This could be great for camping if you combine it with solar for charging during the day and then use it at night. Can't wait to hear what the run time is like.
Colorado4x4Van it can't be charged by DC power, but they are coming out with different models which can charge off a solar power system and this model can recharge off the AC outlet on some of those.
There is portable generator that charges “solar”, 12v dc car, or 120v ac, and it can charge and discharge @ the same time but it is not quite 1800w close though. I am waiting until Dewalt catches up before I get one of their power stations, I really like the idea that batteries can be changed,etc.
I was about to suggest running a vacuum off this but I seen the end text where u said u did already. That would be awesome to have a full size cordless vacuum!! No need to hassle with extensions when you go from room to room. Great video!!!!
I run mine with the new 12 amp 60v flexvolt to run a small mig welder ar 80 amps for about 2hrs. Amazing pack , i just wish that you could of charge snd use as well.
@@Rev792 chopsaw, table saw, rice cooker, pressure washer, even a 500w heater...for like 15 mins. Best used for power tools as the inverter is modified sine wave aka not good for sensitive circuit boards. I think you may be better off buying an 18v 1800w pure sine wave inverter and tying the 9ah dewalt batteries in parallel
If you miss place that short charging cable... can you use a standard cord? It looks like the "plug" is flush with the case, thus some cords will not fit inside.
We use floor covering heat welders I'd be interested to see if I could put this between a spider box & the heat welder to get more consistent power to the heat welder. We often find spider boxes do not produce reliable power when running a welder
I look forward for when this comes to Australia in a 240V variant. Be great for running dust extractors or other tools which you cant get in cordless. Or even like run a laptop or something off it during a power cut etc.
humm. the guy mentioned 240v. but that is for fast charging only? The reason it takes 2 hours to charge is that you can only get so much power out of the wall.
The only thing that would make me buy something like this is if I needed this as a backup for a medical machine that doesn't already have an alternative power source.
Not sure who chose these two guys to do this video but after listening to the whole thing I don't walk away with a lot of confidence that they are fully versed in this DCB 1800? A supervisor/manager should probably review the video's before they are made public, at least that is in my humble opinion.
My 20 gallon husky air comp pulls 13 amps at start up, then rises to 15 amps once the tank is full and 155 psi is reached.. I use this to test my gas compressor once per month
According to the spec, Rolair 1HP air compressor in the video uses 8 amp, so 120x8 = 960W In theory, since the battery pack has 360W, if I don't count startup draw and conversion loss, it can run for 22.5 min. So, in real life, maybe it will run for about 10 to 15 min if the compressor motor restarts couple times? (with 4 5Ah batteries) I'd love to see if you can actually check the run time.
Tools In Action Dewalt announced the 9AH batteries just last week, no retailers seem to have them yet. The power units are apparently being kept out of the Home Depot stores until they get more market penetration with the flexvolt tools because the reality of the situation is that power station makes all of your existing corded tools off grid capable.
For just charging would I be better off getting four Flexvolt fast chargers? I am thinking I can get four 6hr batteries charged in an hour with four fast charges.
robalan57 thats what i do. I have 4 9ah batteries and charge them with fast chargers it charges all 4 batts in 70mins. I charge them with solar. Inverter
Adding 1 flex volt to 3 of the 4.0 batteries doesn't change the power, weakest battery is what you get, adding 4 flex volts would but weakest charge/ weakest battery amp is what you get
run time seems pretty small 9 minutes doesn't seem like a lot of time for running tools plus if it charges all 4 batteries at the same time in 2 hours I'd rather have a charger that charges them one after the other so at least I can use one in 45 minutes or so.
I have to say I just got mine and it's a little underwhelming sure it powers things but not fully. my shopvacs run slower everything runs slower but they do run
My fridge pulls about 125 watts / 1.1 amps while it's doing its re-cooling, then nothing while on standby.. So at 1800 watts, several several several hrs .. My apc ups 900va runs my refrigerator for 35 min..
It would be good for camping and emergency power ( if you had 4 fully charged batteries ready to go and some extras) can't see many uses for it on the jobsite,
So is all that this does is become a dock for battery's that can use the battery power to run things or is it its own battery and charges the battery's when not plugged in
Harry hey Harry. It has no internal batteries. When plugged in to A/C it will recharge up to 4 batteries simultaneously, OR, When not plugged in it can use 4 batteries to provide 120V A/C just like a generator... Thing is though, as soon as 1 of those batteries is drained the whole thing shuts down, it needs all 4 batteries in order to work.... Hope this helps.
