Anyone came out with an adaptor to use the 20v battery for the old 18v tools or conversion from battery power to 120v AC?

YES! Adapter is launching in January 2016. There will also be a kit that includes the adapter, 2-20V 2.0Ah lithium's, and a charger I think will retail for around $160. http://www.dewalt.com/tools/20v-max-batteries-dca1820.aspx

To be on the safe side I would purchase an Inverter/Converter (inexpensive) unit to cater for UK power output, so as to ensure that you will be supplying 110/120 volts as required for the tool.

To the best of my knowledge, any 18 Volt Ryobi tool will work with any 18 volt Ryobi battery. And I have quite a few of each. My choice for 'power hog' tools is the longer life battery, but any will work.

I've found the 36V battery to be a little lighter and seems to run slightly longer, (about one minute on a full charge) than the 18VX2 battery in my Makita Chain Saw or Blower. The nice thing about the 18VX2 battery adapter is that it is "Star 18V", which means it should be able to use the new 4.0Ah and 5.0Ah 18 volt batteries Makita is coming out with.

It takes the Makita BL1830-2 18-Volt 3.0 AH Battery, but some of the Makita tools take booth, I never did try the smaller one though.

This tool takes a DeWalt 20volt Lithium ion battery with matching charger, they both will fit any other DeWalt 20 Volt tool

Didn't try it with that, but don't remember seeing an adapter. I could never get the battery to charge so sent it back.

well i have the b&d; weedeater, hedge trimmer, leaf blower and the hand vacuum. and five 18v batteries. they're all interchangeable. they are all very good tools. the weedeater and the blower work best for me.

If it requires an 18 volt lithium battery if should interchange . That's the beauty of Makita 18 volt cordless tools , one battery fits all (18 volt)

You should be able to pick one up on Amazon. I already had a charger and battery from another 20 volt black and decker tool but I picked up another battery at Wal*Mart

You can search for 20-volt max battery on amazon! It is universal for all 20-volt max compatible tools by black and decker.

I have been on the web site and the rights to the tool have not been able to locate an extra battery or a charger for the tool. You can try by going their web site, which is listed when you log into Amazon and look for their tool. It's a little frustrating. I also noted that the prices has doubled since I bought our took last fall. Good luck. I'm actually trying to find a compatible battery from another business, but have been unable to do so thus far.

On 120v a 20a dedicated circuit would be fine. On 220v it only draws 11amps I think, so 15-20 amp circuit. But keep in mind you get full output with 220 volt circuit too. I have tig welded on a 20amp 120v circuit with this thing with great results.

Yes, the saw will take any of the 20 Volt DeWalt batteries but not the lower voltage ones. I am using a 3.0 amp hour one that is fine. The 1.5 amp hour is too small, too little power. I believe that there is also a 4.0 amp hour version. As the amp hour rating goes up so does the size. Not a problem on this saw but make a drill too big and heavy.

Edz is correct,but they do make adapters that reduce 220v to 120v and this will work also and may be easier to find then one that converts to 12 vdc.

I think so. I, too, had an older model that broke. The batteries are expensive, so it seemed smart to buy a compatible drill. We've also bought a hand vac, hedge trimmer, and leaf blower over the years. All have used the same 18V Battery.Sorry for the slow response. Just now tackling a 2400 email backlog.

I use mine with 20v max tools.Drill, cut out, reciprocating saw, and impact drill. All with the same battery.
