Ryobi 18V ONE+ and Porter Cable 20V compatibility
It works in one direction only: Ryobi 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 Ryobi 18V ONE+ 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 Ryobi 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 Ryobi 18V ONE+ battery.
