dumb question..but can you buy an aftermarket 20v LION that will work with an 18v NICAD dewalt drill?

i mean..is the juice a function of the battery or electronics in the drill itself?



do not use Lithium in a drill not designed for it. They have circuitry built in to shut off before the battery discharges too much.That is what kills lithium,discharging too much.

You can't use it anyway. The nicads go in vertically, the lithiums go in horizontally. They did it on purpose.

Go to Costco and get their 20v max dewalt set it's 229 and it's dewalts top drills. Amazing drill.

I paid 299 at Lowes for the same set.
