Re: DeWalt: 36 Volt Tools!!

My greatest disapointment is DeWalt's marketing with this stuff. A123Systems claims it can recharge these batteries to 90% in only 5 minutes, with 10X the longivity of other types of batteries. I think that DeWalt should either mention this, or should have delayed release until it was actually possible. Their one hour charger isn't that special, many batteries can charge in half that time.

Also, these cordless devises are getting quite heavy, though that's really not an avoidable problem at this point.
