Can u use 18 volt lithium ion battery in a 18 volt regular battery drill?

Q. I have a De Walt XRP18 volt hammer drill with regular battery. Can I use a 18 volt lithium ion battery in that drill? can you interchange them?

A. Yes. & Yes.

Can you use a 24 volt drill with a lesser volt battery ?
Q. Got a Black and Decker 24 volt drill and the batteries are not sold anywhere. I always see 18 volt batteries at Walmart or Home Depot can I use ease batteries as a replacement for the 24 volt battery?

A. Nope. While the 18V may allow the drill to operate at a diminished capacity, the amount of amps drawn will kill the battery quickly.

Will a 18 Volt black and decker battery work in 24 volt drill?
Q. I have a 24 volt black and decker -firestorm- drill,saw, and sawzall. Will a 18 volt black and decker battery work for the tools?

A. in real application no...... it will run the drill, but poorly and will most likely not suffice

it wont simply run like an 18v drill.... it will run like a 24v drill with a dying battery

How do I charge/jump start the 18 volt battery of an antique car?
Q. It's a 1947 Cadillac, I was supposed to be starting it up periodically for the owner, but there's not enough juice. Can I just use a regular 12 volt starting pack, or just jump it off of my truck like a 12 volt battery, or are my options more limited?

A. First, a 47 Caddy has a 6-volt system not 18 volts. And, no, you cannot jump it with a 12 volt battery without risking serious damage to hard to find parts. Purchase a battery charger with a 6/12 switching system and use it to keep the battery charged.
