Why

✓ Both use DeWalt 12V MAX battery platform (incl. XTREME).

Good to know

Not interchangeable with 20V MAX or FLEXVOLT tools.
12V MAX is the maximum initial voltage; DeWalt states nominal voltage is 10.8V, which is how the class is often labeled outside North America.
Some DeWalt chargers (e.g., DCB115, DCB1104) charge both 12V MAX and 20V MAX batteries.
