hi
it looks like a new slide-on battery 18V (20Vmax) "is around the corner" and of course tools to go with it
any news for launch / any pictures avail yet ?
any info on what kind of tools will be avail. at initial launch?
I read somewhere else that the new charger will be compatible with 12V max slide-on and can charge those batteries too!

I don't think you will see any specific details for a few months.

if it is a slide on pack they should come out with an adapter to go from slide on to stander pack and vice versa

i think dewalt just needs to let the old line go, and design a powerful, compact 18v line-up with a sliding battery. but the adapter is not a bad idea. |

You can find bread crumbs here and there on the internet, if you just know where to look? Maybe some type of government site.....? Or maybe even under Black&Decker's own website, something to do with safety...? |

i'm having trouble reading between the lines Yea, decifering the MS source code is easier....... The only slide pack they have is the 28/36 line and the new 12 max, so who know what is installed for next, but i am not holding my breath  |

Maybe www.fcc.gov ... Can't find anything Dewalt related there, other than one 12v max tool. |

You can find bread crumbs here and there on the internet, if you just know where to look? Maybe some type of government site.....? Or maybe even under Black&Decker's own website, something to do with safety...? I've put some time into this, and here is what I've discovered. Black and Decker website, under Lithium Safety guidelines I found a PDF file containing 2 lithium ion model numbers not currently listed in DEWALTS arsenal. DCB140/141, and DCB180/181. DEWALTS current 12 max is model DCB120. This would lead me to believe that these are DEWALT slide pack bats. You can see that information here http://support.blackanddecker.com/ci/fattach/get/109615/If you go to energystar.gov and type in DEWALT in the search bar, you will find another file for Energy Star rated battery chargers. On line 48 you will see a charger not currently listed in DEWALTS chargers. Model DCB101, it say's it will charge 12v-20v max li-ion bats. Found here http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBcQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.energystar.gov%2Fia%2Fproducts%2Fprod_lists%2FBCS_prod_list.xls&rct=j&q=dewalt%20dcb101&ei=N7dZTYvwA4v2tgPC1d2YCg&usg=AFQjCNE7KjoHUCrqdqaPPLi50rjKU2zhRQ&sig2=WKo98X3eKZeO_Ig_De6JNQAll of this would make me believe that DEWALT is in fact coming out with a new lithium line in 12v, 14v, and 20v. Based on the information provided above. Cheers! |

Go Dewalt Go! Enough waiting please! Milwaukee just released their 18v right angle drill today. Milwaukee is releasing at least a new tool per month.  |
