What battery does the DCHT870T1 kit include?
The DCHT870T1 includes a DCB606 FLEXVOLT 20V/60V MAX* 6.0Ah battery and a DCB115 charger. The DCB606 is compatible with both FLEXVOLT 60V tools and the full 300+ 20V MAX* tool ecosystem.
What is the difference between the DCHT870T1 and the DCHT870B?
The trimmer is identical. The DCHT870T1 is the kit configuration that includes a 6.0Ah FLEXVOLT battery and charger; the DCHT870B is the bare-tool version sold without a battery or charger.
How long will the included 6.0Ah battery last?
Runtime depends on hedge density and branch thickness. The DCB606 6.0Ah battery provides substantial runtime for large residential or commercial hedging tasks, and FLEXVOLT batteries can also be used in 20V MAX* tools when the trimming session is complete.
Can I use a larger battery for more runtime?
Yes. The DCHT870T1 trimmer is compatible with all FLEXVOLT 20V/60V MAX* batteries. Upgrading to a DCB612 12.0Ah battery nearly doubles available runtime compared to the included 6.0Ah pack.
Is the DCHT870T1 suitable for tough, overgrown hedges?
Yes. The 60V brushless motor, 3,400 SPM, and 1-1/4 in. blade gap are designed specifically for cutting through dense, woody, or overgrown material that would slow a 20V trimmer.
Does the DCHT870T1 have a dual-action blade?
Yes. The 26-in. hardened steel laser-cut blade has dual shear edges — both sets of teeth reciprocate simultaneously, reducing vibration and delivering cleaner, faster cuts than single-action designs.
