DM18D Converter for DeWalt 18v to 20v Battery Adapter,for Milwaukee M18 18v Batteries Adapter, Convert to DC9096,fit for DeWalt 18v XRP Ni-Cad Cordless Tool,Upgraded Version of DCA1820,with USB port

My husband was pleased with this item

for the past many years I've watched my dewalt XRP get less and less performance. the circular saw especially was basically useless, not making it through even one cut on 3/4" MDF. Now I can at least have a chance of not just throwing away the whole set of implements because the battery technology has aged out. probably I'm late to the party on this, but this whole class of adapters has me pumped.

Actually works well with all my Milwaukee batteries.

This adapter locks into an 18v tool securely, 20v batteries lock securely into the adapter.

Gives New life for my old 18volt tools.Highly recommend this to anyone who has older dewalt tools that needed that nicad junk battery.

Edit: Update -- 2nd one burnt out the day after writing my original review. Hoping my drill is not trash, everything smells like burning plastic right now. The battery stem clearly melted in a circle the size of a dime. The prongs are black. Either the 5 star reviews are fake, or these people are not actually using the drill. I was drilling a hole in a piece of wood when the 2nd one crapped out. The first one burnt out putting a screw into a stud! (I have 2 18v dewalt drills, one for screwing and one for drilling. I purchased 2 so I wouldn't have to switch them out all the time. These did not burn out on the same drill so it is definitely not the fault of a drill.)Purchased 2 of these. One works, for now. The other burnt out after first use, in a drill screwing a screw into a stud to hang a picture! Fortunately, because I purchased 2, I knew the first one I got was still working so I knew I did not burn out my drill or my battery, just the adapter. It is a possible fluke but I don't think I'd purchase it again.

I’ve upgraded to the 20 V but it’s really nice to use some of my older stuff especially when you’ve needed two drills with different items in them well worth the purchase

used with my milwaukee battery . it is difficult to release from the tool . but itfunctions very well .
