Dewalt backwards compatable Flexvolt battery system

[reible]

Ah the "*" when they say 20V MAX* is on the package. I was just out at the local store today and all the new 20V MAX tools have the same "*" so as you can guess the new standard is the use of the word "MAX".

FWIW a lead acid(automobole) battery is 2.2v / cell = 13.2v when fully charged. The charging voltage needs to be slightly higher to get it fully charged.

Yes but if you ever measure a car battery for real it will be about 12.6 giving you a 2.1v per cell. If you have a meter go and check your car. Newer cars always provide a load on the battery.

That a design goal, or a result of other 'stuff'.

I think in terms of older more rationally designed 'features'.
