DIY a high-energy Makita 18V battery for heavy-duty power tools.
It's hard to understand why Makita isn't making such capacity batteries in their lineup when they are making high-power demanding cordless tools. All other well-known cordless power tools manufacturers are doing this for years already, like Dewal, Milwaukee, Ryobi, Bosch, and so on.
So in this video is my 18V 9Ah battery version for Makita cordless tools.

I've just replaced in an cheap battery tool (HS) the cell with some with more Ah capacity, and it works well. Thank you for letting me know that diy battery kit exists

can you make a bigger pack video for Makita BL1013 batteries?

@julianceballos8795 Год назад

I also agree. I think Makita should make batteries that are like 9ah since they would last a long time and run their cells cooler. I think I will try and take on a project like this with the packs that I currently have when they go bad. Would you consider making a video on 21700 batteries in the future? Thank you for all the videos that you have made.

@hullinstruments Год назад

Although battery technology is incredible and has really advanced a lot in the last few decades... It isn't magic. It kind of has to obey the laws of physics... I'm not intimately familiar with their battery designs... But they may have legitimate reasons behind their design and choices of the individual cells. Capacity is important.... Arguably even more important are the discharge characteristics. Especially in such a powerful tool. It's very possible that sells they have chosen...Might not have the biggest capacity.... But were needed because of their high discharge rate and characteristics under stress And the cells with the biggest capacity wouldn't be capable of discharging as quickly or enduring the same amount of output power. A balance has to be struck. Because each end user is different and will have different patterns and habits in how they use the tools. For somebody drilling holes or tightening fasteners every few minutes... High discharge currents are more important. However, For someone only using it a few times a day... I could understand why high-capacity would be more valued. But they had to strike a balance.

@neodymelanthanide2101 8 месяцев назад

I've searched what is available on the market and I confirm last answer. Generally speaking, the more capacity 18650 cells have, the less max current they get. Makita cells are samsung INR18650 25R (or 20R for lower capacity batteries). They provide 2.5Ah capacity and 22A max continuous current output (even more in spike). I assume you can't get lower max current if you want your tools to work properly. The biggest capacity available within 18650 shape with at least 22A max current is 3.12Ah. So you won't beat by much the oem ones (specialy considering the cost). The pros with 4s3p rather than 4s2p is that battery's current is 3 times the current of 1 cell (rather than twice). So you'll be able to buy cells with lower max current specs but with higher capacity (or just lower price). The cons is that it's big, heavy, and might be too much for some people. Also a fun fact is that it costs ~40€ for 4Ah and if you build it yourself it will cost the same price (without all the brand's support and guaranty). So there is noway you'll find better price/quality. Actually I've bought a chinese one labelled as 6Ah, and I've opened it... It was marked as 2Ah samsung cells. So it was actually the same as makita's 4Ah batteries but with a chinese label and... more expensive

@zoltanberkes8559 Год назад

I think they don't make them because if you want a high power output tool, you can by an LXT 18V x2 (=36V), or an XGT 40V Max tool.

@gilsonfelix3415 5 месяцев назад

Got curious, description says 18V, but forwarding the video you say 21V, can I use it in 18V impact wrench? Sorry if the question is stupid, but I know nothing about electronics and electrical.

@wally7856 5 месяцев назад

The voltage varies with charge on lithium batteries. These 5 cells in series packs are ~ 20 volts fully charged, 18 volts average voltage throughout their capacity, and ~ 16 volts fully discharged. Give or take a bit so that's where he got 21v from - brand new cells so he got a 1v bump for now. All lithium cells follow this with individual cells 4 v charged, 3.6 nominal, 3.2 v discharged. So when DeWalt says their packs are 20v max compared to other brands saying 18v (nominal) they are all the same packs. DeWalt just tries to fool the consumer by measuring their packs voltage right off the charger where everybody else measures the average voltage over the whole cycle. There is no difference. So yes you can use this on a 18v tool as the factory batteries follow the same voltage curve as these.

@riskinhos Год назад

makita also does a 18V LXT Lithium‑Ion Compact 2.0Ah Battery which takes 5 18650 cells which weights just 458grams. makita uses samsung INR 18650 2500mah batteries. so if you put 3500mah 18650 inside you can get 40% more battery time. and that's actually the power that double the size and weight batteries have. it's insane.

@pete_lind Год назад

Backpack battery holder PDC01 (i paid a bit over €400) and you have 24 Ah (room for 4 x 6 Ah in the device , there is space to carry extra batteries on the harness) and PDC1200 has 33,5 Ah , its pricy , round €1200 and takes long time to charge . Metabo did put out statement why they only have 2 rows of cell in their batteries ... middle row is only heating up the other cells ... Metabo has 10 Ah battery , with only 2 rows of cells ... if there just would be an adaptor to get Metabo batteries to Makita .

There are also a lot of restrictions on power density limits when transporting or shipping batteries. I know of multiple instances where companies had to choose a lower capacity or certain characteristics... So that they could ship pallets of batteries easier without going over the limits imposed by the shipping companies. Lithium ion batteries have been suspected for multiple airplane fires mid-flight... Uspostal and many other companies have hard limits on what is allowed.

@deejayitalo Год назад

Unfortunately this build will not last very long. Batteries have to be top balanced and protected by a BMS that controls the voltage of each series cell. And a passive balancing would be good. This pcb don't protect each cell and does not balance. I did this some years ago not knowing how to really work with li ion and unfortunately i destroyed about 11 Sony vtc6 after about 20 cycles.

Makita should also make 21700 battery packs. I got a couple of kits for them off Aliexpress. If I populated it with Molicel P45B cells, then I'll have a 9Ah 90 amp pack with just 10 cells.
