Drill Master 18V Power Tools Battery Conversion GuideLooking for a Drill Master battery adapter to use other brands' battery packs on your Drill Master 18V power tools? You came to the right place. This page provides recommendation of battery adapters and various methods for you to do just that. 
Drill Master 18V system uses a Ni-Cd battery pack. The power tool is completely analog, so the power tool can be driven at almost any voltage as it only affects the power and speed. Higher voltage then the rated 18V may damage or wear out the motor prematurely. 18V / 20V lithium ion battery pack will work on it just fine. But be careful using unprotected lithium battery packs; you don't want to drain the battery pack completely down.
