Hi,  Did a search and could not find any relevant information…Your help is greatly appreciated.

To the best of my knowledge the Dewalt line of US (20v MAX) and European (18v XR) batteries are identical with different marketing techniques. 

Does anyone have confirmation that the battery receptacles are identical?

In other words, if I buy a DeWalt 20v Max Bare Tool in the US, can I travel with it to Europe plug a European 18V XR battery pack in to it?

Thanks for your help!

Yes, you can. The tools and batteries are interchangeable.

Yes, I can confirm too.

Note chargers voltage, it is not 100-240 v, it is only 110 or 220 v.
