Hey Bacon many thanks for jumping in. I agree with all you've noted except the bit I've quoted, can you confirm you have said what you intended to say, because this thread is about higher voltage batteries for lower stated voltage tools.Also commenting on the battery type, in overview, the battery type is relevant to the extent each type of battery has different characteristics, I do not wish to set all that out, beyond observing the voltage is the voltage where-ever it comes from, but secondly the ability of the power source to maintain that voltage under increasing load is IMO highly relevant. Which in writing this makes me realise where we are over volting a tool there may be some advantage (that is risk reduction) in using the LOWER power pack versions, that is a 2 A hr 18V battery has less capability of damaging a tool than a say 6 A hr 18V pack which under load will pump more current and tend to maintain the voltage, the power, the wattage and the heat going through the tool, which is usually what kills parts - too much heat in the wrong places...Also I would make clear that the charger for any over volt battery will need to match that pack, and not generally be the original tool's charger, unless the original charger covers the higher volt cell as well, for example my Metabo ICS 10 charger charges NI-cd and NiMH to 18V but not Li-ion batteries so it could not be used for the AEG batteries I was considering but could be used for a NiMH 18 battery pack.As has been suggested I searched for information on my motor type and cannot verify it is also used in 18V drills. Also the electronics in my drill uses the "impuls" electronic pulse technology and again seems limited in use to the 12 and 15.6V versions of my drill. If I fry the tool through overvolting that will really kill the tool with availability of replacement parts difficult at best. Therefore I've decided given the special case of this drill I am better to just replace the existing cells with NiMH batteries. The impuls function works well so I wish to preserve that drill so hereon I will "baby it" to more lighter and special duties.My decision should not stop others over volting non impuls drills especially where replacement parts are available and or confirmation the motors are in any event designed for the higher voltages.
DEWALT has released some sweet new batteries over the past few years. For their large cordless tools, they currently run two primary voltage platforms: 20 volts and 60 volts.
For those who haven't been paying attention, DEWALT revolutionized cordless power tools in when they released the FlexVolt platform: the first-ever multi-volt battery system. FlexVolt batteries pack 60 volts to power highly demanding tools, including DEWALT's Atomic compact cordless tools, outdoor power equipment, work lights for the job site, saws, and nearly any tool in your trailer. As a bonus, FlexVolt batteries actually step down and run at 20 volts when attached to lower-power tools. Besides the heavy-hitting FlexVolt, DEWALT is still running strong with its tried-and-true 20-volt MAX platform. This lithium-ion system of slider batteries is compact, rugged, and made for jobs needing moderate power.
With all these batteries to choose from, it might be a little confusing to know which you need for your tool. Worse yet, you don't want to buy a battery only to find it doesn't fit in your tool. Since the two power platforms bear a striking resemblance, be certain you add the correct size to your cart before clicking 'Place Order.'
DEWALT has three primary voltages for its cordless tools: 20 volts, 60 volts, and 120 volts. They are all marked with the battery size required on the tool. 20-volt tools can use 20v MAX batteries OR 60v MAX batteries, while 60'and 120-volt tools can only use 60v MAX batteries.
FlexVolt batteries are compatible with all DEWALT 60 and 20-volt DEWALT tools. Just so you know, we'll touch on a few exceptions below.
Standard DEWALT 20-volt batteries are compatible with all 20-volt tools and all 20-volt chargers. This means that once you join the DEWALT platform, you can access over 100 products using the same battery technology.
However, DEWALT 20V MAX batteries can't be used in FlexVolt 60v and 120v MAX tools. The lower voltage doesn't provide enough juice for the high-demand motors. Moreover, DEWALT 20V MAX POWERSTACK batteries are compatible with all 20V MAX tools and chargers, so it can be used with over 250 different DEWALT products.

It will not fit. All 60'and 120-volt tools have plastic tabs that physically prevent using 20-volt batteries, but FlexVolt batteries have special ports that allow their use.
DEWALT 20v MAX XR batteries are just like standard 20-volt batteries but last longer relative to their size. The XR stands for Extended Runtime, so you get extra life out of them before running out of juice.
DEWALT POWERSTACK batteries utilize breakthrough pouch battery cell technology, allowing the battery to run cooler and deliver greater power. The POWERSTACK line is DEWALT's most powerful, compact, and lightweight battery option.
DEWALT currently has two options in their POWERSTACK lineup. The POWERSTACK 20V MAX Compact battery has 50% more power and a 25% smaller footprint than the DCB203, the standard 20V MAX battery. The battery also features twice the lifespan of the DCB203 and an LED Fuel Gauge to monitor current battery life.
The second is the brand new POWERSTACK 20V MAX 5Ah battery. The new compact battery has 50% more power and allows 50% more work per charge compared to the DCB205, the standard 20V MAX 5.0 Ah battery, making it DEWALT's most powerful and most efficient battery. The latest model is compatible with all DEWALT 20V MAX* tools.
Yes, DEWALT batteries will work in all DEWALT tools at the correct voltage, whether brushed or brushless. Brushless refers to the construction of the motor. Brushless tools will use the batteries more efficiently and, therefore, last longer per charger than brushed tools.
DEWALT also produces a line of ultra-compact 12v MAX batteries and tools. These smaller batteries only fit on tools labeled as 12v MAX and vice versa. 20v MAX and Flexvolt batteries are not only too powerful but physically too large for the receptacles on these pint-sized devices.
No. At the time of this writing, only one DEWALT cordless tool uses 120 volts: the 12-inch Cordless Miter Saw. While it harnesses 120v DC power, it achieves this by having two slots for 60v batteries running in series. As a substitute, DEWALT created a corded power supply adaptor for the miter saw to swap out batteries for wall power since they have the same voltage.
Yes. While most DEWALT batteries fit on all tools they are marked as compatible with, a few don't. Due to their size, FlexVolt packs don't fit all smaller tools and adaptors. A few newer compact 20v MAX packs are slightly longer than others and don't fit all tools or chargers.
