DeWalt 18V XRP battery compatibility
Checked against DeWalt's official product pages and manuals · updated 2026-09-27
Short answer
Every DeWalt 18V XRP / 18V NiCd stem-pack tool takes a DC9096-type stem battery — including CEENR 5.0Ah and 6.0Ah stem packs. We list 76 verified models below. Stem packs do not fit 20V MAX slide-pack tools. DeWalt's DCA1820 adapter lets 20V packs run most 18V tools, but DeWalt says it does not work in the DC608, DC616, DC618 and DC628 nailers — those need a native stem pack.

FAQ
Does an 18V XRP stem battery fit 20V MAX tools?
No. Stem packs (DC9096 family) and 20V MAX slide packs use different interfaces. For 20V MAX tools you need a 20V MAX slide battery.
Which DeWalt nailers need a native stem battery?
The 18V DC608, DC616, DC618 and DC628 nailers. DeWalt says the DCA1820 adapter fits them but does not work — a native 18V stem pack is the only DeWalt-supported power source.
My tool isn't on the list — will the battery still fit?
If your tool takes a DeWalt 18V stem pack from the DC9096 family, it fits. We only list models we could verify against a DeWalt source. Not sure? Email the model number to info@ceenr.com.
