Dewalt announced Power Detect technology that can detect the battery used and adjust performance output accordingly. It basically means that slapping a larger capacity battery means you’ll get better performance output. Four new Dewalt cordless 20V XR Brushless power tools will feature the new power detect technology and they are a 7-1/4″. Circular Saw DCS574, Reciprocating Saw DCS368, 5-In. Angle Grinder DCG415, and Hammer Drill DCD998. All four are available now and each tool will come standard with a three-year limited warranty, one-year free service contract, and a 90-day money back guarantee. Individual pricing below. Also, they come bundled with a 20V 8.0 ah battery if you get them as kits and increased performance comparisons are included below for each tool.
