I've a load of 20v tools from porter cable and was looking for a light duty cordless 20v vacuum. Seems that they may not be made anymore. Anyone researched to see if the PC batteries will work in new Craftsman tools that Lowes offers?

Have you checked eBay, and local sites like Offerup? I had old Porter Cable 18v batteries and got tools I wanted from both those sites for cheap.

My guess is it'll run with an adapter, you might even wanna check the Black and Decker 20v series as well as Dewalt since its all one platform now.

Possibly hf Hercules Brand could work to

The only direct transfer ones are B&D and Porter Cable. Small slice off of the battery casing, and the B&D battery fits. You do need to cut an angle on the bottom of the PC tool. For PC batteries, a small slice and they should work fine.

This is accurate. I’ve researched it for my PC20v battery collection.

There was a series of Craftsman cordless tools, the "Bolt-On" system, which also used the Black&Decker/Porter Cable batteries. Sears sold the batteries for this system as "Die Hard" branded 20V batteries. Not sure if this is of any help to you as this system is no longer sold, but wanted to make a note of it for anyone else researching battery cross-compatibility. None of these fit the new SBD Craftsman V20 line, which is unfortunate. As I already had a bunch of PC/B&D batteries, I would have bought into their line instead of Milwaukee. It's a shame, too - you can practically see the entire line of what would have been Porter Cable 20V tools dressed in all red at Lowe's.

What battery is compatible with Craftsman 20V?

OVERVIEW. V20 4.0Ah Lithium Batteries (2 pack) were built for those take charge individuals. Made of two rows of premium grade cells and offers 3x longer run time of a standard V20 lithium battery. It is compatible with the CRAFTSMAN® V20 20V MAX cordless power tool and outdoor tool lineup.

What batteries are compatible with Porter Cable tools?

Powerextra 20V Max 6.0Ah Lithium Replacement Battery Compatible with Porter Cable PCC685L PCC680L Cordless Tools Batteries.

Is Porter Cable and Craftsman the same?

Though they are different, Porter-Cable and Craftsman are owned by a joint parent company: Stanley Black & Decker. However, Craftsman has a more diverse catalog of devices and is more prevalent in stores. These two companies are not the same, but they may share some things in common.

Are Craftsman batteries compatible with brands?

So long as the brand and voltage are the same, the packs are fully interchangeable.
