What's the DEWALT XR 18V battery platform?
With the DEWALT XR 18V battery platform, you use 1 battery for all your DEWALT 18V (garden) tools. That way, you can attach the battery to a drill first and then to a lawn mower, for example. You also save money and space. In this article, we'll explain all the advantages and properties of the DEWALT XR 18V battery platform.
1 battery for all your DeWalt (garden) tools
You can use an 18V battery of the XR 18V battery platform on over 250 DEWALT machines. That way, you can quickly switch between various jobs. For example, sand a plank first and then mow your lawn with the same battery. With the DEWALT XR 18V battery platform, you won't have to keep looking for the right battery and charger.
Choose from various currents
The DEWALT XR 18V batteries have different currents. Which one you need, depends on your job. For long jobs, choose a battery with a high battery capacity. The higher the ampere-hour (Ah), the longer you can work on 1 battery charge. With a 5.0Ah battery, you can work twice as long as with a 2.5Ah battery. Do you only perform short jobs? A battery with a low current is the best choice as it weighs less.
Save money and space
With the DEWALT XR 18V battery platform, you can save money and space. You don't need a battery and charger anymore when you buy a new machine, 1 is enough. We do recommend you get at least 2 batteries. That way, you can continue working when 1 of the 2 batteries is empty.
