I've been thinking about using a Ryobi supercharger, gutting it, and wiring all the batts in parallel. By my estimate, that should be enough for a 10k# winch. It's always nice seeing proof of concept. Thanks for posting this.
No I didn't, 18 volt battery under load is pulled down to about the same voltage as a vehicle's 12 volt system is when the engine is running at around 14.5 volts.
@@elliottsconstruction2639 Yes, you absolutely should use either a speed controller or a buck converter to drop the voltage down around 12V. Using either one of these puts practically zero stress on the battery. All the unplugging resetting bullshit he's doing, you don't have to worry about any of that. I've got an M18 set up, 6000lb winch, using a snatch block and a 5.0ah battery and I haven't come across anything this thing won't pull out. In the most extreme cases I lose two battery bars, zero overheating or overloading. It's less than $20 and your battery and winch will thank you.
@@tintshady2049 what guage wire is on the adapter? Thinking about doing this with a winch for my fish house. Dual 3500lb one on each side.. (would run each one separately) Have makita 18v 6ah batteries.
@@TreeGenie that's exactly how they work, you have no idea what you're talking about...why tf would a pulley pull twice as hard?! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M2w3NZzPwOM.html
@@TreeGenie He is not saying it would use half the energy, but put half the current draw on the battery. It's all estimates, but it might prevent it from cutting out.
