[Shop-talk] Porter Cable PC18B - Lithium replacement?

[eric at megageek.com]

I haven't seen any other manufactures do this.  It is one reason I'm glad 
I have Dewalt.

Note- you can also get awesome deals on 18v NiCd tools, buy the adaptor 
and a few batteries and you are in business!

I don't know about PC batteries, but Dewalt made an adaptor for their NiCd 
tools to use the new Li batteries. 

It's only a mechanical adaptor

Works great, so I would image any NiCd tool can use a Li battery.
