Designed to be compatible with most DEWALT 18Volt tools, this adapter allows for the use of 20Volt MAX compact batteries, which can greatly enhance the power and runtime of your devices.
However, it is important to note that the DEWALT Battery Adapter 18V to 20V requires the use of a DEWALT 20Volt MAX charger to properly charge your batteries. Without this charger, your batteries may not function properly, and you could risk damaging your power tools or the batteries themselves.

Furthermore, it is important to understand that the DEWALT Battery Adapter 18V to 20V is not compatible with 20V/60V FLEXVOLT batteries. These batteries have a different voltage and power output than the 20Volt MAX compact batteries and therefore cannot be used with this adapter.
In summary, the DEWALT Battery Adapter 18V to 20V is a versatile tool that can provide you with increased power and runtime for your DEWALT 18Volt tools. However, it is essential to use the proper charger and compatible batteries to ensure that your equipment functions properly and to avoid any potential damage.
