I use DeWalt cordless tools and did not know this existed. Probably cool if on the go a lot but steep otherwise.

The article you linked mentions it at the end, but all of their flex batteries should include this port by default.

I suspect DeWalt won't add the port until a major competitor makes them standard.

I was shopping for some L-series batteries for some photography lighting and knew little about the category.

It took a while to figure out to compare listings on Amazon by the date the product was released to find what the newest product capacities and features were.

Only by comparing products this way was I able to figure out the best ones offered input and output across USB C and micro in addition to their primary purpose of mounting to any device accept L series. (Review count and rating average for out of date products confuses comparisons when looking for detail like this)

I don't use cameras that require this kind of battery so having this additional capability made buying a couple batteries for a single product type a bit easier to stomach.
