That is a homemade adaptor to allow me to run 18v Ryobi tools with a Dewalt 20v battery. Built in an hour from a dewalt 18v to 20v adaptor and a dead Ryobi battery.

It ain't pretty, but it works!

Does the adapter actually change the voltage, or is this a “meh, close enough” situation?

Yes. The dewalt half was the adaptor step down the m odern 20v dewalt batteries to the right voltage for the older 18v dewalt tools. I just used the Ryobi case and contacts to f it Ryobi tools.

The DeWalt 20v system is actually an 18v system, they raised the number for marketing. They sell an adapter for the 20v to 18v for DeWalt stuff.

I used one of those adaptors to make this. They have logic and a heat sink to monitor battery health because the two battery systems are different even if the voltage is nominally the same . If it was the same systems all it would need was wires to connect the two different connectors.

I have a passive adapter that lets me use new Black&Decker 20V lithium batteries with my old 18V NiMH tools. All it does is mate the plastic clips and pass the 20V through the contacts. All I use it for is an old leaf blower and flashlight that I thought I told the movers to leave behind but they moved anyway. Seem to work just fine on 20V.

Cool, Dude. Good hack. Years ago I took the batteries out of a 12V Dewalt pack and soldered a 20' good speaker wire to the prongs . Marine cig lighter plug on the other end. Then I could use the boa t’ s batteries to power the drill! But, these things could draw 30amps so the wire would get warm sometimes...

I fully endorse this bumblefuckery.
