{"product_id":"dewalt-20v-to-hercules-20v-battery-adapter","title":"DeWalt 20V to Hercules 20V Battery Adapter (with BMS, Vacuum Pump Compatible)","description":"\u003cp\u003eUse your DeWalt 20V MAX batteries on Hercules 20V cordless tools, without buying into a second battery platform. Both platforms are rated 20V, so torque and speed on the Hercules 20V tool stay where they should be. The molded ABS housing keeps it light and hard-wearing, and pure copper contacts keep current delivery steady. Fewer battery systems in the workshop, on the bench or in the van, and no extra chargers to find room for. It also carries battery protection electronics (BMS) inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSKU\u003c\/b\u003e PTA-DWM20-HER20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFits this battery\u003c\/b\u003e DeWalt 20V MAX (Lithium-Ion)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBattery voltage\u003c\/b\u003e 20V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRuns these tools\u003c\/b\u003e Hercules 20V (Lithium-Ion) from Harbor Freight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTool voltage\u003c\/b\u003e 20V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHousing\u003c\/b\u003e ABS (Injected)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTerminals\u003c\/b\u003e Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCurrent rating\u003c\/b\u003e 40A continuous (80A peak at 18VDC for up to 2 seconds)720 Watt continuous at 18V nominal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eInternal wiring\u003c\/b\u003e 5 mm²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWeight\u003c\/b\u003e 128 g (4.5 oz \/ 0.28 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eColour\u003c\/b\u003e Yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOperating humidity\u003c\/b\u003e 5–95% RH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOperating temperature\u003c\/b\u003e -10 °C to 50 °C (14 °F to 122 °F)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUSB port\u003c\/b\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBuilt-in BMS protection\u003c\/b\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/b\u003e Battery adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWarranty\u003c\/b\u003e 12 months after the date of delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRevision\u003c\/b\u003e Revision 01 (released on March 10, 2025)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy choose this adapter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour DeWalt 20V MAX battery and Hercules 20V tools run at the same voltage, so the adapter changes the fitting rather than converting anything.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Battery Management System inside the adapter cuts power before the battery is drained too far — protection your battery may not have on its own.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInjection-moulded ABS, not 3D printed — no layer lines to split under load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid copper terminals, so less of the current is lost as heat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 mm² internal wiring, rated for 40A continuous with 80A peak at 18VDC for up to 2 seconds, so a high-draw tool is not held back by the adapter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovered by a 12-month warranty from the day it arrives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDeWalt 20V MAX and Hercules 20V compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt works in one direction only: DeWalt batteries powering Hercules tools.
