Battery Adapter for 18 volt DeWalt power tools

This battery adapter enables you to use inexpensive Ryobi batteries for all your 18 volt DeWalt power tools. This was available on ebay, however ebay pulled the listing at the request of DeWalt and their parent company, The Black & Decker Corporation. They claimed the listing violates their intellectual property rights. I disagree with this decision and will appeal through the proper channels, so please check back here for a link to the re-listing when available. After all if you bought a Ford automobile and converted it to run on natural gas, and then offered that automobile for sale, would that be a violation of intellectual property?

But the DeWalt battery is the best part of the DeWalt. It would be like buying a Ford truck and then taking out the rear-end. I have heard a lot of people deepthroating about Li-Ion and I will admit it is lightweight & compact but in terms of brute power, low operating temperatures and longevity, DeWaly XRP batteries are still king.

What do you title it on eBay if you are wanting to buy one

Neat but ryobi batteries suck not only does the charge last half a dewalt but the overall life expectancy is far less despite ryobi claims. FACT one dewalt 18 volt out last three ryobi. I experienced this experiment with a used dewalt battery and New ryobi when myself and a friend built a deck with both 18 volt sets.The guy doesn't seem to know about the two pack of dewalt for only 99.

Love this concept, so you buy a Dewalt kitbox (which generally comes with 2 3.0ah batteries, and a 1hr charger. Under normal use the average 3ah battery will last nearly 1 hour. So by the time the first one depletes, the second one is charged.......... I only have two hands, so in which reality would I need a modified battery housing to use a cheaper branded battery (of course Dewalt batteries are soooo expensive *cough*)

Hello just a questio please.

so its possible 18X2=36 V ?????

[kryo101]

just put the ryobi batts in the dewalt casing, that way you can still use the dewalt charger is well.

bit bulky isnt it? dewalt batteries are much, much, MUCH better than ryobi - ryobi are crap

[blownutsmyass]

why not just put better cells in the dewalt battery case? simpler yet and cheaper then this
