So you are saying that you are using a DeWalt battery on a non DeWalt tool and not seeing performance gains? To me that seems like a poor way to test, but to each their own. Also, one of the main touted benefits (tbd since they are still newer) is 2x the battery cycles which could be a good value if it ends up being true.

In any case, they are definitely pricier than the alternative xr batteries which are still good performers and may fit people's budget better.
I mean that's just not true if you look at torque test's 5ah powerstack review. He basically says it is as good if not a little better in some cases than the 6ah in a smaller form factor(https://youtu.be/4Vag90QnEFc?si=Vx1CVPFs5Uwo7LZ_). The additional cycles should be a benefit, but as you said I have no idea since it's relatively newer and lithium ion batteries last a while. As for using as you see fit, absolutely you are entitled to that and I could see that being an issue. Most people out there just use the brands batteries in the brands tools and don't fuss with adapters, and I guess that's the camp I fall into. Good ideas though for limiting power to extend the lifespan of batteries, I admire your willingness to dive deep into that to get the most for your money.

Got router and jigsaw. I was going to do the homedepot deal, but considering no tax and a better deal including batteries, pulled the trigger.
Those are the 2 that I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on... But I also need an angle grinder... Decisions, decisions...

If you're only doing light duty grinding then it's fine but if you do a lot, go with the flex 4.5-6" that's in a different deal. It's a lot nicer. I've been running mine since they came out 5 years ago and it's great.

edit: that deal is dead now but I'd still go with the other for frequent or heavy use.

There are 4-5 DeWalt angle grinder models, I am still trying to decide on which one to get. I may go with the variable speed flexvolt 416 or the 60v 418.

I'm saying that YouTubers did proper tests with DeWalt tools and scientific instruments and saw the same or worse performance. For me the problems were annoying security features that prevented me from using the batteries as I wanted. As far as battery cycles, no idea. I usually try to limit charge voltage to 20V, losing 5% capacity and doubling lifespan. That doesn't work out if I have no control over charging, so for me they don't work out.

Am I missing something? HD deal gets you the same charger and two batteries PLUS bag, Hammer Drill, Flexvolt Circular Saw and Work Light for $116 more.

If you need the tools in that kit and that are available for add ons, then yes, that is a much better deal. As I already have the tools in the kit and they don't have the ones I need in the free tool choices, I had to go with this deal instead.

I agree the HD deal is more bang for you buck unless you don't need the extra tools. Also, the HD deal is actually a 6A charger vice the 4A charger here.

If you don't need the bonus tools, you can also add two 1/2 impact wrenches to the HD kit and then return them and keep the kit for only $190.20 + tax. I didn't even need the circular saw and sold it on ebay cutting the price by another $100.

You're right they don't in my experience with multiple Dewalt brand tools. Buyers are basically getting 6.7AH of batteries (with a fancy logo!) which should be a SD value of $67, a 4ah single charger worth between $10-20 and 2 tools which average out to $94-99/ea. Any other calculations accept the "PowerStack" marketing boondoggle. It's not a terrible deal but not real slick.

You monster! How could you do this to me!? Now I have a multi-tool, a cut-out tool, a jigsaw, a router, a rotary hammer drill, and an impact wrench and 6 batteries coming!

Deal dead? I'm not seeing the $25 discount in my cart when I go to checkout. Shows $299. And I have all three in my cart (Batteries, saw and leaf blower).

FYI I'm avoiding buying any more powerstack. According to some reviews they don't really perform any better. I spent some time playing with the 5Ah and DeWalt is trying some DRM shenanigans with it. You have to put a resistor between some pins to get any more than 2A out of it with a non-dewalt tool. I still haven't figured out what it takes to charge the thing on a non-dewalt charger.
which review and which tool? the small power stack is meant to replce the 1.3, 1.5 and 2ah batteries. and on things like 1/4" impacts, wrenches and such they are definitely better. the PS will put out as much as twice the torque. not because the small power stack is so amazing, but because those old small dewalt batteries are total trash

in regards to the 5ah PS, it will perform about the same as a regular 5ah XR battery on most tools. but on something like 7" saws, on the dcf900 1/2" impact, the difference is actually insane. you'll get an extra 100+ ft lb tightening torque with the PS on a DCF900

the 5ah powerstack is about equivalent in output to the 6ah XR battery, but at half the volume and weight. also, the powerstack use stack lithium pouches which can take at least twice as many charge cycles before going bad

as far as your DRM claim, what the hell does that mean? are you trying to attach these to some other brand? have you tried rubbing your 2 brain cells a little and maybe considered it's the OTHER brand that plays DRM shenanigans? Milwaukee has two data pins on their batteries. if the tool doesn't get a reading from them, the TOOL limits the power draw. not the battery. Ryobi does the same with their "HP" tools.

I will admit that I haven't seen that many videos about performance and really don't care enough to find the one I remember. As far as attaching them to another brand, yes, and I'm trying to attach them to everything else as well. Solar panels, LEDs, motors... It's a battery. I'm charging it with things and discharging it with things. In this case, the PowerStack battery shuts off if I draw more than 2A, tested with an electronic load. It actually takes like 30 seconds at 2.0A, 10 seconds at 2.1 amps, and is almost immediate at 2.2 amps. Just because some other manufacturers lock down their tools and batteries doesn't mean it's OK for Dewalt to start doing it as well. I stopped buying Ryobi because of this, I have never purchased a Milwaukee product, and my future with Dewalt is now in question.

It depends on what you are looking to gain by using the PowerStack (runtime vs. more power). I have a gutter business and we've been using the 1.7ah PowerStack batteries for several months now in our 20v Impact Drivers and our installers love them for the additional power that is needed for screwing into dense wood/fascia/rafters. The drill doesn't bog down, so the screw goes in quicker and the overall runtime is actually LONGER than the normal 2.0ah batteries since they don't have to struggle (read: less frequent charging needed). Granted, your mileage may vary. If your use of the battery is for longer runtimes without much of a surge of power needed (ie: Light, Vacuum, Normal Drilling/Screwing/Cutting, etc), then the PowerStack doesn't provide an advantage, it actually has less runtime than the (non-PStack) 2.0ah batteries.
