Can I use for this tools bateries 18V li-ion or only ni-cd?

Any Dewalt 18v can work in any Dewalt 18v. The only difference is the charging. A li-ion dewalt battery will fit any 18 v dewalt tool but it will not charge in a ni-cd charger and needs a li-ion charger to be recharged. Xrp - ni-cd batteries can be charged in li-ion chargers.

You can use all of this same style 18 V , that is one of the great things DeWalt hs done. This is one of the main reasons I bought DeWalt. Just cannot use the Max style batteries, as they attach completely differently.

A 20v Lithium battery is equivalent to an 18v nicad. They will both put out 18v to the tool. The Lithium battery is much smaller, lighter and holds a charge longer.

I have an 18v Ni-Cd battery that charges most of the time and a lithium-ion battery that charges no problem. So, it may be a little finicky with the Ni-Cd batteries, but works fantastic for the Lithium-Ion batteries!

Yes, any Dewalt 18v battery pack from 1996 to present will work in almost all 18v Dewalt devices. There are about 7 devices that will not take the lithium ion battery but they are fairly obscure. I use both Lithium ion and ni-cd packs in my drills and impact as well my saw and other devices.

Yes, this item will accept the 18V high capacity Li-Ion battery for DeWalt.

No, you must have the lithium battery charger. If you own a number of Nicd powered Dewalt tools, the lithium batteries are far superior to nicads. No, you must use the lithium charger. It's best to bite the bullet and purchase the lithium battery and charger package. The lithium charger will also charge the old nicad packs as well.

These lithium will work on the older NiCd. 18V. XRP. Tools. They will give you much more battery life.

The saw will only work with the 18 volt batteries. Both the Lithium Ion or Ni cad batteries are interchangeable with these Porter Cable tools and can both be charged with proper charger. It will cut 1/2" metal but it may take some time depending on the hardness of the metal. I recommend a circular saw type of tool with a metal cutting disk for this material, even my new Bosch corded sawsall would take a while with this material unless it is a soft material like aluminum or brass.

For the Skil 288 Cordless 18v Drill/Driver you can use the following battery models:Skil SB18CSkil SB18ABoth are Ni-Cad, that is my experience.I do not know if it will work with Li-Ion

I bought a Lithium Ion battery which fits my collection of 18v tools but not either of my 2 older chargers ...FYI.

Absolutely! It comes with the drill, flashlight, 2 batteries, set of drill bits and the charger which can be used for lithium and ni-cad battery packs compatible with this unit. Much lighter and lasts longer than ni-cad!

If your old charger is a 12-18 volt 48-59-0255. It is for ni-cad batteries only. Will Not Work. Lithium Ion contain a special circuit that will not work on a ni-cad charger. If your old charger is a 18-28 volt Li-ion & 18 volt Ni-cad 48-59-2818. It will work. Or a charger for only 18 volt Li-Ion will work

Drill is backwards compatible with 18 volt nicad batteries. It came with 2 lower capacity (not XRP) Li-ion DeWalt batteries. The charger works for NiCad and Li-Ion batteries. I like the lower weight of the drill and Li-ion battery, BUT I HATE the Li-Ion battery because it cuts off without warning and you cannot squeeze any more out until you recharge. They do it because they don't want a Li_ion battery to blow up with somebody so basically they have protective circuitry built in to monitor each battery cell. But it sucks when you are up on a ladder and have no warning that the battery will give out on the next screw.

Ryobi's been using the same battery standard for over ten years. They've been through three generations of li-ion and at least one ni-cad in that time, and any tool will take any battery and vice-versa. You may need to buy a charger that will handle the new battery packs, but the entire point of their One+ system, their entire decade-long marketing campaign, is that everything works with everything. The only difference you should notice is that old tools are different colors than your new battery, and that everything works better now. Not a shill, I swear - just an *extremely* satisfied customer burned by discontinued batteries more than I like to think about.

That's exactly what I did. Your drill, saw, light, etc., doesn't know the difference between a NiCd or Li-Ion.

I believe this tool is built by Dewalt and any of their 18 volt batteries should work in this unit.

Older lithium ion tools/&charger will accept the newer battery, you mean voltage not amperage. I say u can find out by calling/email milwaukee with tool model #
