Trying to make an interface for a Ryobi battery, without sacrificing a tool as a donor anyway, would be maddeningly difficult with traditional at-home manufacturing methods. There’s also dual 2.4 USB “A” ports and a Quick Charge 3.0 compatible USB-C port for charging your mobile gadgets.Īs an aside, this project is an excellent example of how powerful 3D printing can be when building your own hardware. From there he’s got a standard “cigarette lighter” automotive power connector which offers compatibility with a wide range of mobile devices such as small inverters or mobile radios. Ryobi standardized on an 18 V battery a while back, so is using a 10 A DC-DC buck converter to step that down to a more generally useful 12 V. With support for multiple charging standards and even an integrated work light, this device would be perfect to have around for power outages or to take with you on a camping trip.
#RYOBI CORDLESS DRILL BATTERY NOT CHARGING PORTABLE#
Looking to find alternative uses for his growing collection of Ryobi batteries, has come up with a portable power station design that lets him put all that stored energy to use.


But if you’re just doing the occasional DIY project, those batteries are probably going to sit unused more often than not. If you’re a professional contractor, having a fleet of batteries you can swap out during the day’s work is a necessity.

Anyone with a few cordless tools has probably amassed quite a collection of batteries for them.
