Why the distinction matters
A FLEXVOLT pack can serve supported DEWALT 20V MAX and 60V MAX tools. An ordinary 20V MAX pack cannot be treated as a FLEXVOLT pack for a 60V MAX-only tool.
Use the manufacturer approval for the exact battery, tool and charger. A common voltage number or a shared manufacturer name is insufficient when the systems have different receivers or electronics.
