I'm trying to decide between two battery deals: Lowe's has a promotion for two 4Ah 20V batteries plus a tool, while Home Depot has a single 6Ah 20V battery bundled with a 6amp charger and a tool. I already have chargers, but not a 6amp one. I've heard that the bigger the battery, the more power it offers. What do you think is the better deal for my needs?

The two 4Ah batteries are actually a better option overall, especially if you're using average handheld tools like drills or impact drivers. With two batteries, you can use one while the other charges, which keeps your projects moving without delay. If you run out of power with just one battery, you're stuck waiting for it to recharge!
Totally agree, having two batteries definitely beats just one!
Bigger batteries like the 6Ah give you a longer run time, but it depends on what you're doing. For heavy tasks, like cutting thick plywood, you might want the bigger battery. But for lighter jobs, the 4Ah batteries should be enough. Plus, if you can get them for $10 per amp hour, that's a pretty decent deal!
I’d still lean towards the two 4Ah just for flexibility.
That’s a great point! I never thought about it that way.
Thanks for the tip! That makes a lot of sense.
