Better come with a super awesome battery, gonna take a lot to power a tool like that!

New tool expo. Milwaukee batteries are literally top of the line in quality but it can power the tool

Do they have a detailing forum like AG to support the tool?

So how many batteries would I have to buy to get through a 5-6+ hour paint correction job?

A couple diesel batteries should do it.

Yeah, I'm thinking a company like Rupes that has been making power tools since the late 1940's and has been an innovator in the industry for the past 70 years or so and just came out with the ibrid would be the ones to come out with a legitimate battery powered da.

"2008 Orbital polishing takes its first steps: the LHR 150 with a 10 mm orbit is developed.
With the DD 108, a cordless drill driver, RUPES becomes a 10.8 V lithium pioneer."

Here's a link to Rupes history, it's quite interesting, pay particular attention to the 1968 timeline. We have Rupes to thank for random orbitals.

I just don't see any battery other than what you said above being able to handle the motor that's needed to power a da polisher or sander and deliver the torque we need to accomplish paint correction.

OP when it becomes available please invest in the tool and post up a review for us on Milwaukee's detailing website. In other words, please support the the company the supports our forum.
