Does it come with a battery?

No. It is compatible with all DEWALT 20V MAX lithium-ion batteries, which are sold separately. You need at least one pack and a charger to run it.

How does it compare with a corded 2-1/4 HP router?

DEWALT rates it at the same 2-1/4 peak HP class as a corded router of that size. The cordless design removes the cord, but heavy continuous cuts will draw down a battery faster than mains power would.

What is the plunge depth range?

The plunge base has a 0–2-3/4 in. depth range. A turret stop lets you set repeatable depths for stepped or multiple-pass cuts.

What can I use it for?

Edge profiling, dado cutting, mortising and template routing. The plunge base and turret stop make it suited to cuts that need controlled depth.

Any DEWALT 20V MAX lithium-ion battery. DEWALT notes the nominal voltage is 18V, with a maximum initial voltage of 20V without workload.

Is the motor brushed or brushless?

It is brushless. DEWALT says the high-efficiency brushless motor gives up to 50% longer runtime and better durability than brushed models.

Our take on the DEWALT 20V MAX XR 2-1/4 Peak HP Cordless Plunge Router

The DEWALT 20V MAX XR Cordless Plunge Router is a battery-powered plunge router built to match the power of a 2-1/4 peak HP corded router. It uses a brushless motor that DEWALT says runs up to 50% longer per charge than brushed models, and the plunge base has a rack-and-pinion mechanism with a 0–2-3/4 in. depth range plus a turret stop for repeatable cuts. It suits trim carpenters, cabinet installers and woodworkers who cut edge profiles, dados, mortises and templates away from an outlet. Its main trade-off against corded routers is that it runs on DEWALT 20V MAX batteries sold separately, so runtime depends on which pack you own.
