@@matthewartherton970 - Matthew, see the AliExpress item numbers in the section just below the video. Click on "more" and you will see them. I can not put live links in yet but I will add those later. Instead I have put the AliExpress item numbers which you can just copy and paste into the AliExpress search box and click on search. You will then see the item. Let me know if I can be of any further help and I hope your upgrade goes well.
Thanks Richard much appreciated. I’m up for giving this ago but may contact you for more advice at some point, maybe some diagrams to make sure I’m doing this correctly, I have the 18v version, well I have four so if you need 1 or 2 just let me know.
@@matthewartherton970 Matthew, let me know when you are ready to do your upgrade and I will do a second video with more detail and with some diagrams so you know how to connect everything. That's very kind of you to offer me a battery and perhaps we will do a battery giveaway together at a later date to one of my subscribers.
This is almost exactly what I'm looking for! I just rescued a bunch of old Ryobi tools that were going to be thrown out as there are no batteries and people couldn't find them. I'm no electrician though. Would you be willing to make some of these up and sell them?
@@cameronspringett8268 Yes, I know which batteries you have. These Ryobi slide-on batteries are not made anymore which is why I had to upgrade my batteries. So your batteries are essentially the same as the ones I am showing in the video except yours are Ryobi 18v slide on batteries (5 lithium cells ide) and not Ryobi 14.4v (4 lithium cells inside). That means you would just require one more cell inside your batteries and a small adjustment on the new circuit inside your charger which is easy to do. I will make a note of it now and perhaps you can contact me in a few months to see if I have time to do this upgrade for you.
@@cameronspringett8268 I see. So you would need to find a battery and charger first. The 14.4v slide-on batteries are easier to find and cheaper and although I am not certain I think there is a chance the 14.4v slide-on battery will fit your 18v Ryobi tools ( but please check this first). There is enough space inside the 14.4v battery to take the extra cell so it can be upgraded to 18v. There are some 14.4v batteries on ebay and Facebook Marketplace now if you search. See ebay listing number 256443610925 for the 18v battery See ebay listing number 276374921884 for the 14.4v battery See ebay listing number 225994741959 for the charger
