CTC SYS with tabless batteries

[johnmpf]

Has anyone been able to compare the CTC SYS run time with the new tabless batteries vs the old batteries? Considering buying one, but the 10 to 15 minute run time is problematic.

Stay tuned...the tabless batteries aren't scheduled to be released for at least the next 2 months.

They're about 6 months away for us in Oz!

I saw something the other day from Festool, where it was suggested that the tabless TBX 4 wasn't going to be released until 2027... Which begs the question, if most of the recently released Festool cordless products will accept 4.0 batteries but not accept 8.0 batteries...why are the tabless 8.0 batteries being released first?

Ours are listed as Sep/Oct!

No way are we getting them before the rest of the world, that literally never happens!

Here it is...

Ok when I click into it on the Festool Oz site, we have the same page displayed as that, so I wonder if that means we'll get the TBX8's this year, and it's just the TBX4's that are 2027?

I hope so, I'm hanging out for the 8's!

I'm looking forward to the release of the TBX 4 as the only need I presently have for the TBX 8 at this time, is for the HKC and maybe, in some situations, the AGC 18.
