utf-8"></head><body dir=3D"auto">Eric, if your old batteries are 18v, there i=
s an adapter so you can use 20v batteries in your 18v tools. Only downside i=
s that the adapters cause some leakage current so if you leave the batteries=
installed, they will discharge in a few days. There are 2 sources I=E2=80=99=
ve found, DeWalt & I think Etsy. I have both & they work fine. =
<div><br></div><div>Some folks say that the additional 2v can damage the too=
ls but DeWalt fessed up recently that the 18v batteries were measured under l=
oad & the 20v were measured open circuit. Basically they used the conver=
sion to lithium batteries to become a new family of tools by recasing the 18=
v tools & changing the voltage markings. <br><br>Peace,Pat</div><di=
