No Noise, Fumes, or Gas
First off, what you do have with DEWALT’s FLEVOLT portable power station is pure portable power. For example, the battery-powered DEWALT Portable Power Station brings 1800 watts to remote locations. The unit is perfect for providing AC power to most corded tools at the job site, mainly when noise restrictions exist. Additionally, without the need for gas, we liked that no fumes or carbon monoxide were emitted from the unit.
Portable Jobsite Power
The DEWALT FLEXVOLT Power Station can power corded tools remotely. Still, it also becomes an efficient multi-port parallel charger for up to four DEWALT 20V Max Batteries when plugged into an outlet via an extension cord (sold separately). Moreover, it runs on four DEWALT 20V MAX batteries. And, for high-power applications, you can use 3.0Ah batteries or higher amp-hour batteries. It provides 1800 Watts (15 amps) continuous power and 3600 Watts peak power. The Portable Power Station weighs just eighteen pounds (without batteries).
Our test worked equally well with standard and electronically controlled variable speed tools. For example, tools tested include circular saws, miter saws, routers, reciprocating saws, hammer drills, and other construction-orientated tools. What’s more the portable power station is a durable, convenient power solution for many uses. This is because it comes with an integrated temperature-controlled cooling fan and heavy-duty roll cage.
Portable Power Not Just for Work
We also discovered a fun side to the DEWALT FLEXVOLT Power Station. When the job is done, you can take the compact power station along on camping trips, tailgate parties, etc. Being clean and lightweight makes it easy to pack and tote around. The power produced by the DeWalt FLEXVOLT Portable Power Station is delivered as a Modified Sine Wave. So, running delicate electronics with it may not be the best application, but it will be safe to run standard kitchen appliances. Now you can bring your blender camping and tailgating.
The DEWALT Portable Power Station is offered in two kits: DCB1800B Bare Power Station without Batteries, DCB1800M3T1 with three 20V 4.0Ah batteries and one 60V/20V FLEXVOLT battery.
