February 25, 20233 yr Author Cheap broken tools off eBay and scavenge the mount? One possibility, for sure. You appear to be able to buy 'faulty' tools for around £30. But then, how to know if its not the battery mount that is 'faulty' ?
February 25, 20233 yr One possibility, for sure. You appear to be able to buy 'faulty' tools for around £30. But then, how to know if its not the battery mount that is 'faulty' ? Unlikely compared to other bits that fail. Usually gearbox or motor first on the cheap ones, then battery... For same idea but probably better batteries I'd go Makita or De Walt. Might be worth trying local recycling centre too. And should be less than £30: I expect a lightly used but fully working Makita of the now old fashioned brushed motor type for that!
February 25, 20233 yr To use power tool batteries you need to connect them in series using the gizmos in the link. 18V Li-ion Battery Adapter DIY Wire Cable Connect Output Tool For Makita / Bosch | eBay If using 36v battery's rewire the units with 14 or 12 awg wire , if wanting more ah current wire two in parallel.
February 26, 20233 yr Author If using 36v battery's rewire the units with 14 or 12 awg wire , if wanting more ah current wire two in parallel. So that adapter plate can be used for the 36V batteries, if the wires are upgraded ?
February 26, 20233 yr The specs claim 14awg so the wire is capable of more then 10a if it is silicone awg. If the wiring isn't silicone then change it as the silicone awg handles heat better plus is highly flexible. One assumes the battery footpring for 18v &3 6v is the same except for a larger battery stack size with the latter.
February 26, 20233 yr If you like doing these sort of DIY projects, get a 3D printer and make them - and everything else you want or need. This printer is very popular and does a good job. They're not exactly expensive now. https://www.crealityofficial.co.uk/products/official-creality-ender-3-3d-printer People have already designed everything like that. all you have to do is download the file and print it. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2992018
February 27, 20233 yr But does the holder for an 18V battery also fit a 36V battery ? It will do if the two batteries are identical in fitment and share exactly the same foot print.
