That added length is a big advantage in our application and a big reason why the Mac initially caught my eye.

As with DeWalt, the charger is a “smart charger” which allows for hot & cold delay, etc., to optimize battery longevity. The 30 minute charge time is right on par with other 1.5ah packs and while they lack a status gauge, I don’t see it as being a big deal in it’s intended application. It may be a small detail, but it improves efficiency and seconds make minutes. The dual voltage charger is especially appealing to us as we will be using both 12V and 20V Mac tools on our trailer. Our kit came with the ratchet, two 1.5ah lithium packs, and dual voltage charger (12V/20V). Powered by DeWalt batteries (both owned by Stanley/B&D), Mac’s new line is fully interchangeable with their DeWalt cousins as far as batteries and chargers go, an especially nice benefit for current 12V or 20V Max users. For us, Mac’s recently revamped cordless line provided the perfect solution.

Some races you might have 2 hours between moto’s, others you might have 15 or 20 minutes, but in either event, you can’t afford to be wrenching on your quad when you should be on the line.
