Safety feature
Built-in BMS Protection
Integrated Battery Management System (BMS) helps prevent battery over-discharge and improves safety.
Use your Milwaukee M18 batteries on Dyson V8 cordless tools, without buying into a second battery platform. The molded ABS housing keeps it light and hard-wearing, and pure copper contacts keep current delivery steady. One battery platform across more tools means less spent on batteries and less to keep charged. It also carries battery protection electronics (BMS) inside.

Why choose this adapter
- A Battery Management System inside the adapter cuts power before the battery is drained too far — protection your battery may not have on its own.
- Injection-moulded ABS, not 3D printed — no layer lines to split under load.
- Solid copper terminals, so less of the current is lost as heat.
- Rated for 55A continuous with 100A peak at 18VDC for up to 2 seconds, so a high-draw tool is not held back by the adapter.
- Covered by a 12-month warranty from the day it arrives.
Milwaukee M18 and Dyson V8 compatibility
It works in one direction only: Milwaukee batteries powering Dyson tools. For the opposite pairing, see adapters that run on Dyson V8 batteries.
Compatibility can vary with the exact battery and tool model. Before ordering, confirm that your battery belongs to the Milwaukee M18 platform and that your tool takes Dyson V8 batteries.
Important charging and safety information
This adapter is for powering cordless tools and nothing else. It cannot charge Milwaukee or Dyson batteries and must never be connected to a charger of any kind. Always take the battery out of the adapter before charging, and charge it on the original charger made for your Milwaukee M18 battery.
How it works
-
1. Use the battery you own
Any compatible Milwaukee M18 battery of 3Ah or more.
-
2. Slide on the adapter
It goes where the original Dyson V8 battery sits.
-
3. Click in and work
No tools, no wiring, no modifications.
Milwaukee M18 to Dyson V8 — Common Questions
Will this fit my other Milwaukee batteries?
Only Milwaukee M18 batteries. Milwaukee also sells Milwaukee M12, Milwaukee V18 Ni-Cd, and those use a different socket — same brand, different rail and contacts, so they need their own adapter. Compare the rail on your battery with the photos before ordering.
Will my Dyson V8 tool run as long on a Milwaukee M18 battery?
Runtime comes from the battery, not the adapter: a 5.0Ah Milwaukee M18 battery lasts roughly twice as long as a 2.5Ah one. For this pairing use 3.0 Ah or more — a smaller battery can sag under what a Dyson V8 tool draws and cut out before it is empty.
Could this damage my Milwaukee M18 battery or my Dyson V8 tool?
Used with undamaged, compatible equipment it is not expected to. This adapter has its own Battery Management System, which cuts power before the battery is drained too far, so it protects the battery even where the battery has no protection of its own. Stop using it if the adapter becomes unusually hot, the contacts look damaged, or the tool behaves oddly.
Can I charge through the adapter?
No, and it should never be attempted. The adapter carries power one way only, out to the Dyson V8 tool — there is no charging circuit inside it. Connecting it to a charger puts the battery, the charger and the adapter at risk. Always take the Milwaukee M18 battery off the adapter and charge it on its own charger.
Does it work with third-party Milwaukee batteries?
Usually. What matters is the socket, not the badge: if the battery slides on and locks the way an original does, the adapter takes it and the Dyson V8 tool runs. Aftermarket moulding does vary, so if yours looks unusual send us a photo and we will check before you order.
How much does it add to the Dyson V8 tool?
152 g (5.4 oz) and a short extension between battery and tool. You notice it overhead or in a tight cabinet; on a drill or driver held normally it disappears.

Exactly what I was after, quick delivery. Super happy that my Dyson now lasts longer and I can change the battery for another without having to wait for it to charge (not that I have needed to as it lasts long enough to do the whole house now!)
A
Excellent. Very easy to install. Much longer run time with the Milwaukee battery compared to original Dyson.

This adapter has renewed my old Dyson vacuum. Super easy to install, only two screws. Just keep Dewalt batteries nearby and we are good to go.
C
The clip to hold the adaptor in the handle of the vacuum is difficult to latch, but otherwise it works great!
A
It’s working well

Works well. My regular M18's can't run on max but the high output batteries seem to work well. This isn't an issue due to the adapter, my regular M18's are older as well.
Indeed, the Dyson batteries runs at 21.6V (nominal) versus 18V power tools batteries. However, using good 18V battery will make the difference. Thank you for your business!
