DEWALT has announced the launch of its first 20V MAX* tabless cell battery, the XR POWERPACK 8 Ah battery (DCB2108), for cordless equipment. Utilizing tabless battery cell technology, the XR POWERPACK 8 Ah battery joins the XR portfolio comprising 20V MAX* batteries and power tools from DEWALT.
“For a century, DEWALT has been a leader in driving the industry forward and bringing the jobsite of the future to life with products that push the boundaries of innovation," said Frank Mannarino, general manager of DEWALT, Stanley Black and Decker. “With the introduction of a tabless battery within the XR line, we are building upon DEWALT’s legacy of relentless advancement in tools and technology solutions driving superior power and productivity for our professional end users.”
XR Battery Line Includes XR POWERPACK and XR POWERSTACK
With the addition of XR POWERPACK and XR POWERSTACK batteries, the XR battery line now contains two batteries from DEWALT. The XR POWERPACK battery is for applications demanding power and runtime. The XR POWERSTACK batteries deliver power in a compact size.
The tabless XR POWERPACK battery supports energy flow by forcing energy through multiple tabs to distribute power, rather than passing through a single tab used in traditional cells. Designed with a durable, overmolded base, the battery possesses impact and weather resistance. To avoid workflow interruptions, the LED indicator provides visibility to the battery's state-of-charge.
