DeWalt Bauer Hercules Battery Adapter

[@phbrinsden]

I have all DW shop and yard tools with a good number of DW batteries. But DW doesn’t make a 20 v sprayer for the yard but Bauer does. I purchased the adapter to keep in my sprayer and it allows enough room in the housing to accommodate up to the DW 5 AH battery. Very pleased with the adapter so I can keep to one standard battery system.

[@RobPFrank]

Link to the adapter?

[@willhall7777]

I have primarily all Hercules tools.

[@mos8541]

Project Farmer showed that the DeWalt Japanse batteries were substantially better than the Grey Market counterfeit batteries, as well as the top of the line China Freight batteries. I have used the adapters to swap between REAL Makita and REAL DeWalt, worked great.

[@BRUCELAN168]

We all can use the adapters to swap between some REAl different brand of power tools, but this one (adapter) is "ONLY" for DeWalt or Hercules Battery to Bauer or DeWalt tools.

[@adrianwalthall4870]

Long-term I have used Dewalt genuine, the grey and blue knock-offs, and the black and red knockoffs and the knock offs are going over a year strong without issue. I use them nearly every day in cordless saws, hammer drills, multitools, etc. and charge them with a Dewalt quick charger. If they all crapped out today and I had to buy them two times over I'd still be doing better than buying the Dewalt batteries.

[@Inertia888]

@@adrianwalthall4870 I agree. Even though this demonstration shows that DeWalt's batteries probably have a better chemistry, and higher voltage output, with less battery sag, the less expensive batteries get the job done. The few minutes that a DeWalt battery might save me, over the course of an entire day of tool use, is not worth the money for me.

[@GmanInd]

You forgot to change the switch when testing DW bat on Herc driver....

[@yonodc5705]

And the Bauer battery on the Hercules

[@bryanholler8889]

Did it work when the switch was changed?

[@krisxlilheffx139]

Yes did the Hercules tool work with the Dewalt battery with the switch flipped. Does anyone know if there is a Hercules tool to DeWalt or Milwaukee battery adaptor?

[@Nektopoulo]

WOW THANKS, I know the adapter looks well, low budget but it works and give you the option to cross utilize batteries on other tools, this is great.

[@toolhead147]

Works for light duty use only.

[@gedionsamuel2256]

@@toolhead147Light duty meaning you can’t use this for say a shop vac on continuous for like 20-30 minutes? A 12AH Hercules battery would be capable of running wet dry vacs, chop saws etc.. but light duty restriction would say otherwise. Can you explain. Thanks

[@ThePainkiller3666]

Nice, good video bro. I'm definitely getting one and jumping into the dewalt line I have a stack of hercules batteries and most of the Hercules tools but they lack the amount dewalt has or bauer for that matter. Again, good job explaining and running through the battery/toolmatchups.

[@Snailmailtrucker]

We have a bunch of older DeWalt batteries that we want to use in the Hercules tool line ! Is there am adaptor for that ?

[@jessearms6769]

Would like to find the same thing

[@Inertia888]

Amp Hour of the battery, has no effect on the speed of the tool. (the tool draws Amps, the battery does not 'force Amps into the tool'. It is the Voltage, and the 'C' rating of the battery cells that change the speed of the tool. Amp Hours, are like the size of your gas tank. Voltage is like how much 'gas is being forced into the motor' (if my analogy makes sense to you, I hope) >Bottom line: don't worry about hurting your tool with higher Amp Hours. It's putting too high of a voltage that will hurt the tool. 'C' rating *might* do damage, but that is a whole other topic that we don't need to get into detail. Thank you for the video, I am looking to try an adapter for exactly the same reason as shown here.

[@Mtpmccarthy]

Hello- Great Video- The Ebay Link is not working. Can you repost? Thank you.

[@gpgp5211]

Damnit! I need to stock up on tools and Bauer has way more of what I need. Only thing they don’t make is a portable bandsaw. I was hoping to get the herc bandsaw and adapt a Bauer to it. Any word on a adapter that works to put Bauer on a herc?

[@RookJohnson1984]

[@JordanMoree]

Will the adapter charge a Hercules battery on a dewalt charger?