15 amps is pretty standard, you don't get much over that when you do the plug is a little bit different, most circuits are 15 amp, that thing is pretty sweet just $$$$ but definitely a step in the right direction #tiacrew
here is or a modified custom inverter to run on 20V x4 pack for more amps OR 80V inverter like my Eaton EX 2200 RT 120V 1650W UPS for my servers run out of 6 x 12V battery in series 80V DC
Can't see keeping this thing plugged into car truck even with 24 v converter gonna be draining the shit out of batt maybe with truck running on a 24 v but I don't know is what you think
I did the comparable check on this to a similar output (1800W) generator. And it's true, you can by a gas gen for $180, 5 Gallons of gas $14-$16, a 12v USB car adapter $1-$5, and an extension cord all for less than $250. It'll also last over 24hrs, power almost any corded tool, and charge both the batteries and your phone... $400 for ONLY the unit is WAY too much. If it was $199-$230 I may go for it. Could have marketed it like a printer where you sell the unit for a lower price and keep "brand loyalty" through the batteries. It needs all 4 batteries to work. Even later on ppl who have corded tools would by bare 20V tools and such just because the already HAVE batteries... Could have been a marketer unit for flex volt tools also... It's better (and cheaper) to buy new tool kits than this. Oh well...
tensazero ....a dependable quality gas gen for 180...ya right....it's made for quick call backs,trim jobs,remote use,camping,tailgating etc....know what is for...if you want to bring a generator tailgating go ahead...load noisy smelly....if I'm doing a repair in an office building I can use this inside NOT a generator.....if I don't have thousands in cordless tools but I have corded tools..it works great....not intended for all day use...plus a can use all the batteries for my cordless tools.....can't put a generator on a cordless drill?......oh well
i dont see the jobsite use. but hey tailgate season. power a stereo or tv on the bed of your truck. if you guys add those run times. you might add one more buyer if its worth it. i like the no noise, over a gas generator at a tailgate
This is really awesome and I want one!! But I probably wouldn't buy one because its pricey and only good for a few minutes of work. Plus if you have to run a cord to the unit you might as well just run the cord all the way to an outlet
no, the math is not 20x4, it's 12v to 110v like any other 12v vehicle portable converter, i mean im not an engineer but we can already get 110v from a car battery
nope at home i have a Eaton EX 2200 RT 120V 1650W UPS for my servers run out of 6 x 12V battery in series 80V DC inverter are more efficient at more voltage on battery pack and its make it more small so 4x 20v pack on 80V inverter is totaly possible like this inverter 12V is only for convinience in cars but ONLY for that ... the professional inverter is 24-36-48-80V DC and i have see 120V DC inverter to 120V AC that is the more efficient but COST LOT MORE sorry for my english if it is bad :/ :)
Hey guys. Love the channel, this is a power inverter,, just like those ones you can plug into your cigarette lighter. To answer your 80volt question. You guys can't compare D.C. Volts (batteries) to AC volts, they are different. I'm sure you are thinking well what about flex volts?? That different because it has to do with just a motor, lots of motors are capable of running off D.C. And AC. And that is all there is to those machines,,, just a motor.. you would never be able to take a tv from your house and hook it up to DEWALT batteries and make it work. That is unless you convert it to AC
Watch out Dan the feds will be after you for trying to weaponize your Lego Deathstar battle station with your Dewalt Power station!! All jokes aside this a big game changer for remodeling guys no having to run cords everywhere anymore. Also you can run it inside unlike a generator. Cool stuff from Dewalt I'm impressed form a company that seemed to asleep at the wheel 2/3 years ago when it came to new tools.
Hello, can someone please tell me if the batteries 20v max - 15amps exist? Happens is that on the internet they sell only the power station without batteries and the batteries sold separately are not 20v-15amps, so l do not know if it works with other DeWalt batteries with fewer amps. l appreciate if you can help me.
Ricky Mcgrath according to DeWalt's website. It's a Patent Pending modified sine wave is compatible with both standard and electronically controlled variable speed tools. I still wouldn't trust it with motor tools, sure they will work but over time a modified sine wave will kill a motor.
mod sine wave is more for motor tool... electronics like computer and sensitive dont like mod sine wave ... motor tool is not really affect by square wave
pierre-alexandre lemay you have that opposite. Electronics, for the most part, has circuitry in the power supply that will clean up a modified sine wave. Where as an induction motor that is attached to the input voltage directly, like a refrigerator, does not. Sure that motor in the refrigerator will work. But since it's drawing more current than usual due to a MSW, the motor will fail.
I just did some calculation, and considering 45" LED TV takes 50W, that thing with 4 5Ah batteries can run that TV for 7 hours. But since there will be some loss when converting voltage, probably it won't last that long. Still, I think it would last about 5 hours.
Each battery pack has 90Wh (18V x 5Ah) That means it can provide 90W continuously for 1 hour. So, 4 of them would be 360Wh, 7.2 hours for 50W. But since there will be some loss, taking 30% as a loss, it would be 252Wh, and that's 5 hours. I'd still love to see the actual test. Calculations are just calculations, and it probably won't really reflect the real lift situations accurately.
