jimmy.latulippe Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Hey guys, Have you heard about the new DCA1820??? Its gonna be AWESOME! Can't wait to get it? anyone has more info on it tho? Will it take all batteries like 5.0 amp? Also, will we be able to charge it using an 18V charger like the DC9310? This thing is gonna be a must have for people with both 18 and 20 volt systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framer Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 just let the old 18 volt system die. no reason to keep spending money on it. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy.latulippe Posted September 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 well the thing is, I own a lot of 18 volt so I don't want to have to change it all. With the adapter I'll get the possibility to invest in 20 volt yet keep my tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorb888 Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 It will accept all 20v batteries. It will not work in the 18v charger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a charger for slide battery's.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Hernandez Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 I can't wait to see how funny it looks on my tools..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody88 Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Seems like a good option if my old 18v batteries ever crap out rather than spend twice the amount of the adapter on a battery Sent from my LGLS740 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR99 Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 I think Dewalt wanted to have two separate generations of tools the old 18xrp and the 20v max. The problem was Dewalt had so many people with 18v tool collections that didn't want to just abandon the system. I was almost a Dewalt guy I bought the 20v max system after TIA reviewed it. The problem was at that time they only had the basic tools back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody88 Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining I was introduced to dewalt on the 18v platform when I found 20v I was so excited like 2v was going to change my life then I found it was also 18v no big deal to me now it don't matter what platform I'm on I have 12v 18v and 20v they all do there job that's all I care Sent from my LGLS740 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 I think its because Dewalt made the changeover from slide to stem packs so much later. Also add in the fact that Dewalt was so dominant in cordless tools everyone and their uncle seemed to have a 18v Dewalt drill. It was a scab that Dewalt should have torn off in the mid 2000's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