[@davidgutierrez8297]

So to me it seems this product is for people who have dewalt but want cheaper batteries from hercules or bauer. Or it can also be for people that have hercules tool and batteries, but want access to the extended line of bauer tools without paying for new batteries and chargers.

[@adrianwalthall4870]

Or, in my case, I have a plethora of Dewalt tools but I don't want to pay a billion dollars for the Dewalt fan, so I'm going to buy the Hercules one without having to buy another round of batteries and a charger. I roll my tools in a pack-and-go system so try to limit how much weight/space I use.

[@larryjanson4011]

i have a lot of dewalt battery's. and for the once or teice a year usage for a hedge trimmer not worth it spending a couple bills gor a trimmer charger and a couple battery's. if i can use the battery i have it will make the purchase or a trimmer worth it.

[@winningjames552]

Did anyone else see that the light that was activated every time he tried a battery on the Hercules drill? It also had a sound like the motor was stuck! @ 5:44 you can see the DeWalt Battery work on the Hercules drill YET the CLICK, CLICK. CLICK of the seized motor tricked him into thinking that the batteries didn't work. He was also confused about the tool selector switch and tried all of the batteries on the Hercules while the selector switch was pointing backwards. When he realized his mistake @ 6:03 he attempt to go through the batteries again, this time with the selector switch in the opposite position. Unfortunately he locked the motor by running all of the batteries in the wrong position already. You can actually see him realized he burned the motor @ 6:17 after bhe takes the Hurcules batery off of the Hurcules Drill ( Also when he opened the package and said that he red button/latch was "Fake" he again was confused at it's necessary and clever function. @ 1:37 Each of the batteries have a sprung detent latch/button that latches onto their respective tool's Hasp height (the height of other side of a latching mechanism, molded into the tool's body, allowing for firm attachment), yet this adapter was created to adapt any of the 3 brands of batteries tested to any of the tools tested. In order to be able to adapt all batteries, there must be a different Hasp height and the designer of this adaptor created it to be self adjustable while taking advantage of each of the battery's sprung detent latch/button mechanism. This is quite the adapter! Great job on the design, I appreciate whomever thought this through so thoroughly! So much so that people can't even figure out why it works so well! (When they follow directions!! LOL!!) That's skill!

[@bryantaber8312]

No..The Bauer adapters dont work on Hercules tools. I have 3 adapters. Ive been searching Amazon and Ebay for a year. And Btw. I have 2 of this particular adapter and they both failed within 6 mos.

[@AllAroundTube50]

Amp/hours does not increase torque, it increases run time. Voltage is what increases max power (in this case, 20 volt is the max). Try and use more than 20 volts and you would burn out the motor.

[@dsmithwc04]

Amp hour does indeed increase power(watts) because you increase the available current (Amps). P= V*A. So 20V x 2A = 40watts and 20V x 5A = 100watts. Now if the drill is power limited via the logic board then any more Amps available in the battery would simply be used as extra capacity or run time but one would have to test the drill to see what the max allowable power draw is.

[@chaos.corner]

@@dsmithwc04 This is incorrect. Look into Ohms law.

[@dsmithwc04]

@@chaos.corner I’m aware. I majored in ECET at Purdue University. A 1.5v batteries will have more potential output if it’s capacity is larger than an otherwise identical battery. Same reason a 1500mah 6S lipo will output more watts a than a 6000mah 6S lipo. This is very basic stuff.

[@chaos.corner]

@@dsmithwc04 Something like a drill is typically power-limited by the motor so will draw, for example, 1A on a 1.5A battery and still 1A on a 3A battery. Original poster is correct in this context. I=V/R. You signal the key to your error when you write "potential" but then compound your error in the next paragraph. We are not talking potential output but output with a well defined, unchanging motor.

TTC did enough dyno test to show that absolutely, some tools do make more power with more Amp hours

You don't need the adaptor on the Hercules to use it's own battery and you had it set for Bauer when trying the dewalt battery.

[@jeremymullins3241]

I own nothing Bauer or herk. Because I think they are too expensive when compared to better brands on promo. I but all my tools on promo and buy nothing at MSRP. You know the buy one get one, or buy more save more promos. I might buy one with something like this one day if they come out with something I feel I would need. But only if they decide to throw a warranty with their tool longer than 90 days
