Edit: looks like OP fixed it.
The smaller (original) 1.7ah powerstack is the tits 👌. Strong, tiny, light, obviously not the same capacity but need to get a big 5ah battery to match the power.

Part of the marketing strategy could be to give 20v tools a longer lifespan, by selling 20 volt only batteries, as well as, maybe, phasing out standard 20 volt batteries because their value has went down so much.
Milwaukee does the same thing. They don't want their customer base to be angry by abandoning 18v. However, they are in a pickle now, since they started doing the double battery tools. They won't be able to use any new battery platform they develop with those tools, so they will be orphaned.
Dewalt made the right choice by making 60v backwards compatible to 20v tools.
PowerStack just didn't scale well. Honestly, even the small one doesn't have the capacity of the 2ah battery. I'm betting if they had made a 2ah powerstack, it would have been as big as the standard 2ah battery.
Current delivery is impressive in the 1.7, but current delivery with the 5ah is equivalent to the standard batteries that size.
It's the DCF900 and it's a beast
Hopefully this hack works
My understanding is I don't pickup the battery if I want the tool correct?
