does it work with 18 V NI-CAD battery?

Yes, you can use either Lithium-Ion Battery (PC18BL, PC18BLX or PC18BLEX) or Ni-Cd Battery (PC18B). You just need to be sure to use the correct charger. Charger PCXMVC is the best choice as it is dual-chemistry.

Yes it does, that's how I run mine and works great. Don't get overly aggressive using the grinder as it will take your battery down more quickly.

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

No. Ni-Cad batteries don't seem to bounce back as well as Li-Ion and once the battery is dead there is no hope for it. I had to replace 2 batteries so I bought two Li-Ion with the required charger and I have been very satisfied with the performance improvement in terms of power and running time.

Yes. I bought this battery for my old 18 volt nicad drill and it works really well. One thing the battery doesn't go all the way dead like the nicads,it just quits working or works intermittently then time to recharge.also I bought a new charger because wasn't sure if the old one would charge ion

I use the charger for standard 18 volt NiCad, 18 volt XRP NiCad, and 18 Volt Lithium Ion and it works with all these. I hope this proves useful to you in making your decision.

It is not a ni-cad so you won't have a memory issue with these batteries. The battery removes easily if you want to keep a fully charged spare available. Since it works on 115 volts AC as well as 12 volts DC the battery is really needed when you are away from the human grid. There is always that crank if all else fails. This is one really flexible radio. Dave (GMRS License kaf9292).

Hello! I have several 18V Ryobi Lithium batteries. This is where I use the this charger. Works great! RCH

Hi Tony, the only batteries I have are the 18V Ni-Cad's, so I can't give you a definitive answer. You might check the DeWalt site and look for the tool number, perhaps they would have more info there. Sorry I couldn't answer your question. Good Luck, Joe.

I'm not sure, I use the 18 volt lithium ion and ni-cad on all my stuff. I know that they interchange. I would say if it fits the tool, it should work. On my worx weedeater, I went to a 20 volt, no problem.

Yes, this item will accept the 18V high capacity Li-Ion battery for DeWalt.

This is a Dewalt charger. I'm using mine successfully with a Black & Decker 18V battery, see no reason it wouldn't work on Dewalt.

I don't know. All I can tell you is that my original battery is identified as "BT-17333/BT-27333" 3.6V 400mmAh Ni-Cd. So, I guess if your original battery reads the same, it may work.

It will work with almost all rechargeable & it can automatically identify Li-ion, Ni-MH & Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries. It will not unless your batteries are rechargeable. I hope this will help you

No, chargers for the Ni-Cad batteries will not work for Lithium batteries unless they are the 'duel chemistry' chargers, which will work for both battery types.

YES, I have both 18v Nicad and 18v Lithium batteries and they both work, although when using the Lithium battery the tool seems to have more power. Maybe just my imagination. To my knowledge all 18v DeWalt batteries will work in all 18v DeWalt tools. I really like mine, well worth the money.

No, Li batteries have different voltage characteristics than Ni-Cd ones. They also do not fit physically Ni-Cd charges.

This vacuum uses a smaller 18 volt battery than my drill did. It is apparently the newer designed battery. This one is a flatter design but there are two sizes of this battery and both work but if you have the older, heavier battery pack it will not work in this product. If in doubt which battery pack you have you can go to makitatool.com and check the part numbers that work with this product. This vacuum works with the Li-Ion battery not the Ni-Cad battery pack. These batteries charge in about 15 minutes.
