5.2 ah cheaper than 2.6 ah ?

[Darren1972]

On the mainland of Europe the 2.6 is little cheaper then the 5.2 battery in nearly every web-shop I visited.
Cheapest I can find:
18V-2.6Ah at €67 excl.VAT
18V-5.2Ah at €72 excl.VAT

ahh right i must be just telling lies then

No the 2.6 Ah battery is not a standard in any tool.
You have to buy it as an extra battery.

BTW. You can buy a Basic version of a battery powered tool and then buy the type of batteries which you need.

That was the reason I asked as it generally works out that the batteries are "cheaper" in reality if you buy a tool that comes with 2 batteries, than if you buy the batteries separately.

But not so if you have to buy the 2.6ah on their own in the UK. I have just looked at quite a few UK sites, and they all list the price of the 2.6ah batteries as more money than the 5.2ah ones.

Does the lighter weight REALLY make using the tool that much easier...???? Its only about .28kg lighter.

not sure how much lighter it is but it cant be 28 kg unless you mean 28 grams when ime using it all day overhead any reduction in weight is better than none imo

He said .28 kg, which is a strange way to state it but 280g is a decent weight cut when doing overhead work.

I use a PDC so the battery weight does nothing for me. ;^)

Bought one for now, may get a second when feeling more flush.
Purchased from Nuts and Bolts via ebay as it was a couple of pounds cheaper.
