I would love to see an inverter that accepts the DeWalt 18V battery and puts out 110VAC.  Great for the occasional  corded tool use without dragging out a long extension cord.  Couldn't find any 18V-powered inverter on the Internet.

i dont think the battery would last long at all, if even possible.

I could see it being useful to run a laptop or charge a cell phone, etc.  Maybe even run my coffee maker while I'm camping.  Maybe we could see a new line of DeWalt tools, "Guarenteed Campsite Tough". 

Who is with me?

Lol.... maybe TTI will scour this site and pickup on it and add it to their 12v Max line!

They already have a 12v heated jacket... Don't see why they wouldn't stop there. 12v blender anyone?

An example would be a power planer.  I haven't seen a DeWalt cordless planer.  And perhaps an AC-powered stapler; the cordless staplers are pretty wimpy.

You could make one yourself or use a normal dual voltage car inverter like this one:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/Car-DC-12V-24V-AC-220V-Power-Inverter-Adapter-USB-/280713318797?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item415bd1518d

For laptop charging, it's a piece of cake to make one using a DC-DC stepdown off eBay. Won't work with new 20v max batteries tho - no low voltage cutoff circuit in the battery.
