I've had this NiCad powered Dewalt DC825 for many years and replaced the batteries several times. It was my first cordless tool set and I still have many of the tools that came with it. I was annoyed by Dewalt's choice to use a different battery connector when they switched from NiCad to LiPo. At the time there wasnt a simple adapter to power my 18v tools with their fancy new 20v max battery, or I was too stubborn to look for one. For a while I grudgingly bought new 18v NiCads to keep the tools running.
Eventually I decided to go with Ryobi for my next generation of LiPo power tools. The batteries on my Dewalt are starting to fail again: failing to charge, not keeping a charge and being dead when I need them. I don't want to buy a Ryobi impact driver either, because I'm cheap and the Dewalt still works.
... so I made this unholy combination:
Is it a DRyobi or a RyWalt?
