Re: Got 4Ah, not 5Ah, battery 18V (20V) - done right thing?

I found in a lot of cordless tools the higher amp hour rated battery the
better.  Generally I have not noted it for light load tools like a
cordless drill using small bits, but things like electric chainsaw,
angle grinder, etc it was very noticeable.  I do not mean just that the
bigger AH rating ran longer.  I mean it delivered more current in a
short fixed time period.  The tool performed better.  I've experienced
this with relatively cheap lines like Harbor Freights Bauer line and
with better pro and pro-sumer cordless tools like Milwaukee and DeWalt.
If you follow the YouTube channel "The Torque Test Channel" they mirror
this result with more subjective data across a range of tools including
drills and impact wrenches.

Interesting. My high powered tools are corded and I don't have recent experience with new battery tools, or much else that's new, I just prepped a 37 year old garden tractor for summer. Maybe the higher Ah packs are newer tech that performs better. Lithium batteries are still evolving.
