This battery adapter enables you to use inexpensive Ryobi batteries for all your 18 volt dewalt power tools. This was available on ebay, however ebay pulled the listing at the request of dewalt and their parent company, The Black & Decker Corporation. They claimed the listing violates their intellectual property rights. I disagree with this decision and will appeal through the proper channels, so please check back here for a link to the re-listing when available. After all if you bought a Ford automobile and converted it to run on natural gas, and then offered that automobile for sale, would that be a violation of intellectual property?

I Think this adapter is too big but anyway I would like to know how much it cost and where can I get it?
@man9170
how did you do your math 1.7 +1.7=3.4 $60(2) is more than 2.6($100)
rip off ? Do the math. your comment makes no sense.
@hangebicom
thats because black and decker makes dewalt
ryobi is 1.7ah and dewalt is 2.6ah so rip off
2 packs of battieries are too heavy to use handle / hold
Go and buy Black & Decker FireStorm series batteries, they fit dewalt tools directly, cost twice less, but also work not so good as original.
One thing you could try also is to change the internal battery packs for a Ryobi juste re-installing them in the same order resoldering them as the Dewalt packs are , I do own a multitude of dewalt batteries operated tools and I never pay $89 for them even worst here in canada they sell them $120.00 so I buy them from discount store like toolking with a reconditioned tools and they end up getting them for $30 with a free spare tools package .
This is almost cool… the only problem is your adapter is way too big. People are willing to pay the difference for a flat screen flat pannel tv and get rid of the old clunky tube for a reason. Sleek light compact. a three inch adapter is rediculous. you almost have yourself a great product keep working on it. Im not trying to discourage you but im trying to give you constructive criticizm. If that doesnt work Ill erase this comment and try a different approach
dammm u must b rich lol u have colection
and we expect to beat China to the Moon again?
Good job,
Ever think about using the 1.2 volt Sub-C cells from the ryobi to replace your bad dewalt cells??
…. I would have cut down the old dewalt as close to the clip as i could. wow thats a fatty!
AGUSTIN MARXA!
Hilti 18v lihium ion CPC is covered by the manufacture for 2 years at no cost. That’s 2 years unlimited batteries. Warranty includes wear and tear. No fine print
Hilti. Outperform. Outlast
Sound like dummy to buy something to try to save in otherthing, is not the same cost ?? because I’m sure that adapter is not forever like the battery. so you will buy a Ryobi battery and the adapter mmmm…. no sound good
Looks heavy.
that is not even worth it suck it up everything cost more now days
this man has breasts…..!
wtf whos gonna use that massive b******
wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to big
good idea but the battery pack is twice the size of the drill, in hvac it might be tough to fit all of that where i need to get it, how easy is it to swap the cells out?
edstar83 > “.. buy ryobi power tools. why pay twice as much ..”
In my case, the decision was based on the sheer breadth of Dewalt cordless tools. Ryobi has only a limited selection of the tools they do offer (one 18v drill, one 18v circular saw, one 18v jig saw, etc), while also not offering several additional tools available from Dewalt (sheet metal shear, circular saws with larger blades, higher voltage tools, etc). Also a greater selection of third-party accessories for the Dewalt tools.
That’s pretty good! there’s all kinds of ways to save. thanks for the idea!
Just take the cells out off the ryobi and put them in the dewalt
lucky , i paid 60 for a slightly used porter cable ,
I BUY my DEWALT drills and batteries at the PAWN SHOP $30 bucks drill 2 batts and charger and case….. the pawn guy saves them for me
