Do you think a Cordless TS 75 is possible in the near future?

Newer battery technologies keeps changing the face of cordless tools every year.  We’re actually starting to see 12 amp hour (soon 15 amp hour) batteries becoming available to cordless tools)

With the 12 - 15 Amp hour batteries, a cordless version of the TS 75 and powerful cordless routers should finally be possible? 

The 5 amp hour batteries wouldn’t have much life on a cordless TS 75.  I’d hate to see what Festool would charge for a 12 and 15 amp hour batteries.
 
I think its possible but dont know if its probable. They havent upgraded te 75 in a very long time. Plus where would have to be a market for it.
 
It’s inevitable...used a Milwaukee brushless grinder today removing paint and rust from a motorcycle trailer for 4 hours non-stop with a 5.0 battery.

Yesterday I used a Milwaukee Sawzall for 3 hours cutting down Buckthorn trees. Nasty stuff.

Just a matter of time.
 
Hi,

technically possible? Absolutely!

I sure hope we're going to see tools like a TSC 75, HKC 85 ...

Kind regards,
Oliver

I don’t foresee Festool utilizing a dual battery system to power a cordless TS 75.  The 12 AMP hour batteries would allow the TS 75 to generate as much power as the dual 5 AMP hour Makita cordless on a single battery.

I think Festool would require a bigger battery to power a cordless TS 75 on a single battery.  The 12 AMP solves that problem.

And by the time your battery run out, and gets recharged you have to start all over because the buckthorn has fully regrown.  It's a loosing battle if you can't get all the neighbors within a 100 mile radius to burn it all down.

Amen...that stuff was eliminated last year by chemical spraying by the CP railroad. This year it’s back and it just never gives up. There are even local ordinances that require any buckthorn that’s cut down, be removed to a specific EPA site and be burned.

You can even fit a 7 1/4" blade on the Makita 36v track saw for extra depth if need be. It has been done by a handful on Instagram. I've seen it and it works with a few things to look out for.

Technically you have to think of the Makita as a 10 Amp hours unit with 2 5 AMP hour battery.  Festool will stick to a single battery if they ever make a cordless TS 75.  A 12 AMP hour battery is the perfect fit to make that happen.

We inching ever closer to the 15 AMP hour battery required for Cordless 3.35 HP Plus routers.  The cordless possibilities on a large and power router are more intriguing.

Imagine a cordless OF1400 and Cordless OF 2200.

I'm guessing that would void your warranty with Makita.  I can't imagine Makita would cover a saw failure if you were using a 7 1/4 inch blade in the saw.

Of course it would void the warranty, if you sent the saw in with that blade on it.

If the problem was caused by misuse of a 7 1/4 Inch blade, I believe the manufacture would be able to tell even if the blade was removed.
 
There's already a lot of BT proprietor diagnostic stuff on tools nowadays on tools you already own that manufacturers don't tell is there for purposes of repair diagnostics.  I know Mirka has been been doin this for some years.  Wouldn't surprise me if companies like Festool and Makita have also been doing this also.  Swappin intended blade size max allowed for a bigger one is probably an area that such 'Black Box' BT tech on their end could figure out PDQ.
