They work great on dyson vacuums with adapter. A lot cheaper than replacing the dyson battery.

Lowest ever on Amazon was $90 and average is $190.

This is from a third party seller, so buyer beware, but you can buy sold and shipped by Amazon for $102.

Go to home Depot and buy the sander and get that battery free. Then return the sander and it's about the same price for just the battery. But from HD

This is an odd battery if you're trying to use it for non-dewalt uses. Anything more than I think 2A current draw will turn off the battery. There's a resistor you can put in a couple of the pins that will allow higher current, you'll have to Google specifics. I have no idea how to charge this one with non-dewalt means. The 60V and regular 20V batteries don't have these DRM limitations, so I'm sticking with those for now.

Can you give examples of using a dewalt battery for non-dewalt uses? Are you referring to use with other brand power tools, using those battery adapters? Or something else entirely?

Home Depot sells through Amazon also FYI

Remember you can get an adapter to fit Dewalt 18 volt nicad batteries and they work very well.

Brands aside, usually do top brand batteries inherently perform better than their equivalents from lower-priced brands like Ryobi HP, Ridgid Max Output, ect?

I use dewalt batteries in other tools like ryobi and metabo. There are adapters readily available on amazon and ebay.

Wow this is good price for 5Ah Power Stack. Since my only Dewalt cordless is drywall sander and power pruning this should give me good runtime and make it much lighter to handle.

All of the above. I chose Dewalt for experimentation because I have access to individual cells through all the pins, and before this they had no DRM like Ryobi or Milwaukee. I have some brands of tools that I have few or no batteries for, so I use adapters to Dewalt. I regularly use a Dewalt battery to power a soldering iron (similar to pinecil, but I forgot ne name of it). I have a DC-DC lab power supply (Riden RK6006) that I run exclusively from a dewalt 60V battery, giving me greater range and power than most lab power supplies in a smaller more portable package. I've charged Dewalt (and Greenworks) batteries from solar panels. Many older laptops with 20VDC adapters can be powered directly from a 20V tool battery, but I'm using power delivery from the official Dewalt adapter for modern computers.

"You keep using that word...I think that word doesn't mean what you think it means..."

The PS 5a has an output management circuit, that works in conjunction with their battery management controller to not fry the BMC & subsequently the older tools.

Of the 2 PS batteries, it is only preventing overcurrent on the 5a model, the 1.7 does not behave this way.

Some vendors are updating their products to work with the 5ah. Specifically I've had dms with Mellif on reddit when 1st posting about the PS5 incompatibilities. They are working on it w their next gen products.

I can confirm 4 products of theirs I own, help gun, blower, hot melt gun & solder pencil, all work fine with the 1.7ah. Ditto for my Dyson V6 stick vac with adapter. The 5ah, no.

Now those using the PS w hopes of driving 24 , 27.5 & up tools, will have to wait until those adapter makers reverse engineer their buck convertor circuits to work with current protected outputs of the PS5ah.

Or you can go 18v Milwaukee forge & wait even longer.

Summation: the 1.7 will drive most existing adapters & devices; you need to look for new adapters or wait for manufacturers to upgrade their electronics to be PS5 compatible.
