DeWalt 18 to 20V battery converter

[sgrammel]

Anybody use the aftermarket version of the 18-20v battery converter?

Official DeWalt version is around $40..knockoffs are less than $10.

I did. Dewalt battery to Ryobi and Ridgid tools. They work fine. Choose one with a better rating.

Here is what I had: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09HZM2Z4M?tag=atomicindus08-20

I’ve been using DeWalt tools for years, and when my old 18v battery finally gave out, I didn’t feel like spending big money on an original one. I tried an aftermarket DeWalt 18v battery, and honestly, it works great. It locks into the drill the same way, charges fine, and holds power long enough to finish jobs around the house and in the garage. The price was way better too, which makes it easier to grab a spare. If you use your tools often but don’t want to overspend, these aftermarket batteries are a solid choice.

Wow inflation really hits over time. I bought the Dewalt DCA1820 back in 2018 for $19.95. It works great, even though now I haven't had the need to use any of my older 18v tools in a while. I keep them around though because they still work. I don't recall that they had as many knock-off versions of the adapter available back then.
