Are all 20V batteries interchangeable?

Furthermore, some people asked are all 20v batteries interchangeable. The answer is no. Even though the batteries might have the same voltage, they can be different in other aspects. The most notable difference is probably the capacity or Ah (ampere hour). Are Dewalt’s 20v batteries interchangeable?

What is the difference between a 24v and 18/20v battery?

The "24" V systems (really 22) use six cell battery packs. 18/20 V use 5. That means for the same quoted ampere-hour number, the 22V battery will have 20% more watt-hours. One of the nice things about Li-Ion batteries is that they can provide very high current.

Can I use a 20 volt battery?

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.

Are DeWalt 20V batteries interchangeable?

Dewalt 20v batteries are not interchangeable with other brands. These are only brand-specific and designed to fit into Dewalt’s power tools. The 20v Dewalt batteries can be interchangeable with an 18v whole line of tools.

Are Milwaukee batteries interchangeable?

Generally. Milwaukee batteries are not interchangeable. Their size, shape, connectors, and voltages are designed to fit only the specific Milwaukee power tools. If you try to use them forcefully, it can also harm the battery and tool. You can use the particular cross-band adaptor to replace the battery with the other brand.

What are interchangeable batteries?

Interchangeable batteries are those that are compatible with multiple tools, meaning they can easily be swapped out and used with different tools in the same range or brand. Before purchasing a replacement battery, it’s important to know which batteries are interchangeable so you can maximize efficiency.
