Anyone experience the black and decker 18v & 20v max system? Both system use lithium battery and the batteries for both system looks identical. 18v system usually found in UK while 20v max system in US. I wonder the batteries are interchangable between the 2 system? Cant google much info so far.

QUOTE(lucifah @ Nov 4 2017, 12:14 PM) just marketing gimmick la. both are the same 20V sounds better than 18V rite? same like 12V and 10.8V both are the same, just that 12V sounds better than 10.8V those uninformed will say, wahhh dewalt 20V worh... kalah lo your bosch/makita/milwaukee/hitachi/hilti 18v Fully understood that the 18v & 20v are same as they both using 5 lihium cells... The reason i ask is that i have plenty of B&D 20v max batteries that bought directly from US. Its rarely find anyone sell the B&D 20v max system here but found some 18v system with the battery look similar. If they are fully compatible then i can go ahead with some 18v power tool system here.

QUOTE(lucifah @ Nov 4 2017, 07:45 PM) just asking, how did u import li-ion batteries from US? i've been forced to buy solo tools (tools sans batt) since they dun allow shipping of li-ion packs Not too sure about US export policy. Back to few years ago, i bought a B&D handheld vacuum plus battery through a US spree service here. Recently from ebay, an US seller actually ship the battery worldwide. I bought and just received it. So far i dont face any difficulty.
