RIDGID 18V to DeWalt 20V Battery Adapter

This adapter lets you power DeWalt 20V MAX cordless tools with the RIDGID 18V batteries you already own. The molded ABS housing keeps it light and hard-wearing, and pure copper contacts keep current delivery steady. It removes the need to keep separate batteries for different platforms, which saves money and simplifies the workflow.

Why choose this adapter

• Injection-moulded ABS, not 3D printed — no layer lines to split under load.
• Solid copper terminals, so less of the current is lost as heat.
• 5 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.
• Made for the RIDGID 18V batteries sold at Home Depot, so the fit is the one you already own.
• Covered by a 12-month warranty from the day it arrives.

RIDGID 18V and DeWalt 20V MAX compatibility

It works in one direction only: RIDGID batteries powering DeWalt tools. For the opposite pairing, see adapters that run on DeWalt 20V MAX batteries.

Compatibility can vary with the exact battery and tool model. Before ordering, confirm that your battery belongs to the RIDGID 18V platform and that your tool takes DeWalt 20V MAX batteries.

Important charging and safety information

This adapter is for powering cordless tools and nothing else. It cannot charge RIDGID or DeWalt batteries and must never be connected to a charger of any kind. Always take the battery out of the adapter before charging, and charge it on the original charger made for your RIDGID 18V battery.
