Having the right battery back can make a world of difference on a job. When deciding which DeWalt tool to purchase, one of the choices you will have is whether to use 20V or 60V batteries. Each has its merits and can get the job done, depending on the application. Understanding the differences can help you make the best choice:

  • 20 Volt: 

20V tools and batteries are for low to medium demand use due to their size and amp/hour rating. They work in all applications but will have a more limited run-time and strength compared to 60V.

  • 60 Volt: 

When you need something that can handle a heavy load and run cooler, then a 60V may be a better choice. These battery packs can run not only a 60V tool but also a 20V or pair two up and run a 120V tool. You will experience greater versatility with the larger voltage.
