Description: MORE PROJECT AND TIPS: makebuildmodify.com HOW TO make an 18v NiCad to 18 volt lithium ion battery adapter build for Milwaukee cordless tools. I put this together to reclaim the use of my older (but still useful) Milwaukee cordless tools. It was an easy build and only took about two hours for the first attempt. I hope this build tutorial helps you get extra use out of tools too. I have no idea if this will harm the older tools or if it will cause damage to the new batteries or to my body. So if you try this you and you alone are making the choice to risk your tools and your health. Please be safe. ---WARNING--- I don't let my lithium ion batteries go below one bar while using old tools. This is because the new tools will shut off before the battery is completely depleted. The old tools will run the battery all the way down. One of the guys on my jobsite used my old tool/new battery setup and completely depleted the battery and now it won't charge. :( Materials and tools (Affiliate links) ▶ Milwaukee usb power adapter amzn.to/2vV7Lex ▶ Milwaukee 5.0 Ah Extended Capacity Battery amzn.to/2xGNGKW ▶ Milwaukee 2897-22 M18 Fuel 2-tool Combo Kit amzn.to/2cOGXaH ▶ High-Speed Steel Drill Bits amzn.to/2c9pX0k ▶ 6-in-1 Torx Screwdriver Set amzn.to/2eyPkK2 ▶ Sharpie Marker amzn.to/2edfD5H ▶ Stainless steel Ruler amzn.to/2db8brB ▶ Diagonal-Cutters amzn.to/2l7xonn ▶ 60/40 Rosin-Core Solder amzn.to/2krxYx4 ▶ Hobby Soldering Kit amzn.to/2jJesz6 DEWALT ADAPTER ------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have an old DeWalt drill set you're in luck!
