I'd bet the reason that Dewalt isn't doing 5min. charges is because of the current it would require to do that. 60min./5min. x 3Ah x 36V = 1300W! Imagine the contact area on the battery that the charger would need to handle pushing 36amps into the battery! You would need a connector like a Deans for that!
