Last Updated: 17th January, 2020

20V Lithium Ion tools use the same batteries, regardless of brand? Porter Cable, DeWalt, Craftsman, Black & Decker, & Mac Tools all seem to use the same 20v lithium ion battery system system, as if made by the same parent company.

Also to know is, are Craftsman and Dewalt batteries interchangeable?

Q: Will this battery work on the 20V MAX dewalt drills since B&D makes both of them? Q: Does anyone know if the battery on this drill would fit and work with the Craftsman Bolt-On 20 Volt Max drill? Q: Is it interchangeable with 20 volt Dewalt? No, these are not interchangeable.

Similarly, are craftsman and Porter Cable Batteries interchangeable? Craftsman Bolt On and B&D Matrix are fully interchangeable, batteries and tool heads. Same tools with different branding. IIRC from a post a while ago, porter cable 12v and black and decker 12v are compatible if you remove a small tab from the porter cable battery. It's how they keep you in brand.

Also, are Craftsman 20v batteries interchangeable?

NO, Craftsman V20 and 20V Max cordless power tools, batteries, and chargers, are not cross-platform compatible.

Are 18v and 20v Dewalt batteries interchangeable?

Dewalt's “20V Max” cordless power tool line is not at all compatible with their 18V line, except for their multi-port vacuum.

Whats better craftsman or Dewalt?

Craftsman has an industrial line and a consumer line. So, while there are exceptions, the Dewalt power tool will be made with a better class of components than the Craftsman tool and will have a longer life if used in the same way, and a three-year warranty period as opposed to 1 year for Craftsman cordless tools.

Will Dewalt batteries fit Milwaukee?

Then there is this lighting tool system that can use Dewalt, Makita and soon Milwaukee batteries. Dewalt has also has a 18v battery adapter to use with the 20v batteries. (Posted on Toolguyd first).

Which is better DeWalt or Makita?

From experience, DeWalt's 20-volt drill has a bit more torque than the Makita, although the difference is rather negligible. The DeWalt is also a fair bit heavier/bulkier - with its 3-speed transmission and big 20-volt battery - than the leaner/slimmer 2-speed Makita.

Is craftsman made by DeWalt?

Craftsman, the 90-year-old beloved and more recently derided tool brand, just announced its next generation of tools. Last year Sears sold the iconic tool company to Stanley Black & Decker, and we've all been waiting to see what the maker of Dewalt, Porter-Cable, and Black & Decker would do with Craftsman.

Are Porter Cable and DeWalt batteries interchangeable?

But you would think are porter cable and dewalt batteries are interchangeable? These both contains the 20Volts are interchangeable. They both make use of the lithium ion cells that helps for the powering of the tool. The modification that is needs as like cutting the notch on either side of the batteries.

Can you use a 60v DeWalt battery on a 20v tool?

Yes, the 20/60v battery works on 20v Dewalt tools, but also adds more weight t… see more. 2 20v 5.0ah batteries get you a total of 10ah of power when compared to 6ah from the 20/60v battery. Only reason to by the 20/60v battery is if you are buying the 60v and 120v Dewalt tools and tool accessories.

Can you use a 40v battery in a 20v tool?

No, not without intervening circuitry to step down the voltage to 20 volts. You can generally use a higher capacity battery (that is one with more amp hours and thus run time) but the battery itself has to be 20 volts. Higher voltages will destroy the tool.

Can I use a 20v battery in a 12v Dewalt drill?

Standard DeWalt 20 volt batteries are compatible with all 20-volt tools, as well as all 20-volt chargers. DeWalt 20v MAX batteries can't be used in FlexVolt 60v and 120v MAX tools, however. The lower voltage doesn't provide enough juice for the high-demand motors.

Are Milwaukee and Bosch batteries interchangeable?

Thanks for clearing that up. The arrangement of the battery pack is rotated 180 from the Milwaukee vs. The Bosch. These batteries are all probably made in the same plant and have small differences layout wise to make them incompatible.

Do Ryobi batteries fit Milwaukee?

In that case, the batteries are all 18V One+ compatibility, but you might see different performance. Ryobi came out with a cordless fan, and then Ridgid, and also Milwaukee. Even two Canon dSLRs or two point and shoot cameras will have different battery sizes. The same is true for other brands.

Is Porter Cable going away?

Porter Cable Has Not Come Out With Any New Tools Lately. Porter Cable, a still well-known Stanley Black & Decker brand of power tools, air tools, and woodworking tools, hasn't come out with anything new in quite some time.

Do Dewalt batteries fit Bostitch?

The Bostitch tools are likely designed and engineered by the same team that designed the Dewalt tools. Unless Dewalt and Bostitch tools and batteries are now compatible, but as mentioned I have my doubts.

Are Craftsman cordless tools any good?

The Craftsman drill has a good feel to it. All of the new Craftsman V20 cordless drills share the same handle grip design. It also wasn't lost on me that Craftsman included a standard charger, or what I'm calling a standard charger. They could have supplied this kit with a more basic charger, but they didn't.

Is Porter Cable a good brand?

Nowadays, Porter Cable (along with DeWalt) is owned by Stanley. Black and Decker, and Porter Cable tools are kind of regarded as an intermediate between consumer and professional-level. They have very good prices, decent quality, but are not really up to par with the best in the industry.
