Categories : tools
SKU : WOR-TOO-012
The DEWALT DCA1820 adapter allows you to power most DEWALT 18V tools with modern 20V MAX lithium-ion batteries. Instead of retiring older tools that still have plenty of life, this compact adapter bridges generations. Simply slot a compatible 20V MAX battery into the adapter and slide it onto your 18V tool's battery port. Not only does this give you more runtime and longer battery life, it also lets you consolidate your charging and battery lineup.
Compatible batteries: DEWALT 20V MAX XR batteries rated 1.5Ah, 2.0Ah, 3.0Ah, 4.0Ah, and 5.0Ah. The adapter will not work with DEWALT FLEXVOLT batteries (20V/60V). Compatible tools: The DCA1820 works with most DEWALT 18V tools, but avoid using it with Premium batteries in DC970 or DC759 tools. For a specific tool, double-check that the adapter fits your model's battery port and does not interfere with the tool's intended operation.
This is just the adapter. You'll need a DEWALT 20V MAX XR battery and a DEWALT 20V MAX charger (sold separately). The adapter does not charge batteries; it simply connects a 20V battery to an 18V tool.
Keep your old workhorses running without buying a whole new tool set.

It works with most, but avoid premium batteries in DC970/DC759 tools. Check your tool's battery port to be sure.











Makes old tools new.
I was going to toss my old 18V saw. This lets me use my new batteries. Saved me money.
It works perfectly. No issues with fit.
Fits tight. No wobble. Just works.
I had an old 18V reciprocating saw that I loved but the batteries were dead. This adapter lets me use my 20V batteries, so the saw is working again. It fits securely and the battery clicks in easily. There's a bit of extra weight, but it doesn't bother me. I'm very happy I found this instead of buying a new saw.
If you have old 18V tools, get this. It's a no-brainer.
Does what it says. A little snug on some tools.
My husband is happy. He uses it every day.
Works. No complaints.
I don't know much about tools, but this let my neighbor use my drill. Good.
It's a piece of plastic but it works. Overpriced.
