WOW! This is the only video that I've found that covers this topic thoroughly and accurately. This video should have a TON of views and likes. Others videos show cutting off part of the base on the Porter Cable tools. The other videos said the batteries could be interchanged but not the chargers, leading me to believe that they were electronically incompatible as is common with laptop batteries. I was going to buy the Biswaye 20V MAX Battery Fast Charger PCC692L because it works with both but now I might not.
I have learned that it is impossible to standardize on Black & Decker. I had originally planned on it since I have a Black & Decker weed eater with 3Ah battery, and later bought a 1/4" impact driver with a 1.5Ah battery and charger for $50 that also gave wonderful service. However, then I found that Black & Decker does not have a 1/2" drill, and the only circular saw they have uses a 5 1/2" blade instead a standard 6 1/2" or 7 1/4" while Porter Cable has both. Now I also need a jigsaw and sawzall and the Porter Cable does a better in the reviews for these than Black & Decker. I'm not seeing where the after market Porter Cable batteries are any more expensive than the Black & Decker after market batteries, and the reviews of the Biswaye and Powerextra brand of aftermarket batteries have the same satisfaction rating as the OEM Porter Cable batteries. It is easier to use a Porter Cable battery in a Black & Decker than the reverse. In summary, it is virtually impossible to standardize on Black & Decker because they simply don't some of the key items a DIYier needs, plus Porter Cable tends to do better in the tool reviews overall while their prices are very close. One thing that haven't seen for some reason are aftermarket batteries based on a modified Porter Cable design that fits both.
PS: Bottom lines:
- You cannot standardize on Black & Decker due to their more limited power tool line while you can Porter Cable.
- If you want/need to mix them, buy Porter Cable batteries, which if you buy aftermarket, are the same price as Black & Decker aftermarket. The only thing you need to do is trim a small tab off the Porter Cable batteries to enable them interchange with both the tools and chargers.
Thanks, I thought about the vid for a while...then finally started analyzing them to find the differences. Then thought hey others might like the info and save them some time...a lot of time...feel free to share the vid anywhere, write blogs about or whatever. I try to share useful practical time/money saving info. Along with a few random things I do or places I visit.
Thank you for the informative video!!
I bought a Porter Cable impact that didn't have a battery with it, but I thought it maybe my Black & Decker battery would fit it hopefully (bought my B&D drill w/battery for $1 at a yard sale).
I found on Reddit a post saying you can interchange them with a little modification, but needed a how-to video and yours was the 1st one that popped up...
Thank you again! 😁
@@sweetpea1322 Awesome glad I could help. Took me a bit to figure it out and wanted to share.
Well done. It's crazy that they intentionally put those changes there to prevent people from swapping them. To avoid creating that hole in the B & D battery, I think notching a slant into the tool a bit would do the same thing.
Modify tools or the batteries...take your pick. I have less batteries
Dude Awesome, took me 5 minutes or less with a $13 Harbor Freight dremel. Thank you a bunch. I already won two Porter Cable batteries and a charger on ebay$38. I just needed a use for the two Black & Decker 20V batteries/charger I was given free. Now I just need another PC impact to carry in the car 🤙
HAHA AWESOME dude, glad I could help you out. I thought about it for a long time. Knew it was doable...just didn't really have the time to spend on it. Finally said I'm just gonna do it and record it for all. Be sure to like it and all that jazz supposedly helps the secret YT algorithms
YES! I can now use my black and decker batteries in my black and decker tools!
You're welcome haha, I'm glad I can swap em now too. Was given some B&D tools but had to carry double the chargers. I've found killer deals on B&D batteries too. But most of my tools are PC.
Yes, my B&D drill just craped out. Was looking for a replacement, but B&D does not make a 1/2" chuck drill...PC does. I think this will work. Thanks
Yep will work. You're welcome
@@mrmotofy Y yes it did! New PC drill (new battery no good) but have 5 B&D batteries . I think Ill be ok.
There is a bump on the back of a 4.0 amp porter cable. It blocks using the black and decker tool. Is it important? Can we shave it off?? Good video. Thanks
I don't have a 4ah to look at but likely can be removed
Just wanted to say I'm glad I found your video because the videos by other guys would have me hacking at the PC tool, whereas your approach modifies just the battery. I do understand that correctly right?? I just bought a 20v PC grinder and I do not want to hack at it because that would kill its warranty and the ability to have its serviced under warranty.
Awesome thanks for the compliment. Yep modify as described is quick easy and gives more options.
@@mrmotofy welcome and thanks for making a useful and concise video. just to be 100% clear, your method does not modify the tool itself in any way, right?
@@mrmotofy just to be 100% clear, your methos does not modify the tool itself in any way, right?
@@eswords1 The Battery and charger as needed, just like vid shows
Thanks for this tip took just a few minutes to do works great
Awesome, figured I can't be the only one
Good video. Thanks
Awesome thx...that was my intent
This worked great! Thank you
Is it possible to mod Craftsman battery to power Porter Cable & BD tools? Craftsman ones have 4 connector pins and are cheaper, too.
@@jundu2310 I think they're too different. All the slide parts have to line up
Yeah, they say the gaps between pins are not the same as BD/PC. I haven't done Craftsman myself, though.
@@jundu2310 Yep the batteries themselves are basically all the same. The differences are the fit/terminals
Thank you ;-)
You are welcome!
I already did this about 5 years ago .😊
But did you make a vid showing others how??? nah didn't think so
@@mrmotofy no I didn't but you don't have to cut the porter cable battery, on the black and Decker tools, you just have to use an 1/8 th " chisel and knock out the little tab on the inside of the tool itself. The porter cable battery will fit with out any cutting at all. Much easier.
@@mrmotofy Besides there were many videos, showing how to do this up to 10 years ago. Your a little late to the show . 😆
@@ENZIO90 Not as detailed in any I seen
@@mrmotofy oh yes very detailed, how to cut the black and decker battery, to fit porter cable tools. How not to cut porter cable battery use as is. Just knock out tab on inside of black and decker tools. No need to modify porter cable battery at all.
These PC tools are terrible. The cmstandard piggy hack charger is horrendous. The batteries are hard to find.
I wish I could return my kits.
The kits are fine for probably 80% of the people looking at power tools. I can walk into multiple stores and grab whatever is needed. Anything I can't find locally I can order off Amazon etc. You can always sell your kits
Actually the tiny charger is much slower than the big one.
Nope that's backwards. The small one charges faster than the large base one. But I believe there is a quick charger.
@@mrmotofyactually, no. The big charger has 2A output while the small one has 500mA.
@@Surmoka There’s different models, there IS a larger fast charger that's NOT the one I have. The smaller one is faster at like 2 hr or something
@@mrmotofythere are 2 chargers only: the one with a slot which provides 2A current, and the small slip-on version which provides 500mA current. Any other charger, if exists, is third-party.
@@Surmoka Maybe that's what you believe. Or maybe the newer models...but I have the regular large charger thats noticeably slower than the small one's. So I've been using the small one. When I looked last a while back there was a large charger marketed as quick charger but looked identical. Maybe there's only one faster large one. The small are fairly fast at 1-2 hrs to full on a 1.5ah
