Battery Adapters for all power tools 18v - 20v Dewalt Milwaukee Makita Bauer Makita 

Every wished you could use the same battery on other power tool 18v - 20v platforms? Well now you can witha simple battery adapter. Link in the description.

The battery platform I invested in was Hitachi (aka Metabo) about 14 years ago. Still have enough chargers and batteries to last me awhile. I built my own adapters out of empty cartridges and battery holders so i could use a few Makita and Ryobi 🙂

I never even thought about this. I was trying to wire up my own adapter and this video came up in my suggestions

Not a battery expert,but think you might need to be careful.Ive heard that because the battery management system involves the tool not being able to discharge the battery too far down,it is possible to discharge the battery too low with the adapter,and then the battery may never be able to recharge.

Like you said, it’s something that seems obvious but I never thought to see if these adapters existed. Thanks!

Brian, thanks a million!!!! I was just agonizing over having to find space (premium in NYC) and having to pay for yet another charger and battery.

I have a bunch of Dewalt tools and batteries but found the adaptor for Ryobi and love it. Ryobi has a couple of small cordless tools that are handy to have. Great Video!

the dewalt batteries are the best of any rechargable system I have ever tried. I try and reuse them for all my devices, thanks for the tip. I have even gone so far to convert my 12v dewalt batteries (which you can buy for dirt cheap now, and the 20v charger works with them,) into the main power supply for my camper running the cigarette lighter sockets all over. I even found the circuit board that protects the battery from running to zero and put that inline.

5:25 Milwaukee to Adult. Love that Freudian slip! 😂 I recently made the transition from Milwaukee to "Adult" so I can relate.

Hey mate, I actually modified bauer, rigid tools and bostitch tools to work with dewalt batteries without an adapter. Only thinks that I haven used adapter on is milwaukee tools and ryobi radio or Led's.

Probably the most insane brand is Bosch. The battery of the Green series Bosch don't fit the Blue series Bosch. What a shame.

Top marks Brian, I'll go and buy a Dewalt Battery adaptor to fit a Black and Decker tiller 😊 Thanks

I want to invent the battery company compatible with everything and I be the man

Thank you. I used this about a year ago and it is useful. But you must pay attention👀They usually don't have thermal orlow voltage feedback, abatteriescan get damaged if driven too hard

The cordless tools are convenient, I still like corded tools, air and electric

Nice, i started out with dewalt but i got 5 kobalt and 4 bauer batteries. I still want to use my old dewalt with the stem battery

Awesome 👏 im a milwaukee fun boy and invested to much money into it. Recently i pick up a dewalt 4/12 circular saw this would save me some money thanks brother

hello, for dewalt tools how do you wire the adapter?

I THOUGHT MY IDEA WAS ORIGINAL, SO I LOOKED IT UP & HERE YOU'VE ALREADY MADE IT!!! HUH!!!

Bought a Makita battery adapter to use on Bauer tools. Looking for an adapter so I can use makita on hercules tools. Have too many makita batteries to simply buy bauer or hercules batteries but do want their tools. Hercules has 5 year warranties and bauer now offers 2 yr extended warranties.

I have a bunch of milwaukee batteries, i didn't find the adapter for Hercules tools😅.

What is a good priced 2ah 20 volt battery?

I have about 10 deVValt batteries and want a grass whacker, but the dewalts are so expensive and they get bad reviews, so I'm looking to get a $30 Bower from chinafreight, I juat ordered the adapter.

how bout dewalt to craftsman. theyre both stanley/black and decker. but why arent they compatible, {i happen to have both}. Is their one out there

What about going with the different battery voltages? 20v Battery on a 18v tool?

You don't have to push the button to put a battery on the charger, only to take it off

I might have one bauer tool most of the tools I have are ryobi what I did was I have 2 batteries here they are expensive dewalts but what ever adatpers I do have here everything has an adapter even the ryobi shop vac so I can keep using dewalt batteries and dont need to swtich brands !!!!

Have you found an adapter to adapt the Dewalt to Hercules tools?

i have a dead m12 battery...gonna gut it and attach a 12v similar Ah adaptor to make it wall powered. Actually now that i think of it, i will splice my m12 radio AC adaptor to the m12 battery since i know the adaptor is specifically made to power m12 tools....i will make a video

There is no adapter for Craftsman battery to Bauer tool (charger)

I think you can easily modify a Bauer tool to accept DeWalt batteries

Does the adapter work for Hercules tool?

can you load the battery brand "a" with this adabter in charger brand "b"?

Is there a ryobi to Bauer adapter?

I need adapter for 20v Dewalt battery onto 20v Hercules tools (??)

Have anyone seen adapter from m28 tool to DeWalt battery

Battery adapter!!! Wth! Thank you, Fairy Tool Godfather! A Dewalt Angel!! 😇 1000 BULLS will be sacrificed in your name SIR! Sorry... Movie buff🤣

There should be a ONE battery system imposed on the manufacturers of Power Tools globally. The impact on the environment in sourcing the materials is unacceptable, as is the use of child labour in the mines.

Please share

You can expect watt loss with adapters.

The so called adapters being sold on the secondary market...is a really a crapshoot ...the fit and finish is meh....and be aware that not all tools will work with these adapters. In my current situation i already tried using the amzn adapters but they didn't fit my tool .... it would get stuck...or just fall out while in use. In the end i was lucky to find a dewalt adapter made my the same company that makes dewalt tools (DCA1820) and modify/merge it with a non-working (insert your brand) battery to make a acceptable adapter. Some soldering and hot glue will be needed to make this modification...but the end result would be way better than what amzn sells. Fyi....you can discard the innards (old cells) just reuse the wiring ... positive to positve....etc...etc... google it if you need a visual...there are alot of homemade "how to" adapters floating out on youtube.

I’m sad I started with Dewalt, they should be ashamed of their finish guns. Junk. Milwaukee finish guns are ok , less moving parts, but their problem? The finish nail at least in the two guns I bought’ will not sink into any wood all the way, and because it’s T nails’ try sinking it the rest of the way with a nail set, looks like a sink hole when your done. Especially 2-1/2 no matter what the setting on the gun. But I do like how quiet it is.but I’m not paying for quiet Guns.

DO NOT WORK WITH HERCULES GRINDER

If a fella don’t have the foreknowledge to pick his platform Mabe he won’t have the foreknowledge to work on your house. Just saying…
