lithium-ion cells. They deliver two to three times the run-time compared
with their current 18 volt batteries. DEWALT is anticipating 2000
recharge cycles on the battery, which is a significant increase. The
battery is slated to be 2.4 pounds which is roughly the same weight as
their current 18 volt batteries. Otherwise, it will be a slide on style,
