Deal Details
https://www.farmandfleet.com/prod...e-saw.html

add to cart, and a 2 pack of flexvolt 6ah batteries will be added to the cart for free automagically

do note that 6ah flexvolt batteries have a lower peak discharge current than the larger flexvolt batteries, which means the tool will put out less power. but it's still 2 "free" batteries.

FWIW the power increase isn't all that significant until you get to the 15AH, the 6ah uses 15x 18650 20S cells rated at 30 amps, the 9 and 12 use 30t and 40t 21700s rated at 35 amps, so only about 15% more power. The 15ah uses 30 18650 cells with a 25 amp rating, so equivalent to 50ish since you're paralleling the extra set (you probably won't get exactly 2x due to tool/wiring/etc limitations). I haven't noticed a significant difference using the 6 and 9s I have which jives with that. I think the 6ah is probably a good size with the circular, I don't have the worm style but I have the other flex volt saw and it runs through most wood easily, only time I ever had it stop was poorly supported sheet goods that bowed in and bound up the blade which will stop about any saw. The 20v batteries have a much bigger output spread due to the smallest batteries using only 5 cells and most bigger ones using 10 instead of having to use 15 (or 30) for the 60v functionality.

I'm holding out for a deal on the flexvolt advantage or power detect. The increased power from using large batteries is nice, but it's also nice to be able to use a lightweight lower AH battery when you have to cut at a weird angle or are just ripping 1/2" ply. The 12AH+ batteries you need to make this thing actually more powerful weight a ton.

I only have the 6ah batteries and this things chews through anything. Like big Mike said, only if you pinch the blade does it bog down.

I think you are missing my point. This saw can't use the compact 3AH 20v batteries, the 6AH 20v (really 2AH @ 60v) is the smallest battery it takes. That battery weighs 4x what a compact 3AH does and is alot bulkier. And I find lots of applications where I don't need the power but the reduced weight makes things managable. For example, cutting rafter tails in place. Rather have a 3AH 20v with an extra in my belt that hold this saw with 5 more pounds on it above my head for 20 cuts.

Bulkier, volume and height yes, but the slims are wider/longer. Also it only weights about 2x what a 3ah slim does (at most it would be 3x since it has 3x the cells, but they're smaller cells and there's a certain amount of weight you have no matter what for BMS, connectors, body etc). At that point unless you're going to use a power stack you'd probably be better off buying a cheap smaller blade saw for that job and something like this for heavy lifting. The "slim" batteries power density is better than the 1.5-2ah single stack kit batteries, but it's well below any of the double stack 20v and way behind the triple stack 60v.

I think I missed your point because it seemed you were talking about power.

"The 12AH+ batteries you need to make this thing actually more powerful weight a ton."

If you're looking for lighter and smaller 20v is definitely gonna win.
