What Battery Does the DeWalt DCS575 Use?
The DeWalt DCS575 is a FLEXVOLT tool that requires a DeWalt FLEXVOLT battery to operate. Standard 20V MAX batteries will not power this tool. FLEXVOLT batteries automatically switch voltage to suit the tool they are fitted to.
About the DeWalt DCS575
The DeWalt DCS575 is a 60V MAX FLEXVOLT brushless 190mm circular saw delivering 5,800 RPM. A DeWalt specification sheet published by RS Components gives a 67 mm depth of cut at 90° (49 mm at 45°), a 57° bevel capacity and a weight of 3.6 kg.
Compatible Batteries for the DeWalt DCS575
Only DeWalt FLEXVOLT batteries are compatible with the DCS575. Standard 20V MAX batteries will not fit or power this tool.
| Battery Model | Capacity (at 60V) | Weight | Rating |

Recommended Battery
DCB609 or DCB612 — Circular saws at 60V draw significant current. The 9.0Ah or 12.0Ah FLEXVOLT batteries provide the runtime needed for sustained cutting work on site.
Minimum Battery
DCB606 — The 6.0Ah FLEXVOLT will power the saw; it is rated 2.0Ah at 60V and is the smallest of these three packs, so expect fewer cuts per charge than with a 9.0Ah or 12.0Ah pack.
Battery Compatibility Notes
Important: This is a FLEXVOLT tool. Standard DeWalt 20V MAX batteries are NOT compatible. Only FLEXVOLT batteries (marked FLEXVOLT on the pack) will work.
FLEXVOLT batteries are dual-voltage: they run at 60V in FLEXVOLT tools and automatically switch to 20V when used in standard 20V MAX tools. The Ah rating at 60V is a third of the 20V rating (a 6.0Ah battery is rated 2.0Ah at 60V).

Battery sizing, runtime & troubleshooting
Recommended pack: A 6.0Ah FlexVolt is the standard pairing; a 9.0Ah gives more cuts and better sustained ripping.
Compatibility caveats: FlexVolt only to run; FlexVolt packs also fit DeWalt’s 18V XR tools (in 18V mode). Don’t confuse it with the 18V XR DCS391, a smaller 165mm saw. We could not confirm whether DeWalt UK still lists the DCS575; DeWalt UK lists other 54V XR FLEXVOLT 190mm saws such as the DCS577.
If it won’t start or cuts out: No-start almost always means an XR pack (not FlexVolt) is fitted, or the pack is flat — fit a charged FlexVolt battery.
Runtime: No single official per-charge figure; by capacity a 9.0Ah pack holds 50% more charge than a 6.0Ah, so expect roughly proportionally more cuts.
Versus the adjacent model: Compared with the 18V XR DCS391, the FlexVolt DCS575 is a larger 190mm saw (the DCS391 is 165mm) and needs FlexVolt packs.
