Can you use a higher capacity battery in a 40V tool?
You can generally use a higher capacity battery (that is one with more amp hours and thus run time) but the battery itself has to be 20 volts. Higher voltages will destroy the tool. Subsequently, question is, are all 40v batteries interchangeable? No, they are not interchangeable.
Can you replace a 20v battery with a 40V?
As long as it uses a 20V or 18V battery, you can swap it for any replacement battery or charger. In this way, are 20v or 40v batteries interchangeable?
Can you use a 40V battery in a 20v tool black and Decker?

What is the difference between a 20V battery and a 40V battery?
Battery Voltage The higher the voltage, typically, the more cells that are in the battery pack. So when comparing a 40V pack to a 20V pack, in most cases the 40V pack will have more cells which means more power capacity available.
Can I use a 40V battery in a 36V tool?
Regarding ratings, a 40V and 36V batteries are the same, just like 20V and 18V tool batteries are the same. They are just different ways of rating the pack for marketing bull excrement.
What cordless batteries are interchangeable?
All Flexvolt batteries for cordless power tools, such as the 12.0 AH, 9.0 AH and 6.0 AH, are all interchangeable with the 20v to 60v Dewalt power tools. If you are using a 120v cordless tool, then no problem.
Is higher voltage better for cordless tools?
Voltage measures the battery's energy, and amperes measure current. Batteries with higher voltages work with more powerful cordless tools and provide the energy required for most high-torque applications.
Is it OK to leave a lithium ion battery on the charger?
Armed with this knowledge, it becomes clear that if the correct voltage limit is set for the lithium ion battery you are charging, there should be no issue leaving a lithium ion battery on the charger.

Can I use a 36v battery in a 18v tool?
These are different batteries and are not interchangeable. Every tool that states it is 18v can interchange its battery with other 18v units and 36v tools can interchange their battery with other 36v tools.
Does a higher Ah battery give more power?
In general, higher amp hours mean more runtime and higher voltage means more power.
Are Kobalt 40V batteries interchangeable?
Kobalt also offers a 40V battery pack for its tools. Again, they are not all interchangeable among Kobalt tools because of the size of the pack.

Only reason to by the 20/60v battery is if you are buying the 60v and 120v Dewalt tools and tool accessories. In this manner, can you use a 40v battery in ...
What is the difference between 20V and 40V?
The central difference between 20V Max and 40V Max appliances is the battery (resp. the battery voltage). Popular battery leaf blowers are by now operated with lithium-ion batteries – usually with 20- or 40V. But 20V- and 40V leaf blowers do not only differ in terms of used batteries.
Can you use a 20 volt battery?
No, not without intervening circuitry to step down the voltage to 20 volts. You can generally use a higher capacity battery (that is one with more amp hours and thus run time) but the battery itself has to be 20 volts. Higher voltages will destroy the tool.
Can you use 40 volt and 20 volt?

How to make a 40V 2A battery?
To make a 40V 2A battery out of 2 20V 2A batteries, you connect in series. To make a 20V 4A battery out of 2 20V 2A batteries, you connect in parallel. So connect your batteries in series. That's true. I wanted only to add that with 4x 20V batteries you can double the voltage as well as current.
How many cells are in a 40V battery?
A battery is just a series of cells. A "20V" Lithium battery is a series of 5 lithium cells. A 40V battery would simply be 10 cells in series, equivalent to two packs.
Can you charge a 20V battery without taking it apart?
It goes without saying that the 20V packs should ideally be joined without taking them apart, so you can charge them on their original charger, but it sounds like that was what you intended.
Can a 40V charger draw more current than a 20V charger?
I'd say it should be possible, theoretically. But you have to make sure the 40V devices don't draw more current than the 20V ones are rated for. Intuitively I'd guess they draw less, because double the voltage means the same power can be produced at half the current, but in case the 40V packs have been created for particularly heavy-duty devices (as in: a different class of tools than the 20V devices, e.g. 20V -> Electric Screwdriver, 40V -> Electric Chainsaw...) you still have to check.
Is a lithium ion battery a BMS?
So, while electrically, the below answers are correct, lithium ion wise they are not. Sophisticated Li-ion batteries, like the dewalt ones have electronic circuitry in them called a governor, or a BMS (battery management system). These devices monitor voltage/amp/temp/etc and have shut down circuitry in case of a fault. If you were to try building an adapter that could actually safely hold the batteries, figure out the dewalt pin configurations and actually wire the batteries in series so it outputted and mated with a connector that fit onto the 40volt tool correctly and securely, odds are the dewalt batteries or tool would sense something is amiss and go into protection mode. Only dewalt, with the ability to interface with the circuitry could ever make such an adapter. BTW it would be fairly large and cumbersome even if they did and probably throw the balance and weight off on the tool. Remember the default amperage for the 40v battery is 6aH, so series sum in the 20volt does nothing to the amperage, so two 20v 3 ah batteries is still 3ah@40v. You would need two 20volt flex 6ah to match the same AH, how heavy would that be!
Does a battery void a warranty?
Naturally, all of this immediately voids warrant y on all the equipment involved. Both batteries and your tool will be technically unsupported if anything fails. Also, there is a measure of danger involved.
Can you double the voltage of a 20V battery?
That's true. I wanted only to add that with 4x 20V batteries you can double the voltage as well as current. You make 2 package of 2x 20V batteries connected in series (you connect positive of one battery with negative of the other, the same for the other pack). Then you connect the two resulting packs you built in parallel (connect the two free negatives together and the two free positives together).
