Masterforce 20V to Porter Cable 20V Battery Adapter

Use your Masterforce 20V batteries on Porter Cable 20V cordless tools, without buying into a second battery platform. Voltage is not the obstacle here — both sides are 20V. The socket is, and that is what this solves. The battery side is injection-molded ABS and the tool interface is high-precision 3D-printed ABS for an accurate fit, with pure copper contacts carrying the current. This helps you get the most out of your existing battery system while avoiding the cost of another set of batteries and chargers.

Why choose this adapter

• Your Masterforce 20V battery and Porter Cable 20V tools run at the same voltage, so the adapter changes the fitting rather than converting anything.
• 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 Masterforce 20V batteries sold at Menards, so the fit is the one you already own.
• Covered by a 12-month warranty from the day it arrives.

Masterforce 20V and Porter Cable 20V compatibility

It works in one direction only: Masterforce batteries powering Porter Cable tools. For the opposite pairing, see adapters that run on Porter Cable 20V batteries.

Compatibility can vary with the exact battery and tool model. Before ordering, confirm that your battery belongs to the Masterforce 20V platform and that your tool takes Porter Cable 20V batteries.

Important charging and safety information

This adapter is for powering cordless tools and nothing else. It cannot charge Masterforce or Porter Cable 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 Masterforce 20V battery.
