Are DeWalt 18V and 20V batteries the same?
In the most simplistic terms, Dewalt 20V Max = 18V. These aren’t 20V battery packs, they’re 18V battery packs. If you didn’t already know this, don’t worry, it’s not just you. 4-1/2 years later, lots of people still assume 20V Max is more powerful than 18V.
Are 18V and 20V batteries the same?
Let me say it again: 18V batteries and 20V Max batteries are exactly the same voltage. Still, the guts of each battery cell do vary from brand to brand and even within a single brand as technology and chemistry improve.
Can I use DeWalt 20V battery in 18V tool?