The DCW1800 is not THAT good. Gives power for a little more than two hours . Some calculated that a fridge could run for a whole night on it or they calculated a day of watching TV etc. This power station gives up very fast if low energy consuming things are connected. Even if you just forget to switch the power station off the batteries will be drained within 2 hours . Recommend a good inverter and a few car batteries. Cheaper.
why? why would you choose this over a small generator, as for running indoor, well you still need leads for whatever your plugged in to! you also have the expense of batteries and the downtime whilst charging. so why
What would be really cool is if you could plug in a solar panel to charge the unit.
This could be great for camping if you combine it with solar for charging during the day and then use it at night. Can't wait to hear what the run time is like.
Colorado4x4Van it can't be charged by DC power, but they are coming out with different models which can charge off a solar power system and this model can recharge off the AC outlet on some of those.
Where did you hear about a new version that can be charged with solar?
I use a 2000watt inverter and 4 100watt flex solar and a small 50ah lithium battery to charge the dewalt 1800 with 4 6ah. Works like magic.
Best feature has to be the ability to run as a generator indoors
There is portable generator that charges “solar”, 12v dc car, or 120v ac, and it can charge and discharge @ the same time but it is not quite 1800w close though. I am waiting until Dewalt catches up before I get one of their power stations, I really like the idea that batteries can be changed,etc.
It's pretty cool that now you don't need a generator for small jobs with no power
I was about to suggest running a vacuum off this but I seen the end text where u said u did already. That would be awesome to have a full size cordless vacuum!! No need to hassle with extensions when you go from room to room. Great video!!!!
iiloverr yea DeWalt should make a cordless vacuum. that's a good idea
ive got the milwaukee cordless vac its pretty good kills normal 5ah batterys fast though but its not bad with my 9.0ah
yesac101 the Milli 12v vac unfortunately absolute crap. 1st Millie tool I haven't been totally satisfied with.

Is that a ridgid 18 volt sds below the TV behind Dan and Eric and behind the laptop? It looks like it.
I have been waiting for this power station for awhile. Love it! Need it! Want it!
Brien Why it doesn't run that long Over hyped
I just bought one with 4 9ah batteries and i tried a 80inch vizio tv and it ran for 7 hours exackly.
you really shouldn't run electronics off of this as it uses modified sine wave to create AC which can be harmful to sensitive electronics
Will it run a circular saw?
@@Rev792 chopsaw, table saw, rice cooker, pressure washer, even a 500w heater...for like 15 mins.

What planet are you from? Do you not understand we are just 2 guys in a garage chatting about tools
Oh damn! Hahaha
So want to get this. Awesome video as always guys!
That’s a really cool idea!
I've had mine on order since 7/2/16... When did you guys at TIA get this? I'm hoping to get mine soon!
So does this need the dewalt batteries attached to work?
So what was the run time of fully charged batteries? What was the battery voltage?
My 20 gallon husky air comp pulls 13 amps at start up, then rises to 15 amps once the tank is full and 155 psi is reached.. I use this to test my gas compressor once per month
will it fit like the tough box system in Dewalt job site tool chests!??
According to the spec, Rolair 1HP air compressor in the video uses 8 amp, so 120x8 = 960W
In theory, since the battery pack has 360W, if I don't count startup draw and conversion loss, it can run for 22.5 min.

I'd love to see if you can actually check the run time.
Why would the Flexvolt packs be better? Same ah right?
it probably has transformer in it that has 1.5 ratio from winding to winding which would take the 80 v to 120 v. obviously it's got an inverter too
great,but i dont know will this come to europe also? bc we have 230 volt here
Looks like they decided to pull this one from the market so quickly. I was going to buy one too.
I think they are just sold out
Tools In Action Dewalt announced the 9AH batteries just last week, no retailers seem to have them yet. The power units are apparently being kept out of the Home Depot stores until they get more market penetration with the flexvolt tools because the reality of the situation is that power station makes all of your existing corded tools off grid capable.
Can you guys test this if it can run the dwe7491/rs table saw? Like cut a 2x4 down the length and maybe split some 3/4 ply..
DeWalt should have added USB Sockets & also a12V socket. I'll wait...
I want a 70-volt socket for my ebike.
For just charging would I be better off getting four Flexvolt fast chargers? I am thinking I can get four 6hr batteries charged in an hour with four fast charges.
robalan57 thats what i do. I have 4 9ah batteries and charge them with fast chargers it charges all 4 batts in 70mins. I charge them with solar. Inverter
What is the input ? I need to be able to charge it from my car
This power station do you think that I can use it for my boat at ancher example to support my AC + a fridge?
