Genius. I just started thinking about powering my big monster RC trucks with Li-On drill batteries from China Freight and came across your vid. I will def try this.
I powered a castle sidewinder 3 setup on one and it was insane. Definitely worth the shit you'll break and have to replace lol. Axles, gears, control arms
LOL😂😂 I have been using the same set of batteries (about ten ) for the past three years!! I recharge old batteries of all types that I can harvest from old electronics !! Talk about saving the planet ?? Everyone should be doing the same thing. !
Theoretical question, i have a car pure sine 300w invertor(max load for my tasks is under 150w) which is rated at 12v (overvoltage protection kicks up at 15.6 ) and bunch of different brand 18v batteries ,all around 4AH, i want to print an enclosure with a step down DC DC converter and a standart cigarette car lighter port. Simple option - 1battery at a time,when it dies just swap the battery, 2nd - connect in series 2 batteries and step down 36 to 12 or 3rd option which i like the most, but not sure - connect 2 or more batteries in parallel with step down 18 to 12 converter, and make them hot-swapable if one of them dies first, but not sure about the circuit. What would you prefer?
Question that I can't seem to find the answer to. I have an RC boat that I built using all the running gear and inner workings of a Duratrax with a 9.6v (or something close) battery. I had a broken drill 18v so I decided to use it's battery to power the boat. BUT, being 18volts its going to fry the ESC and I'm sure other things if I keep pushing it. So I'm wondering how can I use the stock battery for everything except the motor? Like I want the drill battery to power the motor and the stock battery to power the steering servo and the speed controller etc. How do I hook that up? Thanks
Dude, you’re pretty awesome! Just stumbled across your video because I’m planning on designing some kind of compost shredder (lots of tree branch shredders but no compost ones) and I was wondering what size motor to get. But yeah, your video was brilliant.
LMFAO! IRON MAN SHIRT! AND i want to convert my corded mower to cordless.... and every video ive seen uses a car battery. which is exactly what I don't want. I want to run it off a drill batteries cuz I've got like four of them that I can constantly keep charged. I don't know if you've done this project yet but I'm going to watch the rest of your video. I had to pause and just compliment you first.
I want to power a radio with 2 20v 8ah battery's in parallel, but do I also need some sort of battery balancing? Or is this not needed? Radio runs on main 230 vac, 8 D-cell batteries or a 12V 5a auxiliary port from the car. I want to power the radio with the D-cell contact port. so I am going to hook the battery's together in parallel, then an underdischarge protection and after that a step down converter 8 to 40v dc to 12v dc 6ah Any advice?
How do you recommend to do the self study? I've been trying to research making a car or motorcycle battery supply for a drill and router, but having trouble.firguring out how long the battery will last, how to avoid draining it too much amd stuff like that . Any insight is appreciated thanks!
awesome video! Im doing the quad conversion possibly today. Im running 2 Milwaukee 18v to replace three 12v lead acid. I was just going to run series and a fuse. can you foresee any issues? I also have some Ryobi 40v I may try if I don't need to step them down.
Just get a DC to DC step down converter for the 40 volt. I'm about to do the same. I just acquired 2 40v batteries. I'll be using them with ham radio equipment using a adjustable step down then to a breaker then the radio's fused line. I can run basically 15v to 12.8v with 13.8v being optimal, so I have a margin for error.
I want to power the starter on a 4 Wheeler, and lawnmower, and other stuff with my drill battery. I don't want to maintain batteries on every machine. Can these be strong enough to turn a 12v starter?
Hey mate super useful video. Would you mind giving me a little quick dot point style reply? I got ADHD and struggle to take information in. Just need to know how I can use drill batteries to power my projects, without killing them really quick. I assume it's about not over drawing current from them correct?
Two Makitia Batteries in series for a 36v Stereo amplifier. What is the best way to protect from over discharge? 1. Adding a 36v protection board or 2. Adding individual 12-18v protection board to each makitia adapter? Makitia states that the protection is only in the tool & not in the battery. The bms board inside the battery will not shut it down. Any suggestions?
I really need help powering an Arduino with a drill battery. I have a buck converter but it just gets really hot and the display won't come on, when I power it with less vintage it works I have the del battery connected to two cytron md-10c motor driver's I have been using a separate power supply for the Arduino but that just seems silly. Can someone please help
Well you could start off with one of those kids electric cars lol.. What I really want to know is if you can rig drill batteries on their original charging docks to charge & be a power bank from the docks so if one battery pack goes bad you just swap in a new one & have added utility of a drill battery you can use for all your tools
Thank you for the video!! Got me thinking …. I was out to breakfast this morning and saw a family that had a child (6-8 years old) on a manual wheel chair that was challenged to keep up with the family on the way in : out without being pushed from behind … I was thinking what a wonderful idea it would be if a “simplified bolt on solution” could be added to to the chair to drive a wheel powered by a cordless drill like setup
Haha.. I can't throw anything out either. Ive just made my own adjustable(3-20v) adapter for my drill battery. With switch and BNC socket.. to couple with many old dead tools with added BNC plug.
*This is a super cool video. I try to do the same thing at home . I used several different tool batteries on tools from another brand. And I want to many a power station with them soon . Keep going with these projects man they are very inspiring.* 😃 DexterousX
I will say I like to see you do drill batteries powering a 20-inch box fan that would be a really popular conversion for people suffering from summer heat and high electric bills
Beware! Most power tool batteries does NOT have a build in bms and you can drain the battery to 0v on the terminals. I have only found a real bms in rigid/aeg 14-18v batteries so far so it is rare. The battery doctor
I am interested in using my Ridgid power tool batteries to provide power to my sofa and recliner. I know they make battery packs for this, but I have a few extra drill batteries. Would you be willing to help me make it work safely?
Hi, can you build a vacuum robot from scratch using a power tool batterie? I am interested in building one myself, but I don't know how. Can you recommend literature on how to build electrical engineering?
Charge/run them with a solar panel and modify the AC frequency to give a consistent output to handle a window unit AC load. I mean you'll need to keep them cold while discharging. Try using some capacitors on the power wheel to extend recharge life, just don't blow up your kid.
Hey bro I'm trying to make a Tippmann cyclone Speed-Feed that operates with air from the paintball marker I'm trying to turn it into an electric cycling Speed-Feed if there's a way I can show you
Ever since I was introduced to a little Amazon battery powered fan, and different converters for making batteries fit other tools, it dawned on me that this was possible, and now I want to mod a Nerf gun to run off of these batteries. The blaster in question, the Rival Perses, runs on a 9.6volt battery pack. So if my tool batteries are 20 volt, I should just need to add a resistor to lower the flow, right..? More testing is required.
As someone with ADHD I love doing the same things you do, I made a 4S 2P 10,000 mAh li-ion Polymer battery pack for an old car stereo with Bluetooth and wanna make a boom box for it lol. I also made a 12.6 volt battery for my little brothers New Bright RC Bronco that he likes a lot, lasts forever on one charge. Like, three 5 hours or something. And I use the same battery for a 12V inverter. In my opinion I love that and I think it's so cool.
okay you did do that project. but then you started talking about boost converters and voltage jumper amp things and you lost me. I need to find a video for dummies
So nice to see another champion of engineering who uses tinkercad instead of some expensive program

