They make 2 styles of battery all tool nicad lithium ion or nimh that use the pod style battery can interchange batteries and charger. The slide style battery tools all use the same style batteries and are interchangeable with each other.

Yes. Some Hitachi 18v cordless tools come with a "pod-style" battery that pushes up into the tool and some come with a "slide" battery.

Yes, it comes with 2 batteries and a charger but no light. However, the Hitachi DS18DSAL 18-Volt 1/2-Inch Drill/Driver kit is much better. The 1/2" drill is no heavier and much better balanced than the DS14DSL is and the batteries are better, too.

No, its a separate battery charger. You need to take the battery off of the bottom of the tool and put it in a charger.

No, all of the brands use their own unique battery attachment designs. It's virtually unheard of to be able to mix and match various brands. You must also purchase the correct voltage battery. 12v tools require 12v batteries, 20v tools require 20v batteries.

Ryobi's been using the same battery standard for over ten years. They've been through three generations of li-ion and at least one ni-cad in that time, and any tool will take any battery and vice-versa. You may need to buy a charger that will handle the new battery packs, but the entire point of their One+ system, their entire decade-long marketing campaign, is that everything works with everything. The only difference you should notice is that old tools are different colors than your new battery, and that everything works better now. Not a shill, I swear - just an *extremely* satisfied customer burned by discontinued batteries more than I like to think about.

Each 20V worx tool comes with a battery charger only. I have 3 tools.. 3 chargers 3 batteries.... and they work great. If the project gets a little long... I have backup ready to go. I hope you enjoy these tools as much as I do...

All of the tools and batteries that I have from Earthwise have been interchangeable. While the tools come with the smaller battery, I have purchased the larger battery to get even longer run time. The charger that comes with any of the tools charges the 2.5 amp batteries as well. I have the 10" chain saw, pole saw, hedge trimmer, and blower. All have worked very well and I have no problem with any of the batteries of either size.

The same batteries will work on all three units. Hitachi is very strict about being open about specs and product capabilities, so they provide more information than others might. The 12V peak, 10.8V nominal is just an indication of that.

No. That is why this one was about half-price. My experience has been that it is often cheaper to buy more tools, just to get the battery packs and chargers, than to pay full price for "bare" batteries.

Mine came "Tool Only" no battery. I bought a bare tool. That means no batteries, chargers......

The charger states on it 110v only. I tried a step down transformer from 230 -> 110v and the charger would not work with this. In the end just plugged the charger direct into 230v and it seems to work fine (for around 4 months). I suspect the 110v and the 230v chargers that hitachi offers are exactly the same. Hope this helps.

We already had one for our other Makita products, screw guns, etc. so we just use those. I imagine you could buy just a battery and charger at Home Depot or even on Amazon.

My Hitachi WH10DCL included two BCL 1015 Batteries and one UC10SFL Charger.

Hi there. I just went and looked. Two 12v batteries and the freestanding charger. You'll need the charger but two batteries invites buying an additional "bare" 12v Bosch compatible tool! And I have. Great little tools! And this scope has been a blast. Time saver wise.

No. I bought mine as a bare tool. I have a set of these 18V batteries that I use on other Makita cordless tools - two drill/drivers, circular saw and an LED light. All this stuff I serve with one charger.

The battery has to be the specific size for your particular tool. The charger can be use for different size batteries.