If I put 4 batteries 9 amp will be ok instead of the 5 amp
Adding 1 flex volt to 3 of the 4.0 batteries doesn't change the power, weakest battery is what you get, adding 4 flex volts would but weakest charge/ weakest battery amp is what you get

Could it charge rv batteries if needed ? 2-12v
See how long it will run a fridge for.
lol
Vinny great idea
VinnyGoes I think I read/heard it can run a refrigerator 7 hour if you have four 6hr batteries attached. And it will run a sump pump a long time too.
My fridge pulls about 125 watts / 1.1 amps while it's doing its re-cooling, then nothing while on standby.. So at 1800 watts, several several several hrs .. My apc ups 900va runs my refrigerator for 35 min..
It ran my fridge for just over 2 hrs .... the fridge only pulls 150W ... something is wrong with this powerstation
Wow that thing is amazing. I could see myself using this for camping as well, to hook up lights or something. #tiacrew
i ordered one 2 months ago, and still hasn't shipped, where did you get that one from?
Seems the best thing to do is get 4 flexbolt 9ah batteries to run strong enough and to last
We need this for 40v!! Perfect for landscapers
It blows my mind...
Does it have a dc output?
It would be good for camping and emergency power ( if you had 4 fully charged batteries ready to go and some extras) can't see many uses for it on the jobsite,
come on, I have no business and I have 5 batteries at home. I have 1 weed wacker 1 drill and one lawn mower.

I was left with more questions than answer guys c’mon due some work before the vid.
Would have been a good idea to know the product before the video ????????
Is that a question? We don't have good ideas. We know that it is yellow
Not too informative. Run time depends on the weakest battery, and we have no idea if it was a 1.5, 3, 6ah or whatever.
try using it as a home generator.
How long would it run something like a TV?
I just did some calculation, and considering 45" LED TV takes 50W, that thing with 4 5Ah batteries can run that TV for 7 hours.
But since there will be some loss when converting voltage, probably it won't last that long.
Still, I think it would last about 5 hours.
Wow that would be a pretty nice run time. Thanks for doing the math.
Damn thats long
Would you guys want to test out those numbers?
Each battery pack has 90Wh (18V x 5Ah)
That means it can provide 90W continuously for 1 hour.
So, 4 of them would be 360Wh, 7.2 hours for 50W.
But since there will be some loss, taking 30% as a loss, it would be 252Wh, and that's 5 hours.
I'd still love to see the actual test.
Calculations are just calculations, and it probably won't really reflect the real lift situations accurately.
what do you guys do besides this for jobs?
This is it
how about a air conditioner can it run
good idea
Maybe a 5000 btu but not for a long period of time.
Is this still for sale
I believe so
240 volts I suppose is 4 flexpacks (60 volts each)🎯
Sorry, it doesn't work that way. No matter what batteries you put in it, it only puts out 120 Volts AC
that rolair compressor only draws 7 amps
seriously feel sorry for them, think about it, still need the gas to charge the batteries.
it's probably got some capacitors system in there...
LOL
4 multiplied by 20 Volts rounds up to 120V, right???? Edison and Westinghouse should check their math.
#TEAMDEWALT #TIACREW
lol only getting 9 minutes for a compressor kind of sucks. Id be more interested in this for the charging capabilities.
Ben Kempa they didn't have all 6hr batteries in it.
robalan57 that's true, though you're still not getting crazy runtime. Generator still wins in that regard.
if i can attach a solar panel to that ...then WOOOOT WOOOT i would so buy...cause that makes it so i can charge batteries in a no power grid zone
a cool thing.
Its obviously has a power inverter in it -____-
80v @ 1Ah is 80W
80v -> 120v would draw 1.5 amp for 120v @ 1 amp or 120W
That's not how it works. It is not a volt for volt trade.
nobody talks about the price of this unit. after purchasing the unit and 4 batteries seperatley you are approaching 1000 dollars.
I bought mine today at mardens with 3 4ah 20v and 1 flex volt 6ah for $371.99

The DCW1800 is not THAT good. Gives power for a little more than two hours . Some calculated that a fridge could run for a whole night on it or they calculated a day of watching TV etc. This power station gives up very fast if low energy consuming things are connected. Even if you just forget to switch the power station off the batteries will be drained within 2 hours . Recommend a good inverter and a few car batteries. Cheaper.
FYI, lithium manufacturing and disposal is far worse than gasoline
why? why would you choose this over a small generator, as for running indoor, well you still need leads for whatever your plugged in to! you also have the expense of batteries and the downtime whilst charging. so why
Wanted it bad, got it and doesn't have near the runtime as advertised. They are already on clearance. Awesome concept but no good
You can use 4 9.0 batteries with this!!!
$600 with batteries...ouch LOL.
William Sevier i can get them for 400 without batteries
