    Abstract: A power tool including a dual role port, a bidirectional converter device, and an electronic controller. The dual role port is configured to receive power from an external device or provide power to the external device. The bidirectional converter device is connected to the dual role port, and is configured to transfer power from the dual role port to a power source of the power tool. The electronic controller is configured to determine that the external device is connected to the dual role port. The electronic controller is also configured to determine a role of the dual role port. The electronic controller is further configured to control operation of the dual role port.
