If you're checking out the DEWALT 20V MAX Sander DCW210D1, you're probably curious about how long it can run on a charge. This sander runs on a 2.0Ah lithium-ion battery, just like a lot of the other DEWALT 20V tools.
What's cool about that is if you've got other tools from this series, you can just swap the batteries among them with ease.
The manufacturer mentions the battery is solid for lighter tasks. Our research echoes that, though some found that the battery is a bit tight and takes some effort to swap out. Not a dealbreaker, but something to keep in mind.
For typical DIY projects or quick jobs, the 2.0Ah battery should be fine, giving you enough juice for things like sprucing up some old furniture or tackling smaller surfaces.
If you're planning something more intensive, you might want a spare battery handy. We found that having a beefier battery helps cut down on breaks, and DEWALT has larger capacity options that work with this sander.
So, for smaller home projects, the battery life is pretty spot on. But if you're gearing up for a longer, demanding project, consider grabbing an extra battery or a higher capacity one.
The whole DEWALT 20V MAX lineup makes swapping batteries between tools a breeze if you're already invested in their gear.
Basically, if you're worried about battery life or have lots of sanding to do, it might be smart to have some backup battery options ready.
