Wow, I have never seen such a super quality film here and it seems to be 4 K quality and the revision of the old worn batteries is TOP and even the manufacturer could not do it better. I would certainly entrust my device to him for the repair and you will not find many such perfectionist repairers.

Absolutely superb battery conversion job👌
I have gone a different way to convert several of my old 18 volt Dewalt NI-CAD/NI-MH power tools to Lithium Ion.
I use the original NI-CAD battery top cover and battery connector and attach a slimline Lithium Ion adapter shoe directly to the original NI-CAD top plate.

This assembly of old top plate and Lithium adapter shoe is then fixed into the power tool battery port with 4 small self tapping screws and then a standard Dewalt 18 volt Lithium Ion battery can be fitted to all the modified power tools.
So far I have successfully converted an 18 volt cordless vacuum cleaner, a 165mm trim saw, a compact angle drive drill and a SDS masonry drill....all work very good on the Lithium Ion packs.

This has to be one of coolest battery conversion videos ever! Super clean. Nice job! Liked and subscribed!

Top class video with very clear instructions. My tip for sourcing Lithium ion cells is to check out your recycling centre where these 18560 cells can be found in every tool battery also in hoovers and anything else using lithium batteries such as hoovers etc. An almost limitless supply of free good batteries.

Very nice, well thought out conversion done to a high standard. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

Very cool way to recycle a power tool that still had some life left in it! And it was way more cost efficient to make those modifications then buying a new drill set!
Where did you get the batteries from, that price seems really good to me.

I purchased a brand new Black and Decker 20v lithium impact drill/driver for $49.95. I know it's difficult tossing perfectly good tools with bad batteries, but still. I have other drills, but that's the only one I use now. It's powerful and changing bits is super easy. The money and time you spend to get the batteries and other parts and then assemble, it's cheaper to get something new and modern.

Probably the best conversion O have ever seen with great detail !!

[viswanathanramakrishnan]

This is what I was expecting from conversion of the old ni-cd batteries to lithium-ion battery pack and the chargers requirements and how to fabricate such a charger. Thanks a lot.

Awesome instructional video! Concise, simple, and no drawn out "look how smart I am" speeches! Bravo!! I am 100% going to do this!!

[divyajnana]

Nice touch updating the charger too. A great updated drill at a great price, nice job.

[ksfurlover]

Thank you for the instructions on the conversion process. Hardest part was following the battery wiring - parallel / series. But, I have my Ryobi 12v drill converted :)

As much as i like fixing items instead of throwing them away and spending more money on replacements. Because would doesnt like to save some money. But in this case, i ended up just buying two battery packs for my cordless drill for thirty bucks. None the less, great video.

[martinmuldoon]

That was purely a fascinating upgrade to lithium Ion. Your the best.

Excelente, tenía algunas dudas en renovar mi taladro 18v, seguí las instrucciones ocupe bms 5s y quedó perfecto 👌

[georgivoyvodov]

I upgraded my old cordless drill with 6S Li-po Graphene battery and brushless motor . the 18V Ni-Cd battery was dead long time ago and the brushed motor was gone. Now I have brand new top notch drill with invested 100 bucks and few hours work.

Very neat and tidy video. Great content as well; especially enjoyed the effort you went to with upgrading the original charger.
