Check before you buy

DCA1820 is DEWALT's adapter for running older DEWALT 18V tools on 20V MAX batteries: check its page for which batteries and tools it lists. [source]
60V MAX tools: DEWALT lists FLEXVOLT batteries for them; check the tool's own page before assuming a standard 20V MAX battery will run it.
