Great demonstration, thanks. I like the high performance batteries for things like my cordless angle grinder, which is quite the battery beast.

Thanks for the video!
When calculating for total centimeter depth it may be useful to adjust for Ah. Ie: 99.5cm/5Ah vs 129cm/6Ah.
That's 19.9cm/Ah vs 21.5cm/Ah. Less than 10% increase in heavy depth capacity.
Where did you buy the 6Ah HP battery from? I had a look a while back and couldn't find any except used on eBay.

I wonder if these batteries are meant more for their saws which struggle normally

The difference between 5 and 6 Ah is exactly 20% (more power in the 6 Ah)
So the 6 Ah battery performance, is actually not that good at all

it draws more power UNDER LOAD. YOU JUST TESTED" IT WITH NO LOAD