They are expensive recycling them for personal use is awesome. I use them for Bluetooth speakers. Last so many hours full blast.
Link for the circuit you use to adjust the volt?
yo dude! I know nothing about electricity but you're freaking interesting! you're like a natural behind the camera! LOL. just saying

18 to 12 would be the most efficient. The voltage difference is small.
The problem with parallel is charging them. Hot swap would probably be better.

Thinks it's possible to do this with a corded vacuum?
Hi, great video. how would a person use a dewalt 20v battery to heat a cup of water camping?
broooooo when you plugged your shirt in i spit beer all over my monitor LOL
me too, except it was milk.
Iv been wondering how much battery power would it take to consistently run a jobsite 10 inch table saw ? Well Normal use for an hour.
How about small personal electric heaters?
How do you recommend to do the self study? I've been trying to research making a car or motorcycle battery supply for a drill and router, but having trouble.firguring out how long the battery will last, how to avoid draining it too much amd stuff like that . Any insight is appreciated thanks!
This is my first time seeing him.
That led shirt really caught me off guard.

Can you please share the 3d print file for the battery mounts? I have the exact batteries and want to use them for projects as well
That was awesome! I hope the Chanel goes well :)
You don't have to take the PC board out of the inside of the batteries before hooking them together? And what about parallel?
I'm working on a 18 volt Makita powered TV. Two parts from Amazon and a clear prison TV.
I like this vids mate, u good person to learn off

How bout a golf cart!!! 😮 I want to see that!!
Can you show how to convert 18v batteries to power a 36v scooter?
You’re awesome man, subbed.
Can you power a Samsung Bluetooth speaker with this batteries?
Yes
Love this! 😀💙
IF YOU CAN'T HACK IT , GET YOUR JACKET. 😂 HEAD ON DOWN THE ROAD !! 😅
Coffee pot !
I use one to charge my laptop as backup,
It's 19v so it works great 🙃
How about a 12v portable camping cooler?
