We've got the regular charger but I think only small-ish batteries. The picture I had posted isn't clear, that might be the small battery too. I think the small one we have is 2ah, the "big" one is maybe 4. I'd like a 5, the 4 cuts out just short of when I'm tired.
The charge time on the standard charger isn't too bad, an hour maybe? Time to have a cuppa and relax a bit. The battery will cut a whole loader load of wood. So I haul it back and charge my batteries while charging the saw. Or, if I'm feeling really froggy, split the load... -Curt On Tuesday, May 7, 2024 at 01:31:52 PM EDT, dan penoff.com via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: Quite true, and something I mentioned previously. I just dropped a shade under $200 at HF for the saw, a 5AH battery and a “regular” charger. I had a gift card for $11, a store credit for a return for about $80, so my “net” was around $100 for the total. I would have liked to get the faster charger, but it was on sale this week and they were cleaned out of them. -D > On May 7, 2024, at 8:39 AM, Allan Streib <astr...@fastmail.fm> wrote: > > When you compare the cost of the Milwaukee you have to remember that with > another brand you'll need to buy a battery (or two) and a charger that you > would not need otherwise. > > Yes if you already have a compatible HF battery and charger then that changes > things.
