Can I use a 20V Max battery in an 18V tool?

The DEWALT DCA2203C 20V MAX Battery Adapter Kit for 18V Tools allows for use of 20V MAX batteries in most DEWALT 18V Tools. This adapter requires the use of 20V MAX Chargers - this will not fit in DEWALT 18V Chargers. This kit includes two 20V MAX XR Lithium Ion batteries, and 20v charger so you can be ready to convert immediately.

What is a 20 volt Max tool?

ATOMIC™ 20V MAX* tools are designed to be compact and powerful for a wide range of applications. *Maximum initial battery voltage (measured without a workload) is 20 volts. Nominal voltage is 18. Browse 20V MAX* Tools, combining lithium ion batteries, superior ergonomics, brushless motors and high capacity battery packs.

Can I use 20V Max batteries with Flexvolt tools?

However, 20V MAX Li-ion batteries cannot directly slot into legacy 18V tools without this adapter. Critical Incompatibility: DeWalt’s Flexvolt tools (60V) cannot use 20V MAX or 18V batteries. Physically, PowerStack/20V MAX packs don’t fit Flexvolt docks. Electrically, 20V is insufficient for 60V tools.

Which power tools are compatible with a 20/40v battery?

The 20/40V Battery is suitable for all Ferrex 20V and 40V Power Tools. The 20V Battery, however, is only compatible with 20V Ferrex Power Tools. The easy-to-use Activ Energy charger works for both 20/40V and 20V batteries.
