Watts The Calibre Tool For Your Mac Batteries

Ok this is my 1st instructable so please be kind. Are you like me when it comes to cordless tools? I get so frustrated with half finished projects and hours of wait time while those 'convenient' cordless tools charge. So, i wanted to add wall power to them but, the key for me was to achieve this and not make a permanent mod to the tool itself. Now the real question is. HOW result do i get that result? Surprisingly it's really simple, minimal soldering required and again not a permanent modification to the tool.

The best part is that i can change from tool to tool for flexibility, i can still use battery packs when an outlet isn't available and it cost me no money. OH and it only took about 30 minutes. OK let's get hacking!! 1) cordless tool(s). I had a 24v firestorm drill/ jig saw/ reciprocating saw combo i had rescued from someones curbside trash (YaY free!!) 2) suitable voltage converter w/ power cord (IE laptop charger or such), works best if it also is small enough to fit inside the old battery pack (this one was in with a bunch of electronics i rescued from a dumpster (YaY free again!! Sensing a theme yet?) You could build your own if you have that skill, or a wall wart will work fine too, i didn't have a wall wart capable of the 24v needed for these tools. 3) 22-24 AWG wire 4) soldering iron w/solder 5) shrink tubes, sandpaper or small files, pliers, screwdrivers, a dremel is very handy, hot glue gun and glue (or if you're like me and don't have one.improvise) 6) and MOST IMPORTANT.a little common sense.

I really like the work to go smooth so i prefer to lay out everything orderly, strip wire ends, prep surfaces for solder, etc. This is also the perfect opportunity to determine how to fit the converter into the original battery pack box (this is why i opened up the battery 1st then did lay out), how much wire will be needed and placement of the through hole for power cord. I find it also helps in ensuring i have all the tools/ supplies i need.

More than once i've laid out everything only to find i was missing that one crucial tool to complete the task at hand better now than halfway through the project. 1st you should already identified + and - inputs on battery pack and outputs on converter. I choose to solder the leads from the battery pack 1st, whether thats the best approach or not is a matter of opinion i think. Though i will say that it's best to remove (one at a time) the metal connection points from the pack before soldering as that will keep you from melting the plastic housing and mounting spots rending that pack case unusable as the contact points will not line up correctly. Next up is soldering the + and - wires to the converter.

It is the most effective tool you can get to go faster on a bike, “as Joe Friel puts it.

Mine worked out perfect as it was surface mounted rather than trying to solder wires together or fit into some tight space on the board. Last thing to do is test it out. So, plug in the pack to the tool then plug into an outlet and voila! We have a working tool again.no more dead batteries either.

Now i have a circular saw, jig saw, sawzall, and drill all capable of both battery and wall outlet power, one mod, 4 tools. Flash player for mac os x el capitan. Final note; while it is possible and maybe even perfectly safe, i still do NOT recommend plugging into wall outlet before connecting the battery pack case to the drill, saw, or whatever tool chosen.

2 seconds of safety VS possible electric shock or death.your choice! Either way i am not liable or responsible for any damage, injury, death, fried electronics, or burned down houses.

I have to say for those a little bit electronic component wavy is way better to build your own power supply for a toollike this. Unlike the tools sold as AC wall powered which actually run fine with 48 v of DC power from car batteries, the tools Sold as D.C. Will not happily accept AC power because they are in fact DC motors, so you can't just plu g them in the wal and have them work. Here are the stages of power supply convertor you must make for this to work right.
