I have a 20V Porter Cable charger that came with the drill. Can I also use it to charge an 18V Porter Cable battery for their lamp?

No, According to the owner's manual.5) Battery tool use and carea) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A chargerthat is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when usedwith another battery pack.b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of anyother battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire

It is the same battery that the dealt 20v tools use. You can use any dealt 20v battery and charger.

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'm not sure if this battery is compatible with all 20V Craftsman tools, but it definitely works with the 20V Craftsman Bolt-On tool.

Yes 20V is all that matters. You can use any 20V Dewalt battery with any 20V Dewalt tool. Still the amp rating directly determines how long the battery will last. So using 1.5AH battery will only drive half as many screws/bolts compared to a 3AH battery before the battery is dead but it will still work.

It is a different charger (larger) for the Porter Cable kits. I have used it often and works well. The charger has a "lighted" charge level indicator and fully charges the battery in 30 minutes or less. However, I have read in other articles that it is better to use the "slower" charger (contained in the kit) to extend the life of the battery. I have not used the standard charger, so I don't know how long it would take to fully charge a battery (overnight?).

Yes, I have this and have used it with my 20V Matrix drill and it works great.

Go to the blackanddecker.com home page and view the 20 v max battery list of tools. This battery works with both trimmers and tools such as drills, etc.. Too many to list.

Yes the 1.5 amp and 3 amp batt. can be used on the same 20 volt tool. The only difference in them is the run time between needing to charge.

The charger will work, but the included 18 volt battery works with the 18 volt tools only.

YES... according to Dewalt any 20v battery will work on any 20v tool.. only difference being how long they operate the tool....

Yes, I have an older drill also, the newer battery does fit. Mine is an 18 volt.

I use this battery on all my Black&Decker; 18V power tools, and charge it on the Black&Decker; 18V charger (fits with no modifications). Battery is great.

You will use the same charger. Your tool will have more power and will last longer between charges.

I don't know the referenced number but this battery works in all my Porter-Cable 18v Tools

Most 20v tools are compatible together. You can get DCB200, DCB204, DCB203 batteries and the DCB10q charger. IT would be cheaper for you to go out and buy another 20v tool that has a charger and batteries that comes with the tool than to just go out and buy a battery and charger. Hope This Helps!
