Probably a dumb question and unlikely, but can one of the new 20volt Lithium Ion batteries fit into the 12volt line of tools? I’m tired of having 4 different brands with all the different chargers and want to stick to one system.  So far, I’m narrowing down to Dewalt and Bosch.

I’m interested in getting both a new 20v Drill and Impact driver, but would like the flexibility to use the batteries in some of the 12 volt lines tools and accessories.

no, but the dewalt charger can charge all the new XR batteries though, so 1 charger for any dewalt XR battery
