The blog discusses the misleading voltage labels on DEWALT's 18V and 20V Max tools. It explains that both tools operate at the same nominal voltage of 18V, but the 20V Max tools display the maximum potential voltage for marketing purposes. The blog also clarifies that DEWALT's 18V tools are compatible with their 20V Max batteries and vice versa, delivering the same power and runtime. It emphasizes that there is no noticeable performance difference between the two, and buying decisions should be based on compatibility and performance, not the numbers on the voltage labels.

Unraveling the Mystery: DEWALT's 10.8V and 12V Max* Batteries Explained

Bruce Shadwell

The blog post discusses the confusion between DEWALT's 10.8V and 12V Max* batteries. Nominal voltage is the average output while maximum voltage represents peak power. Both 10.8V and 12V Max* batteries have the same nominal voltage, but the latter showcases its maximum voltage. DEWALT rebranded to 12V Max* for marketing purposes, emphasizing peak performance. Both 10.8V and 12V Max* batteries are compatible with each other's tools and chargers. Despite the difference in labeling, the power output and runtime of both batteries are the same. The key is focusing on actual performance rather than labeled numbers.
