Lithium Battery To NiCad Power Tool Adapter With USB Charger DM18D

The DM18D Lithium Battery To NiCad Power Tool Adapter bridges the gap between modern 20V lithium packs and legacy 18V NiCd & NiMH tools. Designed for DeWalt and Milwaukee systems, this plastic converter allows you to upgrade older equipment without replacing the tools themselves. The straightforward slide-to-install and press-to-remove mechanism ensures secure mounting during operation while eliminating the risk of loose connections on active job sites.

Main Description

By stepping down 20V lithium-ion capacity to safely match 18V specifications, this adapter preserves the extended runtime advantages of newer batteries while maintaining stable power delivery to vintage gear. Built from engineered plastic and weighing just 118g, it mirrors the original DCA1820 footprint for drop-in compatibility. A built-in USB port delivers up to 2.5A, allowing you to power external devices without draining your primary tool battery.

Benefits & Tips

• Pair higher-capacity 20V lithium packs with cordless drills, saws, or chargers like the DC9096 or DW9099 to gain longer runtimes without buying replacement handsets.
• Route power through the integrated USB outlet to charge smartphones or cameras in the field, effectively turning your power tool setup into a mobile charging station.
• Clean the internal contact pins with a dry lint-free cloth before each swap to prevent oxidation and maintain consistent current flow during extended projects.

Important Reminders

Verify that your lithium pack aligns with standard DeWalt or Milwaukee terminal geometries before attachment. Keep the plastic casing away from direct heat sources and do not overload the USB port beyond the rated 2.5A limit. This unit supports 18V NiCad & NiMh tool architectures only; mismatched voltage requirements may affect performance.
