what is the diference between the 18 V lithium and the 18 Volt XRP lithium battery? Can I use both batteries in my 18 V dewalt tools?

Difference is cost and the XRP I believe gives you extra run time. As for the swapping of 18V's they have worked for me on the tools I have i.e. brad nailer and hand vac. Hope this helps.

i am using these batteries for my 18v tools. also use some 14v of same , have preformed well. run time gets longer with use, short at start buy 4th charge keep up with the Dewalt batteries.

I not completely sure. As I understand it, the battery design is different. Here is a link to a couple answers on the same subject : https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20140101152447AAlHFopBottom line, contact Dewalt and ask them.

If your referring the the xrp's or the regular dewalts then the answers yes you can use either. The regular battery's do fine with it but the xrp's are perfect for this tool!

The 20v MAX lithium battery will not fit tools that used the 18v NiCad battery. They are both 18v (nominal) battery packs. It would be less expensive the replace the cells in your NiCad pack with high capacity Ni-mh cells.

You CAN use the 18v XRP in the DC500. I use one in mine. It's a great vac, I'm on my second one, I wore the first one out!

The batteries that are included are the original lower capacity Ah. There are now higher capacity 12 volt max lithium which lasts significantly longer. I don't know exact Ah ratings. I use the higher capacity ones for the the tools and use the lower capacity ones for the LED work light.

Just so you know; Dewalts 20V models are 18V. Its just a fancy name to make you think you are getting more power. The "20 V" line is the newer model. If you are doing small jobs the 12V maybe fine, but since you own an 18V I presume you need the power, so stick with the 20V models. I also have the 12V models that I use for light work.

Yes. Although I don't have that battery, I believe that the Dewalt dc9180 is compatible with all Dewalt 18 volt tools.

I have used both XRP types of batteries and have had no problems so far. When they run out of power the stop instantly as compare to Ni batteries which slowly loose power. Weight is much lighter with Li.

No. The numbers vary based on the chuck size, the battery voltage (if cordless) and the motor amperage. You have not said whether this is an 18v cordless drill or 115v drill. All Dewalt 18v cordless will use the same battery. The battery numbers have changed with time as the batteries have been improved.

The 18v XRP lithium ion battery's can be substituted with the 18v nicad battery's. The connection points are the same.

Yes and NO. The Lithium Ion Batteries will work great in these and all other 18 Volt tools, BUT you need a Lithium Battery charger as the Ni-Cd battery charger will overcharge and potentially create a fire. Lithium is very flammable in air. Special care must be taken when charging these batteries, but they last longer and take repeated recharges.

watch this - all Dewalt 18v batteries apparently are designed to work on all Dewalt tools no matter what... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uuT73y_k8o10year old tools and new tools - they will all work interchangeably ... how cool is that?

The Dewalt XRP line is a redesigned line of battery powered tools that use Lithium-Ion Batteries. These batteries provide longer use time and last longer than their previous batteries.

I'm about 99.9% sure ANY Li-ion 18 volt Dewalt battery can be used with this saw. I purchased it for my father only knowing he had an 18-volt Dewalt set of tools and it works just fine.

All 18 volt DeWalt batteries work in 18 volt DeWalt tools, but some have a much higher capacity than others. The compact battery is a low capacity battery, so don't be fooled by advertisers who suggest it's a "direct replacement" because it's not. Its a very low capacity battery that works in your 18 volt DeWalt tools. You also should know that you can't just go out and buy the more expensive Lithium Ion batteries, they require a special battery charger.
