does this compact driver also accept the larger 18v li-ion batteries?

Yes, this item will accept the 18V high capacity Li-Ion battery for DeWalt.

Yes, I have the Li and the NiCad. The Li charger works on both batteries btw. The Li battery really performs

Yes, but it doesn't work. This is too good of a battery to worry about the small stuff. Thank you. Robert A. Watson

Yes it is.It will hold a 18v with a drill with a lithium ion battery , and charger.

Hello! I have several 18V Ryobi Lithium batteries. This is where I use the this charger. Works great! RCH

I don't know for sure but if you had a lithium battery before I would think it will work with it. the 20-Volt max lithium battery is exactly the same size as the 18 volt was.

The brochure says that any Ryobi 18V One+ Blue or Green Tool works with any Ryobi 18V One+ Battery, Lithium-ion or Ni-cd.

The answer is in the name of the battery. It's a 18650, which means it's 18mm x 65mm.

YES, I have both 18v Nicad and 18v Lithium batteries and they both work, although when using the Lithium battery the tool seems to have more power. Maybe just my imagination. To my knowledge all 18v DeWalt batteries will work in all 18v DeWalt tools. I really like mine, well worth the money.

Hey Dave, That is the battery that I have been running in it the entire time. I don't know if it would accept the larger battery, but I am assuming so. peaceDrew

small lithium coin battery for the small uint , larger one has a dc12v plug

The Batteries work pretty much as advertized. However I have never had electric tools with 18v before so I can't give you a direct comparison.

Drill is backwards compatible with 18 volt nicad batteries. It came with 2 lower capacity (not XRP) Li-ion DeWalt batteries. The charger works for NiCad and Li-Ion batteries. I like the lower weight of the drill and Li-ion battery, BUT I HATE the Li-Ion battery because it cuts off without warning and you cannot squeeze any more out until you recharge. They do it because they don't want a Li_ion battery to blow up with somebody so basically they have protective circuitry built in to monitor each battery cell. But it sucks when you are up on a ladder and have no warning that the battery will give out on the next screw.

I can't speak for ALL 18V's, but it does charge the older ni-cad (i think) batteries that came with the Ryobi "one" tools, including one that wouldn't charge at all on the old charger.

yes it will-- I have this exact charger and it charges all 18v Ryobi batteries -- both nicad and lithium which I use.

You want to go from the Ni-Cd battery to the lithium battery (both 18V). I am unsure if the Lithium battery fits your drill, but if it does (and it should), then you will also need the specific Li-ion battery charger also. As a rule, Ni-Cd battery chargers are not interchangeable with LI-ion ones. The Li-ion battery charges up faster and has less of a memory effect than the Ni-Cd battery - it just works better.

Although the Porter Cable PCXMVC multi-chemistry slide pack charger says it will charge any lithium ion or NiCad type battery, I can't be sure that means anything above 18v. A friend of mine has the 8823 battery but his charger is different in appearance than the PCXMVC. I think you would be safer getting a charger specifically for the 19.2v as it will also charge any 18v batteries. In fact it will charge batteries lower than 18v.
