Default 18V battery powered tools. Or 120 volt packs?

Nicad and nickel metal are 1.2 volts per cell. For those,
you'd need 100 to make 120 volts.

I think DD was making a little joke, there, and referring
to 120 VAC.
But a 120 volt battery pack could be made very, very small,
if you don't
care about pesky details like mAh ratings.


Considering that it would require about 60 cells to get that
voltage,
it would be hard to make it small, even if the capacity were
very
limited.
