Will this saw work with the B&amp;D "Single Source" 18v system? It appears to have the exact same connection.

No, this is the 20 volt lithium ion battery system. It WILL NOT work with the 18 volt system.

I'm sorry, I looked on the tag on the saw and it only gives volts and amps. I can tell you that it runs side by side with my Skil worm drive and I have no regrets in making its purchase

Yes. I found that 120v works better than 18v for that application. Works either way, another great tool by DeWalt.

Probably not. Even though Dewalt and Black & Decker come from the same manufacturer, I have devices from each with the 20V Lithium Ion batteries. The configuration of the connections are not compatible between the two different lines.

Yes, it is a NiCad battery - the same one that all of the other Black & Decker single source system 18v tools use.

Ben, I bought this tool and battery as a pair and have not tried my other 18 volt STD batteries but I would see no reason why it would not work, maybe shorter run time but that woud be it I would think.

Yes. Although I don't have that battery, I believe that the Dewalt dc9180 is compatible with all Dewalt 18 volt tools.

Yes, it will work. The bolt-on battery however has slightly higher amperage, but I have never noticed a difference. I use the bolt-on's quick charger for both the sears and B&D; batteries and it works fine. In case you are wondering, all of the attachments will also work with either system.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! This saw requires the BL830 3.0 Ah battery or higher (yes, Virginia there's a 4.5 Ah) as it "works harder" than the drills and lights that can run on the BL815 1.5 Ah battery. You can modify the 1.5 Ah (amp hour) battery to fit, but run the risk of destroying the battery. If you own the DC18RA charger that came with your BL815 1.5 Ah batteries, it will charge the bigger batteries safely and maintain them nicely - it just takes a little time. Buy the BL830 batteries at the best price you can find. Charge them on the DC18RA or DC18RC charger and you can safely run the saw AND any of the drills that accept the BL815 1.5 Ah output battery. If you cannot figure this message out - and search for makita batteries and chargers - and carefully read the details to determine if you are buying the right things - you should probably not be playing with power tools to begin with! It does require close reading and study - but that's part of shopping online. Remember, if you think you're getting an unbelievable deal - you need to re-read the details - this is all market driven. Everyone needs to make a profit.....EG: "100% quality to fit makita" = "made in china - that's why it's cheaper" Good luck troops. Peace/Out

I have standard and low profile batteries thatboth work. When I googled DeWalt DC9181 battery, in its discription, it says that it works on ALL DeWalt 18v systems.

Im sure it works with the cordless saws, if you have the big corded saw I am unsure. It fit mine just fine and I have the 18v cordless saw

No It will only work with the smaller table saws. For that application it works very well

This is always the case with B&D customer service. They know less than you do and they never call back. I asked if the new 18 volt lithium battery they have is interchangeable with the other 18 volt tools and I never could get an answer.

NO! I just checked pictures of the DeWalt 20V Battery and Charger. They have 5 slots on the electrical connection and my 20V B&D; and Porter-Cable batteries have only 4. I used a Dremmel to cut notches in my B&D; and Porter-Cable batteries to make them compatible. This greatly reduces the number of spare batteries that I need to keep.

I believe you have the LXT model. The LXT batteries will work on either the LXT or the "compact" models, but the compact batteries will not work on the LXT. The saw is great, but it requires the larger LXT batteries. I have both models of the 18v Makita and must watch when changing batteries. I have tried and the compacts are a no go.

Dewalt has made all the 18 volt batteries compatible with the entire 18 volt line. The only difference you'll notice is the fit on the base of the tool - the battery fits and runs the tool, it just looks a bit smaller when installed.

The DC9098 18V battery will work with the DEWALT DC390 (DC390B) 6 1/2 inch circular saw. This is the saw and battery I am using. TJ
