I unintentionally tested the adapter’s durability a couple of times.

I don’t have a USB-C-chargeable laptop yet, and so I have not been able to test that aspect. The adapter charges my smartphone and tablet without hiccup. I like that everything is nice and compact, and that I can use other USB-C chargers in a pinch if needed. I’ve tested the adapter as a Dewalt battery charger, and it works great. I am now of the firm belief that all future cordless power tool brands’ USB adapters should feature USB-C PD. The Convenience of USB-C PD and Two-Way Charging Stage 2 Charging, with a solid red light on the left and flashing red light on the right, indicates that the connected Dewalt 20V Max battery has been charged to at least 80%.īoth LEDs are solid red when the connected battery is fully charged. Stage 1 Charging, with flashing red light, indicates that the connected Dewalt 20V Max battery is being charged. All Dewalt 20V Max batteries, aside from their 1.3Ah and 1.5Ah batteries, have built-in charge indicators. There’s no battery capacity gauge, and so it might be best to use battery packs with built-in indicators. The LED indicators are clear and simple, with different light patterns to convey the state of charge and operational status.

The charging adapter has two ports – a USB-A port, and a USB-C PD input and output port. You can use lower power AC charging adapters as well – I tested the adapter with a 20W USB-C smartphone charger, and it seemed to work just fine, albeit slowly.

(This creates the most compact portable battery bank configuration possible.) I have the Dewalt power adapter connected to and charging a Dewalt PowerStack battery. And, with the included – or industry standard – accessories, you can use the adapter as a Dewalt 20V Max power tool battery charger. You can use the DCB094 as a USB power adapter, turning any Dewalt 20V Max or FlexVolt battery into a portable power bank.

If you have the 14- or 16-inch MacBook Pro or Mac Studio, they have a full-sized HDMI 2.0 port. To connect a display with mini DisplayPort, you need an adapter like the Answin USB C to Mini DisplayPort adapter ($18 on Amazon Remove product link). Amazon sells the Cable Matters USB-C to DisplayPort Adapter cable Edit non-product link Remove non-product link for $18/£30, and it supports 4K video at 60Hz. To connect to a DisplayPort display, you need a USB-C to DisplayPort cable or adapter. So there probably will be no fix coming from Apple. Apple declared these displays as “Vintage” in July 2021, which means that the company will not supply parts for repairs, nor do they promise to provide OS support. Apple has not addressed the issue, which seems like it could be a compatibility problem with the M1’s GPU.
