“Unleash the Power: DEWALT PowerStack 5Ah Kit & DCS570 Circular Saw Review”

Testing the DeWalt DCS 570 with Different Batteries

DeWalt has released the powerstack 5.0 amp hour battery along with a range of tools, and one of them is the DeWalt DCS 570. We conducted a test to run the 5 amp hour XR all the way up to the 9 amp hour Flex Volt, and observe the voltage sag with each battery.

Test Methodology

We conducted three cuts with each battery, and moved the guide in between each cut to allow the battery to stabilize. After three cuts with each battery, we drained the power stack battery down to approximately 50% using a heat gun, which we tested in a previous video. Then, we ran three or four more cuts with the saw to see how the battery holds up after it has been drained.

Battery Performance

The 5 amp hour XR battery performs well, but it dips down quickly into the 16s and even the 15s, which is where the bottom half of the power stack battery ended up. The bottom half of the power stack battery acts like the top half of the XR 5 amp hour battery, which is interesting. The 6 amp hour battery outplayed the 8 amp hour battery in most of the higher demand tasks. As we moved up into the batteries, we could observe a huge difference in speed and performance.

The power stack 5 amp hour battery held up in voltage mostly comparable to the Flex Volt 9 amp hour battery. Although the power stack battery did end quite quickly, it did go down with good results. We tried to use it again, but it wasn’t going to work. We threw it back on the heat gun just to check the voltage, and it was dropping quickly. The power stack battery worked best with circular saws, providing good results on a smaller battery that most people typically use.

Conclusion

The power stack battery is a good combination with the DCS 570, and putting this battery with something that needs or wants a higher draw seems to work out. If you are looking to purchase this battery, it may cost more, but it provides more information to make an informed judgment call. The kit with the power stack amp battery and the DCS 570 is coming out soon, and we hope that the prices are reasonable.

We hope this information will be helpful for you to make a decision on whether to buy this product. If you have any comments or feedback, please share them in the comments section below. Don’t forget to give us a like and subscribe to our channel for more videos like this one.
