• 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.

Stanley V20 and RIDGID 18V RED compatibility

It works in one direction only: Stanley batteries powering RIDGID tools. For the opposite pairing, see adapters that run on RIDGID 18V RED batteries.

Compatibility can vary with the exact battery and tool model. Before ordering, confirm that your battery belongs to the Stanley V20 platform and that your tool takes RIDGID 18V RED batteries.

Important charging and safety information

This adapter is for powering cordless tools and nothing else. It cannot charge Stanley or RIDGID 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 Stanley V20 battery.
