I'm in the market for a smaller circular saw that runs on 20V batteries. So far, I've only found the DeWalt model in 12V, which isn't quite what I need. Does anyone know of a good 20V option around 5.5 inches?

Check out the Atomic DCS571! It's a compact 20V saw with a 4.5-inch blade that's quite handy.
You might want to look into the DCS373; it’s an older brushed saw that works with 5.5-inch blades and is designed for cutting metal. For 20V, your other options are mainly 4.5-inch and 6.5-inch saws.
The 12V DCS512 is close at 5-3/8 inches, and I found it's pretty manageable. The best you could do in 20V would be the DCS565, but it's a touch bulkier. The DCS571 is nice for ripping but not the easiest to handle one-handed. If you're okay with the size, the DCS512 might be your best bet!
Thanks for the tips! I'm leaning towards the DCS512 since I like its size and balance. Now to find some affordable batteries!
