Dale500 these have been around for 6 months....but they do not work with the brad nailer, adhesive dispenser and one more but i can't remember that one

the 18v lithium ion battery clicked out at 12.08 volts

btw, dewalt has this cutout so the batteries last longer....cell phone co's ought to use this as well. Ever noticed that once your cell phone has gone dead, it not longer has decent battery life

i made mine out of an old slide charger. i bought the dual charger dcb103 so i had an extra slide base. I did accidentally run down a dc204 beyond what the charger liked. I just paralleled it with a charged dc204 (+ to +, - to -), brought the voltage back up and it recharged the rundown battery

here is my thread on this http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4134290#post4134290 i am discharging a 9181 right now to see at what voltage it cuts out at

won't work with dewalt. see my post above

I asked him as well. He can't do it because makita uses different circuitry than Dewalt. The difference with dewalt is that the 20v series has the tool determining when to shut down the battery for overamperage, under voltage and whatever else they think will hurt the lith ion battery. the...

what about using a dc9181 and fitting a 20v slide in battery to that? it has the built in protection in the battery already (low voltage, high amperage)
