DeWalt 20V to Earthquake XT 20V Battery Adapter

Use your DeWalt 20V MAX batteries on Earthquake 20V XT cordless tools, without buying into a second battery platform. Both run at 20V, so the adapter changes the fitting and not the voltage. The battery side is injection-molded ABS and the tool interface is high-precision 3D-printed ABS for an accurate fit, with pure copper contacts carrying the current. It removes the need to keep separate batteries for different platforms, which saves money and simplifies the workflow.

Why choose this adapter

• Your DeWalt 20V MAX battery and Earthquake 20V XT tools run at the same voltage, so the adapter changes the fitting rather than converting anything.
• Solid copper terminals, so less of the current is lost as heat.
• 5 mm² internal wiring, rated for 40A continuous with 80A peak at 18VDC for up to 2 seconds, so a high-draw tool is not held back by the adapter.
• Covered by a 12-month warranty from the day it arrives.

DeWalt 20V MAX and Earthquake 20V XT compatibility

It works in one direction only: DeWalt batteries powering Earthquake tools. For the opposite pairing, see adapters that run on Earthquake 20V XT batteries.

Compatibility can vary with the exact battery and tool model. Before ordering, confirm that your battery belongs to the DeWalt 20V MAX platform and that your tool takes Earthquake 20V XT batteries.

Important charging and safety information

This adapter is for powering cordless tools and nothing else. It cannot charge DeWalt or Earthquake batteries and must never be connected to a charger of any kind. Always take the battery out of the adapter before charging, and charge it on the original charger made for your DeWalt 20V MAX battery.
