yeah.. i just looked it up... milwaukee uses 18650 size cells, they use 5 of them in the compact battery, 10 in the extra capacity battery... the compact battery is 1.5ah and about 2.8ah for the XC... umm, however, i can get 2.8Ah 18650 cells, five for about $35, giving the compact battery pack the capacity of the bigger battery pack, but the weight and balance of the smaller one.... and if i put these batteries in the XC battery pack id have nearly a 5ah pack... wow, cant wait for these batteries to die so i can upgrade the cells
and the best part about using these lithium cells is theres only 5 of them.. just five, not 15, so its so much easier and less work to test for bad cells and replace when theres just merely five
on ebay i can get 18650 size cells at under $3 a pop at 3.6ah capacity... i mean.. wow, screw the idea about having a corded option, with an upgrade in cells i can just really overhaul the battery packs to have an absolutely enormous capacity for their size.. awesome...
in fact, im rebuilding a motorcycle into a cafe racer, bike will be kickstart only and id only need four of these batteries to replace my heavy lead-acid motorcycle batter... heh
