What compatibility data says

  • battery to tool — DCD805B: compatible. The DEWALT DCD805 manual explicitly lists DCB205 in its compatible battery table.
  • charger to battery — DCB118: conditional. The charger supports DEWALT 20V MAX packs and the battery is a 20V MAX model.

Exceptions, source limits and safety

  • An ordinary 20V MAX pack does not become a FLEXVOLT pack when placed near a 60V MAX tool.

A missing rating is not zero or universal support. Charger AC input and pack-to-tool use are separate checks.
