Panasonic EY powertool battery adapter

thingiverse

I've seen loads of battery adapters for other brand power-tools but hadn't seen Panasonic adapters. So I've created this little piece of plastic myself. Now I can use my Panasonic battery packs (14.4V system) for other applications as well! I think it will fit the 18V packs as well but you'll have to try for yourself. I've used Faston cable-shoe tabs (PCB mounts) for the battery terminals, soldered on a little PCB together with the wires. The 90 degree terminals would be best. https://www.mouser.com/c/connectors/terminals/?q=FASTON%206.3mm There's a little plate covering a cavity for the cable entry and the little PCB. Cable hole is 6mm. Printed on slow speed. I've had some warping on multiple previous attempts. Think it has to do with the large flat surface. I've reduced the print speed and top layer thickness. The latest version came out fine. P.s. make sure you use the right protection for the battery. Use a fuse and under voltage protection circuit. Don't completely drain your li-ion batteries.
