  • Wondering if the 8.0 Ah battery will work and if it sits flush against the side like the 5.0 Ah battery does.
    Thank you in advance!

  • I'm running the 8's and the run time is pretty decent. From memory I think I roughly get about 90 mins continuous cutting before they hit the 1/3rd level.

  • The 8.0 does work fine in the CSC SYS 50, but it does stick out a bit more than the 5.0—it won’t sit perfectly flush. Doesn’t affect the use though, just changes the look slightly. Made me think back to when I first swapped an Alkaline Battery https://vonikoshop.com/collections/alkaline-battery for a rechargeable setup in my gear at home—wasn’t as clean a fit either, but the extra run time was worth it.
