How to Break the Wall between brands?

In order to make a customer repeat their order again when next time. 

All Brands' power tools built their own platform battery system.
Just you can not use iPhone lighting wires to charge your HUAWEI. 

We know that you’re searching for a more affordable way to new power tools, you may have to choose the old brand which you already own some old batteries. 
Nor, pay for new batteries and chargers with a new brand.
Both of them is not friendly and feedback no freedom!

 

The battery adapter makes it available.
Thanks to the Adapter, we are no longer limited by Battery Version.
We can use a Makita angle grinder battery with a Dewalt 20V Battery.
And also we can use my Dewalt impact driver with a Milwaukee 18V battery.

Wait!

Could we use 20V batteries on 18V tools?

Would the Battery adapter break my power tools?

 

We can notice that. difference brands offering different Voltage Battery Tools to market.

20V MAX VS 18V BATTERIES HAVE THE SAME CELLS

LG. SAMSUNG. SONY(SANYO) are the Top 3 player in 18650 cells supply chain.

• 3.6 volts (nominal) x 5 cells = 18 volts=>Rated Voltage

• 4 volts (maximum) x 5 cells = 20 volts=>Peak Voltage

On taking apart any of these two batteries you will realize that they are designed in much the same way. They both have individual battery cells that are arranged in a group of 5 wired in a series. Every group of 5 cells is connected through a wire in a parallel arrangement. This is done to ensure that the battery has a significantly large number of amp hours. It is also done to guarantee that the battery has a good capacity in terms of watt hours.

A deeper look at these cells reveals that each one has two different voltage ratings namely nominal and maximum. Every one of the cells in a 18v or 20v battery has a nominal voltage rating of 3.6 volts which translates to 18 volts nominal when put together. Every one of the cells in an 18v or 20v battery has maximum rating of 4 volts which translates to maximum 20 volts when put together. In essence the manufacturers of the 18v battery makes use of the nominal rating while the manufacturers of the 20v max battery make use of the maximum rating. This is basically the main difference between these two products.

Having noted the above it is clear that both of these batteries produce the same amount of power. The only difference is in the way they are advertised or labeled with regards to cell ratings. Another significant difference is that 20v max batteries are common in the United states while 18v batteries are sold outside of the United states. However, a person using 18v batteries outside of the US is getting the same results as one that is using a 20v max battery within the country.

It is equally important to note that there are tools designed to work with 18v batteries while there are also a group of tools that are designed to work with 20v max batteries. This can present yet another argument with a number of people preferring to go for the 20v max tool because it sounds more powerful.
