Arrow Metabo Announces 4Ah 18V Battery Pack!!!

Metabo is a brand sold primarily at the local supply store level, at lumber yards and local hardware stores. The company is known for putting out some seriously heavy-duty tools and sticking by them. Cordless, however, is something that we didn't think Metabo would be a market leader on, though they have a wide assortment of tools. Until now. According to our friends over at ToolStop, the company has just announced a new 4Ah 18V battery. That would equate to a new level of run-time, approximately 33% more, in fact, than today's market-leading 3.0Ah models. This could be HUGE.

They don't look much heavier or larger than the standard 3Ah. I wonder if the individual cells more compact or if they cheat on the way they rate hours like they do on the 10.8/12 volts and 18/20 volts
