I wish these trash products would go away. Reposting my warning:
These devices NEVER have low-voltage-cutoff protection, meaning you WILL destroy your expensive dewalt batteries (by using them down below safe levels) as the cheap tools don't know when to shut off. Dewalt the battery low volt electornics are in the TOOLS not the battery, so these knockoff crap tools WILL ruin your nice batteries. AVOID AT ALL COSTS
I'll repost my warning:
Ill put this here to warn people about these shady devices that may DESROY your nice dewalt batteries
Reviews not the best. I will put my warning on this so people don't destroy their expensive Dewalt batteries on this device:
BEWARE: I do NOT see any mention of battery saving low-voltage-cutoff in the tool, so its possible this device will run your expensive dewalt batteries BELOW safe level, which completely ruins the batteries which cannot ever be charged again! This is not something I would buy unless the knockoff tool specifically states it has a LVC inside the tool itself (because Dewalt batteries do NOT have them onboard, its in the TOOLS)
Requoting to aware people on this problem:
"I would NEVER trust a non-dewalt tool. The battery cutoff is inside the dewalt TOOLS, so many non-dewalt tools (cheap ones without low voltage cutoff) will permanently ruin dewalt batteries (by draining the batteries down completely which makes them un-recoverable). I would NOT trust this crappy device to NOT destroy my nice batteries."
"Im not saying NEVER buy off-brand, but unless the off-brand tool literally brags about having "low voltage cutoff" in the tool itself, avoid at all costs, its not worth ruining your dewalt batteries (which cannot be recovered or ever used again).
You can buy the tool above, but you NEED to remove the battery after every single usage, and when using, check the battery level indicator every few minutes, and STOP USING IT if the battery level goes from 2 down to 1 bar, but NOT use at 1 bar because you don't know where the bottom of that last bar ends.
Hopefully I save a few Dewalt owners from trashing their expensive batteries"
Also:
Dewalt keeps their LVC inside the tools, NOT the batteries. Many people discharge their batteries past the point of resuscitation. And the "tricks" don't always work to get a battery back working. Google for plenty of stories. Many Dewalt batteries have been junked because of stuff like above, and inability to "rescue" them using hacks and tricks.
Not worth possibly trashing your dewalt batteries, just to save a few bucks on a shoddy chinese tool, IMO, but you're free to do what you want.
I just want to warn people so they don't unknowingly destroy their expensive batteries to save twenty bucks... Most people don't know about the dewalt LVC being in the tools NOT the batteries like many other brands have...

I'd avoid at ALL costs. Get a real leaf blower.
