20v MAX and Flexvolt batteries are not only too powerful, but they are physically too large for the receptacles on these pint-sized devices. These smaller batteries only fit on tools labeled as 12v MAX, and vice versa. What About DEWALT 12-Volt Tools?ĭEWALT also produces a line of ultra-compact 12v MAX batteries and tools. Brushless tools will use the batteries more efficiently and therefore last longer per charger, however, than brushed tools. Brushless refers to the construction of the motor. Yes, DEWALT batteries will work in all DEWALT tools of the correct voltage whether the tool is brushed or brushless. Do These Batteries Work In Brushless Tools? The latest model is compatible with all DEWALT 20V MAX* tools. The new compact battery has 50% more power and allows 50% more work done per charge compared to the DCB205, the standard 20V MAX 5.0 Ah battery, making it DEWALT’s most powerful and most efficient battery in its class. The second is the brand new POWERSTACK 20V MAX 5Ah battery. The battery also features twice the lifespan of the DCB203 and an LED Fuel Gauge to monitor current battery life. POWERSTACK 20V MAX Compact battery has 50% more power with a 25% smaller footprint compared to the DCB203, the standard 20V MAX battery.

The lower voltage doesn’t provide enough juice for the high-demand motors.ĭEWALT 20V MAX POWERSTACK batteries are compatible with all 20V MAX tools and chargers, so it can be used with over 250 different DEWALT products. This means that once you join the DEWALT platform, you have access to over 100 products that all use the same battery technology.ĭEWALT 20V MAX batteries can’t be used in FlexVolt 60v and 120v MAX tools, however. Standard DEWALT 20 volt batteries are compatible with all 20-volt tools, as well as all 20-volt chargers. A few exceptions exist that we’ll touch on below. What do FlexVolt Batteries Fit?įlexVolt batteries are compatible with all DEWALT 60 and 20-volt DEWALT tools. 60 and 120-volt tools can only use 60v MAX batteries. 20-volt tools can use 20v MAX batteries OR 60v MAX batteries. They are all marked with the battery size they require on the tool.
Since the two power platforms bear a striking resemblance, be certain you are adding the correct size to your cart before clicking on “Place Order”.ĭEWALT has three primary voltages for their cordless tools: 20 volts, 60 volts, and 120 volts. Worse yet, you especially don’t want to buy a battery only to find it doesn’t even fit in your tool. I have batteries from 2011 and I've never had issues with them holding a charge.With all these batteries for you to choose from, it might be a little confusing to know which you need for your tool.
