A few years ago I 3d printed a Milwaukee to Dewalt battery adapter and resurrected an old weedwhacker. Most of the performance in these tools come from the battery and that little B&D weedwhacker with a 9ah M18 battery is an absolute champion, and super light weight.

@lizcademy4809 2 года назад

This is why I spent hours deciding on which cordless tool family to buy into. In the end, I went with Ryobi. I'm a little old lady, I do use tools and build things but not often. I wanted tools that are light weight with small handles ... I know they won't last as long or be as powerful as the big boy tools, but that's fine by me. Ryobi makes so many tools on the same battery platform that I don't think I'll ever need a cordless tool outside the family. I'd rather not mess with commodity battery adapters or other kludges. Break over, time to drill more holes for my kitchen undercabinet lights. :-)

The continuous draining of the battery is a real thing, and not just a problem with knock off adapters from amazon. Dewalt themselves makes an adapter for their current sliding style 20V batteries to the old post insert style 18V battery tools. I have one for my recip saw which I've had for 15 years and no signs of it dying soon, but those batteries died years ago. Anyway, a couple times I have forgotten to disconnect the battery and came to realize the battery had been drained, yet it was near full when I was using it.

TTI also offers a cordless glue gun under the Walmart/Hart brand and Harbor freight offers one I believe under the Bauer brand. Although out of those brands I would choose the Ryobi and in fact I have the dual temp full size and the mini glue gun by Ryobi. They both seem to work well so far although I think I use the mini the most. They are very handy for repairs, small mock ups, electronic projects and numerous other projects.

@saltyroe3179 Месяц назад

I have a Dewalt battery fleet and wanted a unique Ryobi tool. I bought a Dewalt adapter that allows use of new style Dewalt batteries on old old style tools. I took the top part of the adapter off and replaced it with the equivalent part from a dead Ryobi battery I had from over 20 years ago. This created my Frankenstein adapter. It works great. It also made it possible for me to use the old Ryobi tools, although they run faster.

The third pin on most tools is just for the thermistor to sense the battery temperature A 10k resistor and knowledge of which port to bridge will get most tools to activate. For example, black&decker's third pin is a 10K NTC. It's also why tools usually pretend to be 'overheated' when running on the wrong battery

@mkmwila 2 года назад

A battery already has a BMS or Battery management System. So The tool cannot run it down completely Or make it overheat unless the battery itself allows it( in this case , the BMS is faulty) So with this said, the adaptor is just a extension of the terminals to the tool and d converter for the USB outlet. I would use it with no fear on an expensive tool also.

@ZacBuilds 2 года назад

From what I've read online that isn't always the case. Sometimes the BMS is located in the tool and not the battery. I could be wrong on that front, but I'm very reluctant to run any experiments on my batteries.

@mkmwila 2 года назад

@@ZacBuilds . You may be right that some battery pack do not have a BMS. Those would be very bad quality and should not be used on power tools as these require a high current delivery. Those batteries would be depleted beyond recovery anyway by anything plugged directly into them include some power tools unless the the manufacturer went an extra mile to include BMS in the tool itself. That would not be the fault of the adaptor . In addition, they might overheat and become an hazard for you tool and yourself ( the user).

@bubbalo3388 Год назад

For me the 20 volt battery adapter from 18 volt to 20 volt was worth it because it would of cost me a whole lot more to replace all the tools I already have from 18v to 20v. Which would leave me extra money to add on new 20v tools if I needed and still everything would work off of the same battery format. I would definitely stick with the manufacturer original adapter rather than some second party one because like you mentioned there are safety features involved.

@davidcheek8892 7 месяцев назад

18v and 20v, as long as they are both lithium, are the same, 5s (5 cells in Series). In most countries, it's regulated, because 18v is closer to real operating power than 20v, and so 20v is deceptive advertising. But if you're talking about an adapter for a lithium to an older "nicad" or "nimh" tool, or vice versa, be careful. Lithiums need lvc protection (low voltage cutoff) to protect battery damage. Ryobi puts that circuit in the lithium battery itself, everyone else puts it in the tool. That apso means you shouldn't adapt non-ryobi batteries to a ryobi tool. If you do use a lithium without LVC, you should immediately stop using the battery at first sign if power loss/voltage sag.

As someone who generally buys the cheap tools, I really wish I'd spent a bit more and bought in to the Ryobi battery ecosystem, instead of the crappy blue line from Canadian Tire. There are just _so_ many more tools that all use the same batteries (see: Aging Wheels), but that just wasn't a consideration I was making at the time, when all I wanted was "cordless drill, cordless impact, done."

