I've been wondering why Forge's new battery technology isn't being promoted more. It seems incredibly superior for various applications, so why haven't they phased out the older stuff, like HO batteries? I rarely see bundle deals featuring Forge batteries unless it's for lawn equipment. Any insights?

They probably need to clear out their old stock first before pushing Forge batteries more. That makes sense since they want to avoid having excess inventory.
They package Forge batteries with older models to tempt you into buying the higher output options. For instance, XC5 batteries are super reliable and maintain their performance even if not charged for a while. They're great for homeowners who might not use their tools often.
They're likely reserving Forge batteries for high-demand tools, like outdoor equipment. Honestly, some batteries are just overkill for regular use; most standard tools don’t need that kind of power.
Yeah, I've noticed a lot of 5.0 battery deals lately, which seems to confirm that theory!
