Top pic is Ryobi battery with socket and minting plate on it, next 2 are the pieces spread out
Bore a hole in a gutted tool battery.Slip this socket in, attach the contacts, screw and glue the plate to the bottom of the gutted battery, and now Ryobi lithium ion are plug and play in your tool.The Ryobi are backwards compatible with the Ryobi nicad line so I feel 100 percent safe running their battery on everything.
I contacted a company called rex roi 3d LLC they printed this for me, I told them they are beautiful how much to make more?.13.99 each and they will provide the connectors.
FWIW home depot had, maybe still has a deal going on 2 ryobi batteries 1 charger and a tool of your choice for less than 100 bucks, that's why I did it.I needed Dewalt batteries and for less money I got 2 batteries etc. By dumb luck I found out the Ryobis also snap right into some junk Chinese 18v stuff I had laying around.
I'm doing this to my rigid,porter cable etc. 1 set of cheap batteries for everything
