I’m not sold on this form factor as an actual tool though.Ī while back I watched a teardown video of Ryobi’s version of this. Nice hack if it’s a hack for the purpose of being a hack. I found what claims to couple of Dewalt-style battery cutoff circuit chips on Ebay, and I hope to try integrating one into the ONE adapter. I also have a Ryobi hand vacuum and a cheap Dewalt-to-ONE adapter. On the other hand, in a pinch it lets me suck all the available juice out of the battery, which can be a useful trade off. Using it involved making sure to keep checking the battery voltage monitor and swapping out after hitting the single-LED status. It will drain the battery to the point that it will not recharge without being boosted to get the cell voltages up to the minimum level acceptable to the charger. I bought one of those cheap clip-on inverters that takes the Dewalt batteries. After reading about the “activation” process that was supposed to be in some of the Ryobi tools, I dropped them from consideration which was probably a mistake. I’m not saying Ryobi tools aren’t up to constant use (I really have no idea about the ruggedness of the Dewalt tools either). If I had it to do again, I might have gone with cheaper tools (probably Ryobi) since I’m not a professional… I’ve really over-spent on tools/batteries that I just use occasionally. I’d avoided any significant battery-based tooling for years knowing that once I got into a battery system I’d be committed. I recently ended up getting into the Dewalt 20V ecosystem. All you need is for one cell to drop out of spec and the charger will refuse to charge. A combination of the worst possible conditions ofr battery life: more frequent recharging of battery packs that aren’t sufficiently discharged. Who wants to have a tool die in use… go ahead and swap batteries early and drop it on the charger. I suspect that shorter battery life may have more to do with frequent “topping off” of batteries before they are more fully discharged. I see the logic of the approach, and it makes sense in a way, but it makes the use of Dewalt batteries with 3rd party tools kind of risky. I believe that there is cutoff circuitry, its just in the tool instead of the battery and the cell balancing circuitry is in the charger (at least as far as the latest “20V” batteries and the brushless tool models are concerned). Posted in Misc Hacks Tagged dewalt, drill batteries, solder, soldering iron Post navigation If you’ve been whipping up your own gear to solder on the go, don’t hesitate to drop us a line! Some are even completely handheld, with no external wires or power supplies to speak of. The high power density of lithium rechargeable batteries has led to a proliferation of portable soldering irons in recent years. The design also features a lithium-ion battery protection circuit of ’s own design, to make up for the fact that DeWalt don’t integrate them into their battery packs. This allows him to use the rig with a wide variety of common soldering iron handpieces, like his favored Hakko FX-951. Armed with this tool, included it as part of a simple compact portable soldering iron design that relies on the off-the-shelf T12-952 controller board. It’s a little piece of plastic with spade terminals inserted to act as the contacts. The build relies on a simple 3D-printed adapter to suck power from a DeWalt drill battery. Thus, he set about to build such a rig himself. noticed that Ryobi was using them to power soldering irons, but no such tool existed in the DeWalt range. Lightweight design provides the user with upgraded 4Ah Power without increasing the size or weight over the 18V 3Ah battery pack.Power tool batteries are a convenient portable power supply for all manner of different things.LED State of Charge Indicator helps manage pack charging.DEWALT XR 4Ah Li-Ion Battery Technology offers extended runtime and optimised power to complete applications quickly.State of Charge Indicator Lightweight No Memory Effect XR Lithium-ion is the premium DEWALT cordless platform and this product is sold as a single unit. Due to the no memory effect these batteries have virtually no self-discharge, giving them maximum productivity as well as less down time. These batteries have a 33% longer runtime than a 3Ah battery and provide a state of charge indicator on all 18V tools so the user can work more efficiently. They are made for high load repetitive applications and demanding environments. The DEWALT 18V 4Ah XR Li-Ion Battery Pack is ideal for professional use and for DIY users as these batteries provide extreme runtime and maximum efficiency.
