Battery powered grease gun recommendations?

There are adapters for the various 20ish volt batteries out there. That one looks almost OEM though. Nice work.
Badaptor Dewalt 18V/2 V Battery Adapter to Ryobi 18v One+ Tool | eBay although that one is kind of backwards for me. Flat faced batteries are easier to adapt than batteries with a post on them (like the One+ ones). Pile of files to print the adapters out on a 3d printer too on thingaverse or what not.
I've always had Craftsman cordless tools but in searching for a cordless grease gun I decided to switch to Dewalt. Ordered a combo kit with the 20v grease gun, 1/2" impact wrench, and worklight. Got the Lock n Lube also. Looking forward to the grease gun. I've used the typical manual gun for many years, tried a cheap Central Pneumatic air gun, which was more of a PITA than what its worth. From what I see here the Dewalt should be the ticket. I have 32 fittings from the FEL to backhoe, several on the dump trailer, atv's, etc. It should get a workout now and then. I'm anxious to try out the 1/2" impact on lug nuts too.

I don’t know how your luck would be on some oddball battery but you can buy adapters for the more common brands.

We do industrial forestry with different brands of battery powered grease guns, the dewalt 20v is ok once you plug off that relief valve, the Milwaukee 18v is a lot lighter as well as faster plus a few extra features, and an alemite that’s given us really good service as well. Most days they are used for an hour with about 10 to 40 tubes ran through them weekly.
I had not seen those.
Yeah, an adapter to put a Ryobi battery on a Dewalt tool would seem to be a better idea.
But, I would never need it.

I ended up getting the Milwaukee 18v. Good unit! Loads up easy, well made, and the air purge button works.
Couldn’t wait any longer on Makita to release theirs- so I got the battery adapter from Amazon.

Used it on my truck with the Lock n
Lube- worked as advertised!
Haven’t used it on the tractor yet.
( It’s still strapped to trailer I brought it home on )

Excellent choice! You will only need to purge the air the first time you put a cartridge in. Get a Lube Locker, makes greasing much easier.

Whether I'm using the "standard" zerk adapter, the needle point or the LockNLube adapter - the DeWalt battery grease gun is like having an extra set of hands. Just let the grease gun lie on the ground - make connection - find the trigger with the off hand.
Trying to keep the adapter in place and then pumping a handle can become a problem. I'm speaking mainly of those zerks that only an articulated monkey could reach.
