Nicely done. I get a kick out of making my own packs. I saw your pack on Torque test last week; nice. I was having issues with the boards not allowing enough current to pass. I started adding (12-14awg) directly from the battery + to the tool connector. I do think we're losing current through the basic slide tension tool to the battery connectors though.
Someday when I have time I’m going to look for a dead used Makita battery and rebuild it with these Molicell cells. The idea of a high output compact 5 cell battery for impacts and drills intrigues me, especially since Makita don’t seem to be interested. Nice work! I’ll be referring to your videos for guidance in setting myself up for higher level soldering jobs!
AS you likely already know, have to watch prying off the battery connection strips (spot welds), I had one puncture the battery as it pulled off and sprayed electrolyte.
I saw my local store launched 6ah 12v hyper tough batteries! The impact wrench also changed to come with a 4ah and a fast charger for $54.88. Also came with 2 speeds.
I scored a Craftsman 12v cordless 5.5 inch circular saw with a dead NiMH battery pack for free. For chuckles, I made up a backpack 74AH LiFePO4 pack using 4 LEV60F cells I already had and a 25 amp Daly BMS using cut off bits of the original pack and 3D printed parts. It actually works surprisingly well for rafter tail cutoff.
@@ThriftyToolShed Thanks for making and sharing quality vids of modifying/repairing the battery packs. It's good to see some good techniques to help us troglodytes.
Good work, as is your usual. Agree about price being limited reasoning for rebuild, especially if you don't do the work often. That bus fire is an eye opener! Thanks for your time!

I believe so also. I was actually a bit worried the board to tool connections might evaporate before TTC was done testing...🤣
Thanks for your comment!

It was mentioned in the video.....
What I get for commenting part way through:)
I came across this guy for electronic repairs, this guy is supper educational and informative . THANKS BRO
Thanks for your kind comment! I really appreciate it!
@@ThriftyToolShed no worries bro, thanks 👍

Awesome!
Id like you to test the 6.0Ah to see if it's worth it. Great channel 👍
I could smell this channel
Some of the 12v batteries are compatible with the nextec, you just have to swap the bottom/collar. There's 3d printed ones you could use too.
Hyper tough now offers the 6ah for the 12v line
This is a great video!
