Convert Bosch 9.6v NiCd battery to 12.6v Li-Ion

Nice conversion, good to see life in the old dril

[@DaftOldMan]

I just need the owner to collect it.

For even easier swap, I bought Parkside 12V 2AH battery for like $10, it has protection already in the pack and you can drop it right in ;) (of course you just need to pull it from the outer shell).

[@DaftOldMan]

That is a great suggestion. I did that with a 12v lead acid torch conversion a few weeks back. It will be on youtube one day😬

Nice conversion. When you compare the old 12v drill to the new ones, the new ones are a lot smaller, just shows how time and technology moves on.

[@DaftOldMan]

The newer machines use planetary gears which shortens them alot. Thanks for commenting.

Good work. My only concern is that not all motors will accept 12,6v when designed for 9,6v. I would probably add a step-down module. 👍🏻

[@DaftOldMan]

Thank you for commenting. So far I find that most DC motors are happy to run at higher voltage. The main problem is over-speed with over voltage.

How long do these batteries work?. just to know.. ready to make convertion.

[@DaftOldMan]

The owner uses the drill mostly for small screws and it lasts for weeks on one charge. Much better than original batteries.

Thanks, I did and its successful.

[@DaftOldMan]

That is great. well done

[@ritapunzal9438]

Boom! It works! Thanks man.

Is there enough room to fit 6 cells (2p3s)?

[@DaftOldMan]

I think you can get 6 cells in the main body of the battery but the lid will not fit. I think you could find a way round this.
