Lidl 18v batteries, do they fit De-Walt cordless?

[Clodi]

In our local Lidl they have batteries for their cordless tools range. They look very similar to the batteries I use on my De-Walt Drill & Jigsaw. Has anyone tried, or does anyone know if they're compatible. They come with charger and a very good price & you can't have too many spares.

Why not take your drill in and try one ?

Or buy one and return it if it doesn't fit ?

Thing is drills & charger are on boat on the K&A and I'm in Wales, but I think I'll buy and return if it dosn't fit and I'll post the result.

Good idea - I'll await your findings with interest.

Plenty of equivalent types of  battery on fleabay,much cheaper than manufacturers , never had a problem ,just make sure you run them fully down and recharge them every 6 months.???

Lidi batteries are 20volt not 18volt. Can't help with compatibility.! But very much doubt it.
