Hey everyone, I just got a brushless angle grinder and I'm looking to stock up on batteries. I've seen a deal at Home Depot for a set that includes a 6.0Ah, 4.0Ah, and 2.0Ah XR batteries for about $129. Is that the best deal out there right now, or are there any better options? Also, I have a rear-handled saw that came with an 8.0Ah FlexVolt battery; is it okay to use that with only FlexVolt tools, or can I mix it with other batteries? Plus, I've got a hammer drill with a 6.0Ah FlexVolt battery too. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

What model grinder do you have? If it's the DCG408B, the 9Ah FlexVolt and 8Ah PowerPack are your best bets—they really boost performance! You can often find the 8Ah PowerPack on sale for around $90-120, which is pretty reasonable. But honestly, if you're looking at that $129 deal, it's pretty good for the 2Ah and 4Ah batteries as they’re useful for lighter tasks.
That $129 deal sounds solid—usually, a good rule of thumb is about $10 per Ah when hunting for battery sales. By the way, I think you meant a 9Ah FlexVolt battery; it's versatile and can work with both 20V and 60V tools without problems!
By the way, I spotted Lowes has a deal on the 5Ah PowerStack for $99 right now. Just a heads up—your grinder really goes through batteries fast, so be ready for that!
Yeah, it’s the DCG408B model! Here’s the link: [DCG408B](https://www.lowes.com/pd/DEWALT-20V-Brushless-Grinder-Bare/5015742663).
