china will copy them for under 100$ with the same samsung cells.
Are you saying they aren't already Chinese batteries?

lol. It's china vs china now days.
Or hell, even 4 or 5. I don't do construction anymore, but when I did, I would have loved to have a cordless miter, sawzall, and circular saw. Ones that worked well would have been even better!

Holy ****. Milwaukee is just stomping everybody's guts out with this stuff. A NINE amp hour battery? That might actually make those angle grinders and circ saws well worth a ****.
its probably their solution to dealing with makitas dual battery pack line.. instead of doing 36v and long runtime, why not just double the runtime of the 4.0 packs when the tools have enough power already.
although 250 is getting steep for a battery that is going to eventually need replacing long before a tool. sounds like contractor (heavy duty at that) grade stuff, like a guy who is gonna be on a roof all day and not coming off to get a charged battery.... even though they don't make nailguns lol.

You know that actually makes a lot of sense. To all those who say they need a 9Ah battery for an angle grinder, may I ask why? A 4-5Ah should work for 15-30 minutes at least under high load.

FYI I'd like to know how much they are going to charge for these, or if they're already in retail how much they charge, but I just threw 250 out there as a guess, but if I were to guess again, I'd take it down to 200.

Is that a ten inch?If 2 of those batteries could run this saw all day, the price would be worth it.

Because of the overcurrent protection on the smaller li-ion batteries. If you use the grinders for cutting and bog them at all the battery cuts out and stops the tool.
Already pushing a big blade on a sawzall will cause the dreaded cut out. ****** annoying. More cells / amp rating means higher peak current draw without cell protection cut out.

Never had any problems with my Fuel Sawzall and the 4.0 batteries. Used it on a big demo job. I brought my corded 15a sawzall but never used it.

I have the Fuel grinder, it's good for roughly 15 minutes of light to moderate (by corded standards) use. More like 8-10 minutes if you're pushing it's power limits. But... my brushed Makita with 3ah batteries was only good for 2-3 minutes, and there was no "use it hard" option, the overcurrent cut it off.
I'm assuming this is a 3rd (and maybe 4th?) set of series cells in parallel rather than just 2 sets of 4500mah cells... or maybe just larger cells. It looks oversized in the picture.

Because we need to grind for longer periods of time.

What, like a car battery that straps onto your M12 drill?

I'd say it's just their solution to cordless tool world **********.
M18 wood chipper?
M18 log splitter?
M18 forklift?

ROTFL.
Ok, I'll add:
M18 cement mixer?
M18 jackhammer?
M18 Hoveround?
M18 Prius?
M18 television?
Might be on to something there!

Some of us use grinders/metabos all day long, so yes....
For instance this past weekend we had some demo and fab to be done to a new product line at a food production plant that our company services. When there are 15 guys there and everyone has stuff to do and ur all running grinders and 6" Metabos and welders, and figting for places to plug in.... 15min of run time and 1hr charge isnt going to cut it for us to go to cordless grinders.
*Note, production food lines dont have much for accessible power drops or plugs... tends to all be hardwired in via the electricians lol.

So, when your corded grinder dies, someone needs to call the electrician to remove it and hard-wire in another?

Exactly and nobody wants to carry a bucket of batteries. I'm still using my m28 grinder, but with these 9 amp batts I'm going to get two and a fuel grinder. Does anyone know if they use a different charger.
