Lidl (Parkside Performance) to Aldi (Ferrex) 20V Battery Adapter

thingiverse

Hi there! I created this adapter to use my existing cheap Parkside Performance batteries from Lidl with the cheap Ferrex tools which you can buy without battery. You need 3 male contacts and 3 female contacts (positive, negative and temperature pins). For the female contacts, I used VAG part number 000 979 228 E which is a replacement wire that comes with 2 female "double-spring-contacts". I built the female contact for the temp pin out of 2 dupont male contacts because the VAG part is a little expensive (still waiting for the Aliexpress shipment.. For male I used 3 cable-shoes with screw-hole, because I had them lying around. Here are the Aliexpress parts that I ordered. Male: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32996715636.html Female: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32873079089.html For me, the adapter sits tight enough to use it without securance on the Ferrex-side. But in case you need it, there is a 2mm wide, 13mm long spacing to stick something through.
