This battery adapter allow you to use DeWalt 20V or Milwaukee 18V (M18) batteries on Bosch (Blue) 18V tools.

Along with the cost-saving benefits, Badaptors enable you to get more from your batteries that may otherwise never see the light of day. Simple to use and easy to attach, the Makita to DeWalt Badaptor clips securely into any DeWalt 18-20V tool with no movement. The cordless configurator makes it easy: tool bodies, batteries, chargers, lights, lasers, vacuums, etc.They've outlasted and out performed any other brand of cordless tools I've owned by several years, leaving me a bit of a fan-boy. Easy to use - The release mechanism means that attaching and removing the Badaptor could not be easier. It was odd, even though each generation was a same voltage, NiCd battery, there would be a slight change to a a bump or ridge on its case, preventing interchange between versions.

The truth is, manufacturers use these voltage numbers as a catchy marketing strategy to grab your attention.Battery Adapter DM18M is compatible with DeWALT and MILWAUKEE batteries : DCB183 DCB182 DCB184 DCB546 DCB547 M18B2 M18B4 M18B5 M18B6 M18B9 M18B12 M18HB3 M18HB5. Check out the size difference between the 2 amp hour Lithium Ion 20V MAX battery pack that came with my DeWalt Cordless Oscillating Multi Tool and one of my my beefy 18v XRP nickle-cadmium packs. More tool choices - Choose power tools to match the job in hand, not just the batteries you already own. I understand the adapter works with most, but not all of the legacy DeWalt 18 volt tools loose in the wild, but it worked with my whole arsenal.

Here's the reassuring part: both 18V and 20V batteries are made up of 5 cells, each having a voltage of 3. Whether you're a tradesman, DIY fanatic or you just have different branded tools in your garage; the Badaptor is something that will make your life easier, and save you money. Obviously, there's more than a little physical difference between the old plunge-in style NiCd and the slide-on Lithium Ion.

If your battery lacks these safety components, we recommend not fully discharging it and ceasing adapter usage when the battery reaches around 20% charge. The use of product imagery and branding are fair and in good faith, for the purposes of describing and demonstrating the use of Badaptor products functionality only.

I've never have trouble working two to three tools on a project, cycling between my three batteries. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.The only complaint I have is that it takes a bit of extra muscle to remove the adapter; it seems to latch in tighter than the 18v battery packs themselves.
