Above is their technology page.  35C discharge.  5 minute charge.  

 

Anyone with good battery knowledge take a look at this?  Is this the no
worry cells that will convince everyone to go electric :-)

 

If only they live up to their advertising :-)

45-minute Optimum Charger and battery communicates throughout the charging
process using the built-in chip in the battery and built-in CPU chip in the
charger. The Charger also uses "Active 3 Control" for current control,
thermal control & voltage control

It seems that their DC9360 battery will use exclusive nano-phosphate
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, instead of the
familiar pod currently in use.
