Porter Cable 20V to Stanley V20 Battery Adapter

Use your Porter Cable 20V batteries on Stanley V20 cordless tools, without buying into a second battery platform. Both run at 20V, so the adapter changes the fitting and not the voltage. Constructed from 3D-printed ABS with pure copper contacts, for an accurate fit and dependable current transfer. Your existing batteries do more work, and there is no second ecosystem to buy into.

Why choose this adapter

• Your Porter Cable 20V battery and Stanley V20 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 Stanley V20 compatibility

It works in one direction only: Porter Cable batteries powering Stanley tools. For the opposite pairing, see adapters that run on Stanley V20 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 Stanley V20 batteries.

Important charging and safety information

This adapter is for powering cordless tools and nothing else. It cannot charge Porter Cable or Stanley 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.
