Inside the batteries on the most Popular Power tools: Ego Vs Milwaukee vs Dewalt Vs Stihl 4 k video

What happens here

The visual comparison continues by examining the external casing of the battery packs. EGO batteries are showcased for their 'overmold' design, which involves a layer of rubberized material applied over the hard plastic casing. This overmold significantly enhances grip, reduces slippage, and provides an additional layer of impact protection, which is particularly beneficial for tools that may be dropped or subjected to rough handling. In contrast, other battery brands typically feature hard, bare plastic casings, offering less inherent shock absorption and grip. This difference in external construction directly impacts the battery's physical durability and user comfort.

Goal: Understand the differences in external battery construction for durability.

What they say

then they've skipped out on the brick design and they've kind of you don't they haven't done that yeah they're lacking the phase change exactly yeah it's a whole system all the parts seem to be working well together and whatever is your weakest length of thing that fails first that's what's kind of matter most when you're years out you've got this battery 5 10 years should I be concerned when I pull a battery apart and find scotch tape should that be something that your words not ours I mean this is actual tape that they have in here okay so this is eel this is the steel battery the circuit board is in here and we can't get at it so would it be safe to guess that they've used something like this or would they have used something like this you think because we can't pull it yeah probably more of a potting encapsulation they've kind of done it as a final step that makes it inseparable so that you'd have to ding them a little bit oh okay my child sir okay and then we've got the same brick technology so all these cells in the bed or you're gonna be suffering are the hardest arresting Greenworks again the same brick design now Ryobi haven't laid their batteries on right is there any advantage to this design I still see interior batteries yeah I mean it's still the same typical brick and tribulation right what about the coating is this the same level one level one okay and then let's look at the DeWalt Makita and Milwaukee what are we looking at here because now we've gone from outdoor power tools to actual just power tools are just tools I mean first and foremost there are some differences between the DeWalt in Milwaukee and the McKee I'm Nikita is a 2p when I say to keep talking about two parallel rows of cells versus what you see right here three parallel rows of cells so with the two you're not going to get exterior so I'm sorry interior cells so you know okay well it's not naturally apples to apples but Milwaukee smaller battery they're gonna have a 2p then right so you do the same right but you know when you get to these bigger units what you'll see though is just again the similar kind of the typical brick design and you know from a protection core you're probably best to comment on that which you see right there on the board's yeah with Milwaukee we've got another conformal coating so kind of the basic level protection Makita and Dewalt they've used more of a topping it's kind of rubbery and just a little bit thicker okay let's let's talk about something…
