Porter Cable 20V to Masterforce 20V Battery Adapter

Use your Porter Cable 20V batteries on Masterforce 20V cordless tools, without buying into a second battery platform. Power passes straight through: Porter Cable 20V and Masterforce 20V share the same 20V rating. Built with an injection-molded ABS battery interface, a 3D-printed ABS tool socket for a close fit, and pure copper contacts. It removes the need to keep separate batteries for different platforms, which saves money and simplifies the workflow.

Why choose this adapter

• Your Porter Cable 20V battery and Masterforce 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.
• Covered by a 12-month warranty from the day it arrives.

Porter Cable 20V and Masterforce 20V compatibility

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

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

Important charging and safety information

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