Make cumbersome generators and trailing power leads a thing of the past with DeWalt's XR Flexvolt range. Every trade can work faster, safer and more efficiently than ever before, taking on heavy-duty construction tasks without the inconvenience of a cable. Using cutting-edge cordless technology, this range of DeWalt 54v Flexvolt tools deliver exceptional runtime and performance without mains power even when tackling the toughest challenges.
The XR Flexvolt is a convertible 18/54V battery, so is backwards compatible with your existing 18V DeWalt tools. However, you’ll be able to amplify the voltage to an incredible 54V for a more heavy-duty tool! In fact, the batteries automatically switch voltage when you change tools! Rest assured DeWalt are not intending to replace the existing 18V range, they are simply expanding their range with bigger, more powerful tools.
Tool manufacturers are always faced with the challenge of balancing portability and ease of use with power and runtime. Larger tools generally require more power and therefore a larger battery, but heavier tools are harder to handle and transport. A compromise must be made. DeWalt engineers work closely with tradesman and understand these frustrations. That’s why they developed this range; to deliver a cordless system that makes no compromises. It offers unbeatable runtime for existing 18V power tools, plus all the power and then some for applications that are completely unheard of for cordless technology.
More about DEWALT FLEXVOLT
The battery
In DEWALT FLEXVOLT batteries there are 3 sets of cells running in parallel. When attached to a 54V FLEXVOLT machine, these cells work together to produce the full 54V of power. When connected to an 18V machine, the cells operate separately, creating an 18V battery with a larger amp power and significantly increased runtime.
