My Milwaukee M18 tool works with a Dewalt 20V battery!

- In this video I show a battery adapter I made to use Dewalt 20V batteries with Milwaukee 18 tools. I do not advise doing this as there will be no protection against over-discharging the battery as ll as other potential issues that can ruin the battery and tool.
ingenious! anyone with a 3d printer can make the entire adapter including the generic battery housing!
we have adapter DW18ML which allows you use dewalt battery on Milwaukee tools
I would definitely add an over discharge circuit, those flex volt batteries are expensive. You can buy circuits pre made on eBay, I wouldn’t use a flex volt battery either, just a regular 20v 5.0 amp hr
Nice conversion. I have a DeWalt power station and have a bunch of Milwaukee 9ah batteries that I wish can transfer over. LOL you also have a power station too.!!
I see your'e an avid veiwer ;) lol
I have that light as well, so glad I switched to Milwaukee a few years ago from Dewalt after a couple of dead batteries, funny but the first m18 hammer drill and impact I got on sale at HD for the same price I sold my Dewalt hammer and Impact and a couple of smaller 2ah batteries.
You could take the electronics from a dead milwaukee battery and make a resistor divider to let the tool think is has batteries and put in between. It'll then protect the dewalt battery for everything except improper cell balance (cells are balanced in the pack but no shut down if one is out of balance). Should be good enough to not really worry about as long as you do not use old batteries with noticeable performance degration.
You legend
would a dewalt to milwakee adapter fit in there?
Dewalt doesn't make a 20 volt cordless socket wrench, but Milwaukee does. I'm too invested in Dewalt to get a tool that won't use the batteries I already have. I may have to try this. Instead of the battery cover, I'd probably use the Dewalt 18 to 20 adapter.
18 to 20? What the hell is that? battery 18v from dewalt are same with tools/battery of 20v
Now Dewalt has the same style lamp!!
Yes, I mentioned that in the video.
smart move
pretty sure the dewalt and any of the pro brands battery have a chip that regulate charge and discharge.
No, in the Milwaukee the chip is in the battery but in the DeWalt, the chip is in the tool.
@@yehudagoldberg6400 milwaukee low voltage cutoff is in the tool just like dewalt
There's only one problem with this. Dewalt tools have a circuit in them that communicates with Dewalt batteries. It shuts down the battery before it gets too low. Once one of their battery's gets too discharged, the charger wont recognize it anymore and it's junk. So if you do this, check the battery's indicator often and when you get down to one bar, recharge it.
easy to repair
You can open up the battery, ID the dead battery with a meter, sever the Nickle strip to isolate, then charge the individual cell, bridge the cut Nicole with solder and all fixed.
But please keep recycling those "dead" lithium battery packs. I love getting free samsung lithium cells.
he mentions this in the video...
On the ebay a guy or company sells adapters for those kind of things i guess they 3d print but crossfire i believe is what it is called but kinda pricey like $45 i think
The problem with the adapter is that it takes up alot of room and it would not fit in the battery cutout on this light with a battery on it.
Both batteries are the same voltage. "20V Max" is just marketing. A fully charged Milwaukee battery will also read more than 18V.
all 20 volt battery have the same amount of lion cell as a 18 volt the only difference is marketing, same capacity
francois clermont 20v packs can have different watt hours... And different amount off cells... The dewalt battery in video uses a even larger cell... 20700. 20mm x 700. You are right about 20v actually is 18v... But that was more to separate the two lines... Lithium and ni cad... And that is understandable. 20v max is no load... 18v is with a load.
Yes, the voltage is the same. but that does not automatically mean it should work, since the tools and/or batteries have chips in them.
They also both run at 18 volts! Lol
So how do we bypass the chip? Because if we made a plastic adapter that just goes on the drill itself and the battery just slides into the adapter and connects with those terminals. They have them for raob but it's only 20 volt to 18 volt but if we made a Makita DeWalt and Milwaukee birth actors that would change the entire market and I don't know if there's any legal fees or any legal action that they would take. Kinda scary and a milti million dollar idea. Or if they just standardized batteries I mean that would save so much money but the big battery companies just don't want to do that
Sorry voice text sucks
Since the DeWalt battery actually 8 terminals 6 of them being information terminals, I do believe that if someone took the time to reverse engineer the chip in the Milwaukee battery, there would be a way to do this safely. Battery designs have design patents so actually selling an adapter would not be legally possible. A standardized battery will likely never happen because of corporate greed. They have you married to their tools. I made this public as a way to fight it. Who knows, maybe one day if this kind of information of how we can easily hack the proprietary battery is widespread enough, they will move to a standardized battery.
Yehuda Goldberg even a 3 party wouldn't work.. sad that's not capitalism. Maybe if we found a way around the legal system then we could patent it.
Why could you just hook it up to the dewalt charger and charge the othe battery
Your thumbnail picture is so mis leading ...
Sick!
I realize Im pretty randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to watch newly released tv shows online ?
@Hezekiah Troy Ehh I watch on Flixportal. you can find it thru google:) -blaine
@Blaine Tripp thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I really appreciate it!!
@Hezekiah Troy you are welcome :D
Dewalt has there own version of this light released a fews ago
Yup. I mentioned that in the video.
They sell $20 adapters on amazon
the milwaukee 9.0 is not 250 is 169.
Victor Fuller but you need at least 2 batteries at all times while one is charging.
What
@@yehudagoldberg6400 Yeah its a construction thing. Cordless tools are useless without batteries which will get your arse sitting home and its hard to buy batteries when you cant make rent :)
Gangsta. Nice hack
I made battery 2 in 1 HYBRID battery connect with Milwaukee and DeWALT battery
Can You give us some details?
why
Dewalt makes me puke 👎
