Stanley Fatmax 18v Battery Adapter

pinshape

This adapter can be hard wired onto an old 18V power tool so you can use your Stanley Fatmax 18v Batteries, You need to make two Contacts to solder the wires on, I made them out of a piece of 15MM copper pipe, snipped down the length and opened it out then hammered it flat , then cut two lengths 10MM WIDE and 25MM long touch them up with a file then solder the cables on , slot them in the adapter and a dab of hot glue at the back to hold them. On my old Dewalt NiCad I hot glued the whole adapter in place of the old battery with 4 dabs on each corner.   I have included a screenshot of Cura so you can see the settings I used.
