of the 1.7 powerstacks shortly after they came on the market and I didn’t pay full price for them, I don’t think it will be too hard to find deals on these, at least if the existing 1.7s are anything to go by.

      Battery 2-packs are almost always more economical than single-packs. But if you only need one battery, one will cost less than two.

        The best deals for batteries are almost always when they come with tools. I currently have 10 AM f the 1.7Ah PowerStack batteries and I didn’t buy any of them directly. Just wait for a deal on a kit that includes them and sell everything else. Sometimes I pay about $20 a battery and sometimes they work out to be free. Black Friday often has really good deals for this purpose. Just 2 weeks ago I bought a kit from Lowes that was $299 for a hammer drill and an impact driver. It came with 2 PowerStack batteries and allowed me to select a free tool. I picked the reciprocating saw. If I sold each for $100 then the batteries, charger, and bag are free. As it turns out I’ll sell the drill and impactor for $75 each, the saw for $125, the charger for $15, and the bag for $5. So $5 for 2 1.7Ah PowerStack batteries. I’ll take that deal all day long.

          Usually, yes. That’s how I got my PowerStack 1.7Ah battery as well – with a 20V Max brushless jig saw purchase.

          We don’t yet know if or when there might be any promotions featuring the 5Ah battery.
