Basics

  • This page goes over the process of modifying (Usually existing Cordless devices that use a non-removable battery) devices to utilize an external, replaceable, Cordless Tool Battery Pack

Mounting

Electrical Conversions

  • Ryobi offers an 18v, and 40v Battery Pack
  • Milwakee Tools offers 12v, 18, and some higher power "fuel" batter (probably akin to the Ryobi 40v)
  • Determine what the device uses, do your Ohm's Law / Voltage Divider calculations, and you are good to go