@ZacBuilds 2 года назад

Yes unfortunately the cordless drill and impact driver combo is the gateway drug that many companies use to hook people onto a battery platform. It's important to think about the full eco-system when youre deciding, because batteries are expensive. If you can get 3 or 4 batteries from 1 brand you can start just buying "bare tools" which will save you a lot of money.

Long term Ryobi is a poor decision

@davidjames4915 Год назад

@@johnussss That makes literally no sense given that Ryobi is pretty much the only cordless tool maker to have retained near-complete backwards and forwards compatibility between Ni-Cad and Li-Ion: you can still use your old 18V Ryobi tools from the Ni-Cad era with new Li-Ion batteries while their new tools will still run on any working Ni-Cad batteries you happen to still have. So if someone had made a decision to go with Ryobi in the 2000s or early 2010s, their tools from then would still form a viable system today, whereas if you bought Dewalt or someone else, you now have near-orphaned tools (ya, Dewalt has an adaptor that costs nearly as much as a battery).

@davidjames4915 Год назад

Canadian Tire's shenanigans with its battery tools has long been quite disappointing, tbh. They likely had enough seller clout that they could have forced a smaller tool maker like Black & Decker to just let CT reuse their battery mounts (what choice would B&D have when CT is likely where most B&D tools are sold in Canada?), but instead they went off and invented their own battery mount. And then they made a second tier of them for their Maximum line. Now, if that weren't enough, they came up with this 'Pwr Pod' system in which CT uses the same batteries (but another mount) for all of its various sub-brands, except of course Maximum. On top of all this, no one seems to sell battery adaptors for Canadian Tire's various mounts.

From the beginning, different tools shouldn’t be using different batteries types anyway. It is a greedy practice for the tool producers to force their customers to buy the “matching” battery and charger for that particular tool brand. How about Toyota cars only run on Toyota gas and ford car only on ford gas? Your video is actually encouraging them to make it impossible to even use an adapter between tool batteries or find ways to make it impossible.

As a manufacturer you cannot guarantee any sort of performance or reliability if you don’t know what the battery is going to be. A lot of tools that use these batteries need very high discharge rates, putting in a crappy battery could damage the battery in a way that could make the battery unsafe or damage the tool. Add on top of that tools are often not treated gently, I’m sure the major brands do extensive testing to make sure your battery doesn’t explode when you drop your drill off a ladder.

Here's a simple truth about the Ryobi battery ecosystem. Although the Ryobi 18V batteries have 3 contact points (5 for the HP batteries), unless the tool you're using the adapter in also has more than just 2 contacts, there cannot be any communication between the tool and the battery because the two contacts are simply positive and negative. For those tools that have just 2 contacts (and despite having a bunch of Ryobi tools all of mine have just 2), there shouldn't be an issue using an adapter. Anyone that has taken these expensive batteries apart knows that the electronics that keep them from overheating or discharging too much is built into the battery. So if your Ryobi device has just 2 battery contacts, you should be good to go.

The adapter has next to nothing inside of it. If the USB port wasn't on there, it would be a hunk of plastic with two wires. The usb port adds a voltage regulator that just drops 18-20v to 5v, all power tool batteries are very simple. All the voltage protection is inside the battery and all the tool is looking for is a power source. You can just connect any 20-18v power source into any 20-18v tool and it would have no idea. I can't figure out where you heard about a DRM check, the only DRM is the physical connector being used. Ryobi's 18v is just them doing the math differently. If you take all 5 18650 battery cells at 3.7v and add them together, you get 18.5v. I don't know where the other companies get 20v but if you look in the battery it's 5 18650s wired in series. Either way the voltage difference between 20v and 18v is so slight, that tool would already be expecting a voltage difference like that. A single 18650 cell at empty should be about 2.8v and at full it's supposed to be 4.2v. Voltage regulators are supposed to clean that up so the tool doesn't have to worry about the difference.

void the warranty are kidding man thats to funny its all the same voltages and battery type it fails sent it in with out telling them as made no difference .i do say he was fishing for something to say to funny.Just never leave it plugged in to tools that do not tune off with the adapter on as it will run battery as he says but drills and such should be fine and watch voltage on batter till you make sure it does not run its battery flat and kills the cells BMS in batter should turn it off but i do not know as his system is different i use another brand. pardon brad grammur
