Damn, now I feel like I made the wrong choice when I bought into the Ryobi One+ power tools. Would be nice if we just had batteries that are compatible across different manufacturers' lines. Sigh.

As long as the voltage is the same, you can buy or make (3d printed plus a little bit of wiring—you can find files on thingiverse) adapters.

The 20V line of DeWalt, Porter Cable and Craftsman are all compatible with slight modifications to the plastic on the battery housing.

I know that's too much effort for most people, but it's nice to know that it's possible.
