Makita 10.8v (BL1013) Battery Connector

thingiverse

This is a battery holder (including clip) for Makita BL1013 10.8v batteries - the kind found in a whole range of Makita hand-held products. Just print, get 2 thin spade connectors (or sheets of metal), glue them in the holes (align them with a battery clipped in), and you can use your Makita drill batteries for whatever you want. Why do you want this? 10.8v batteries will run most 12v things pretty well. I put a power jack on to the end of mine and use it for: 12v air compressors Mains inverter 12v dremel-style drills 12v electric soldering iron Light bulbs (you can get 900 lumen 12v MR16 LED bulbs, which make insanely bright torches) PC fans (to blow air away from work, or to start barbecues) Water pumps (car windscreen washer pumps) In the pictures I've replaced the dead 9.6v NiCd battery in an old drill of mine with the battery connector, and I can now run run it off Makita Lithium batteries. Print Settings Printer: Sumpod Rafts: No Supports: No Infill: 20% Notes: Prints straight upwards, without support on a normal 3D printer. My printer isn't great so you may find the battery is a bit of a sloppy fit if done on a good printer.
