Will this work with the P100 NiCd batteries? (I have a set of those and some other tools. Someone poached my drill!)

I doubt it very much. The Li-On batteries are the real item. The drill itself is less important. The batteries cost more than the drill.

I can't see why not. You can charge your old batteries with the newer charger so the batteries should fit the new drill. Yours is a peculiar case as, usually the batteries run out and won't hold a charge as opposed to getting a new drill for old batteries! After you get a replacement drill I would suggest getting one of the newer batteries with a charger soon. Hope this answers your question.

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. Drill is backwards compatible with 18 volt nicad batteries.

Yes. My dad got a drill combo set and it came with the 1.5 20v battery which he said didn't last long. I bought the 3.0 20v for longer usage. You can also check on lowes.com if u want.

It is for all Makita 12-volt cordless tools. There are various batteries for various models. Check your drill's spec for compatibility.

The battery will work with the drill driver. Just exercise caution in the use of the tool as it is very powerful. Best wishes, Henry.

I do not believe this battery will fit the DeW drill. Close examination of the picture of the "correct" DeW battery with the battery for my B&D; drill appears to show several bumps that are, I presume, designed to stop what is essentially the same battery being switched between the two brands.Sorry it took so long to reply.Regards,R

No, that was a problem I had. Seems what you buy at Lowes, or other box stores is a different battery configuration. I had received a kit for a gift, then purchased these tools thinking they would share batteries. Nope. That said, still the best cordless tools that I have owned. I now own both post and the square slide type batteries.I may have gotten your question wrong. The saw uses the post type, and the drill and Lowes tools use the slide type.

I am not familiar with that tool, but this is the De Walt low capacity 18 Volt NiCad battery pack, not the high capacity NiCad, and not compatible with tools and chargers that require Lithium Ion batteries. I don't know where you live but it's tough to beat Home Depot's prices on De-Walt batteries, and some online suppliers make their money selling people less expensive low capacity batteries, when what they really want is a high capacity one. If you are in doubt I suggest you take your old battery into Home Depot and spec out and price batteries there where you can see if they match before you commit to shipping.

If you order the appropriate size battery for your drill, yes it will be correct fit & voltage. Crossing the batteries is not the problem, the problem is the plastics they used.

Cecelia: PLEASE SEE MESSAGE BELOW FIRST! PS: According to the page at the URL I left in the first post, (The product info page,) this battery FITS YOUR DRILL yes. I copied the "972's" to here: "DW972, DW972B, DW972K, DW972K-2, DW972KQ-2, DW972KS-2, DW972RLK2" If nothing is down in the hole in the charger the batteries fit into, then I suspect you DON'T have the original charger! Somehow? OR... possibly the contacts are bent? (small metal "posts" on the battery that make electrical contact) The drill has 4 "tabs" that are pretty "forgiving" if a contact on the battery is bent... the charger, not so much! Hope something here helps! Joe

I used the nicd battery. it worked fine. This is a pretty good unit for the price. it came with two blades, one fine-toothed for metal and one larger-toothed blade for wood. That was a happy surprise.

Hopefully the vendor will answer this question specifically. My experience is that this battery fits the DeWalt drill which uses the 12 volt. The battery was tight fitting into the charger for the first time. Perhaps this helps...........Richard

I have a dewalt drill but I think any drill will work. The drill brush is just an attachment like any other. I would try your drill first, I don't see it bring a problem.

I bought this for my son, and he already had batteries for his Makita drill and other tools. I am certain the Sander has to be the same brand. Lowes could resolve the question though. Good luck

Hey Chris , the battery did not for my drill. I just leave the charges battery in the drill. Not sure if this is correct.

Yes, it looks like it will work with almost any drill. I use it with a Makita. Works great

hay guys you know its not possible to do your honey do list or tear into a repair without having this set, and as for your drill if it has a chuck key or battery, some have tip holders, yes it will work, B & D PD400LGPivot-driver yes it will
