I have a 1/2 inch dewalt 18v drill with the standard 18v nicd battery, i have seen now there is a NANO 18v pack, Lipo battery... is this correct? will it work in place of my nicd battery?

 

I do not think that they are interchangeable, but I am not 100% sure.

 

I dont think it would work - looks like a different shape - plus the charger wouldnt work either. If you are buying 2 new batteries plus a charger - youy may as well buy a whole new drill.

Are your batteries the regular ones or the XRP's?? You might be able to get away with the XRP's.

Isn't that the truth. I just did that not to long ago I needed a couple new batteries and they wanted $119.00 for 2. I found a really sweet right angle 18v drill with 2 batteries and charger on sale for $159.00. I figured that drill was worth having for 40 bucks It comes in handy

 

XRP and the nicd batteries are interchangable.

 

mine is the non XRP, what is the difference betweent he XRP and the standard nicd? I absolutely love my drill.. hard to believe that dewalt is making 36volt now... pretty soon it will be 110 volt cordless?

 

XRP's are extended run time - still Nicad though.

 

I found 2 XRP batteries with a charger for $110 on ebay.

 

I have several Dewalts, both regular and xrp's and we mix the batteries up all the time, so I would think if it's interchangeable with the xrp you should be fine with regular ones too.
