Farm Update and: Upgrade old 18v Dewalt cordless tool: 20v lithium ion adapter kit review
What happens here
To prepare for a fair comparison, all batteries are put on charge. The two new 20V MAX Lithium-Ion batteries are placed on the included DeWalt 12V-20V MAX Charger (DCB115). For direct comparison, the last functional 18V NiCad battery is placed on its older DeWalt 18V NiCad Charger (DW9116). The creator highlights that the old NiCad battery often fails to achieve a full charge, indicated by a rapid blinking light on the charger, even after several attempts to reset it.
Goal: Ensure all batteries are fully charged for performance comparison.
