Great vid, thanks How com on total tools or Sydney tools, it doesn’t mention it steps down from 18v to 12v? Just says it is compatible with m12 heated jacket?
Hi. What is the name of the socket please? I cannot find it on ebay. I think your socket have converter inside that convert from 18v to 12v. I see ebay 12v to 12v socket directly no converter. Thanks for your reply
I just Googled Milwaukee 18v 12v adapter.... from my local tool website Milwaukee does a genuine one. Part number M18USBPSHJ.... reading the description "designed for use with M12 Heated Jackets". Thats the round outlet on the side. Sure the is knock off versions on eBay etc.
Looks like only 2 pins connect. So as long pos and neg line up, and the battery voltage is 18v shouldn't be a drama. Though most brands have there own mounting system. This one is specific to Milwaukee. You can buy adaptors for most brands to most brands, or that brand may make their own type. Failing all that, if your handy with a soldiering iron, you might be able to pull apart and modify to fit. Hope this helps.
Hi Keithy007. Wondering if you tried running a camping fridge yet? Love the idea. I've ordered 2 of these and was going to make a fridge cable splitting into two connections to run both batteries together and hope that is enough amps to start the compressor.
Hey Dave, forget about that. I should get onto that. A 120A/h AGM battery will comfortably run an Engel (portable fridge) under normal contitions for 24 hours. AGM batteries are only able to be use 50% capacity compared to lithium (like the Milwaukee battery). So from that we can assume 60A/h of lithium would run a fridge for a day. So 9A/h is 15% of 60. 15% of 24 hours is 3.6 hours. So as an educated guess between 3-4 hours. If the fridge was cold with a few frozen water bottles in it this could be extended. Would be enough for a day at the beach. I should be studying- thanks for the opportunity to procrastinate.
I think the original idea of the 12v output from the 18v batteries is for the Milwaukee heated jackets. So a load such as that should be fine. However I wouldn't jump start you car with it.
