kjones Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Yes. The 18v DeWALT batteries are all compatible in all 18v DeWALT tools ever made. There are a few obscure tools that came with NiCad batteries that didn't allow a lion battery because of a piece of plastic being in the way, but in the off chance that you had/have one, it is a free alteration at the service centers. The only non-compatible part is that you cannot charge a lithium battery in the black charger; the yellow charger will charge all DeWALT batteries from 7.2 through 18v ever made. So that is the long winded way of saying "yes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
