Parkside to Bosch adapter - Battery adapter

thingiverse

Hi! This is my first upload to thingyverse, and I hope it is helpfull. I wanted to replace the battery on my old Bosch cordless drill. The original battery was Ni-cd and to find an original or even a compatible one meant I had to pay a lot of money and still buy old technology. So I decided to use a Parkside Li-On 20 volt battery which I could buy for 25 euro with its charger in Germany, or 49 euro for the whole drill with battery and charger here in Greece. I made a 3d printed piece that the Parkside battery can slide in and out and glued the piece on the original Bosch battery, soldered the connectors and worked like a charm. You can my design for any similar cordless modification if you want to use parkside battery with any old drill. I used PETG for mine but I have also printed in PLA and ABS. ABS has to be resized for shrinking Hope you find it help full!
