DEWALT 18v to 20v Adapter - Bare (DCA1820)

Product Information

The new Lithium Ion batteries pack much stronger punch with a better power to weight ratio, almost no self-discharge, and a cool led "fuel gauge". Since February in Arizona isn't about shoveling snow, I let the DeWalt 18v Cordless Reciprocating Saw chew on some yard work for a bit.

There was a slight color variance, but I'm fairly sure that's due to 8 years of Arizona sun beating down on my tools as I work.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.

Brands like Ridgid/AEG have integrated the battery monitor and sensor within the battery, while other brands have placed these components in the tool itself. Simple to use and easy to attach, the DeWalt to Makita Badaptor clips securely into any Makita 18V tool with no movement. It also holds the pack at a slight angle, presumably to mimic the tool balance we are accustom to with the old packs. 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. Another adventure where I brought the battery adapter into play was the repair of our rooftop heat pump (Post: Cold at Night!

The cordless configurator makes it easy: tool bodies, batteries, chargers, lights, lasers, vacuums, etc. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

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. 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. You can also bypass the battery with a 12v input so you can run them off your large hail light battery as well.If your battery lacks these safety components, we recommend not fully discharging it and ceasing adapter usage when the battery reaches around 20% charge. Easy to use - The release mechanism means that attaching and removing the Badaptor could not be easier. Want to pull the light off so you can have your light in hands reach for quick position, simply press the lock button to release light and use the suction cup to stick to desired panel. Obviously, there's more than a little physical difference between the old plunge-in style NiCd and the slide-on Lithium Ion.
