Yep, someone should design a shell that you could 3d print and drop in 18650s to run power tools for Dewalt/Makita/etc. Connecting the batteries is kind of annoying but presumably there's some standard spring clips off the shelf that might work.
- turtlebits 2y agoFWIW, power tools batterie are generally high amp rated and require a BMS that can support it. Not that you can't do it, but won't work with off the shelf 18650s.
- Zak 2y agoI looked up teardowns of Dewalt, Milwaukee, and Makita battery packs and saw LG HB4, Samsung 30Q, and LG HD2 cells, respectively. Those are all off the shelf cells.
