    Mount a boost converter in the battery case and boost it to higher voltage,you have plenty of overhead on ampage, nice build.

    So what prevents the wire, psu or tool from doing a smoke show when you stall the tool motor during use, creating an amp spike of 30-50+ amps DC With no bleed path???? Wouldn't you need some sort of diode to a capacitor tree to handle the spike and provide a least resistive path to discharge than the resistance of the in line tool? Each tool would have a different resistive value and amp spike value in the event of a motor stall......so how could you build something like that?
    Also how could you build a Power Supply unit that would be flexible..... to handle a table saw or miter saw but also be able to handle an LED light, grinder, drill, impact etc. A "one and done" battery replacement basically. I'm not that smart but the way I understand it, is that it basically cannot be done due to mixing of the AC and DC beasts and providing proper operating parameters that I mentioned above. Would be nice if I was wrong though! 🙃

    • @CheapskateProjects

      There is a fuse to protect the psu for short circuits and other high current situations. Although the psu itself also has protection circuit for low voltage (too high current).
      There is a possibility for spike from motor when the motor stops. Although I think most of the drills have internal bypass diode to protect their internal circuits. If not, that can easily be added inside the drill.
      There is probably not any simple solution for all cases. Atx psu works to provide stabile dc source for most small current devices but they don't do well with high current devices like saws that have really high start current.

    To protect the ATX again short circuit. It will be better to connect the Green wire (power on) to Relay contact with black wire. And to energize the relay with the 12 v or 5 v accorditly.

    I have one of these from an old HP computer. I was hoping to power an old Ryobi 14.4 circular saw to make a table saw. The power unit produces 16A and says 12V @ max 210W. I'm no electrical engineer but I have a sense what that means. Problem is, the ATX will power a Ryobi drill of that same set but it overloads on the saw. Is there a fix?

    • @CheapskateProjects
      @CheapskateProjects  4 года назад +1

      The starting current is probably too much for the psu. I don't think there is easy or cheap solution. But you could try to make capacitor bank to provide the starting current. Maybe the psu is enough when the saw is already running.

  • @philipatha
    @philipatha 5 лет назад +4

    This isn't really done right. You have a 14.4v drill with a 14.4v battery but you've wired it to a 12v power supply, so voltage loss there which can damage the drill longterm. Also are you certain the PSU is outputting sufficient amperage? Concept is solid but methinks you need to check your math.

    • @CheapskateProjects
      @CheapskateProjects  5 лет назад +6

      Most of your concerns have already been addressed in the description. The amperage of the PSU is enough and as a precaution, there is a fuse which will cut the power if the drill would ever draw more than the PSU can handle. The low voltage is pretty much the same as what the battery will provide when it's starting to get empty. So, well within limits in which the drill is meant to be operated. It will cause the speed to be lower than the max speed but I don't mind that. Anyhow, without this conversion, the drill would have been left unused or been thrown away.

    • @CheapskateProjects
      @CheapskateProjects  3 года назад +1

      Maybe it's overloading the psu. Make sure that your psu is capable of delivering enough current at 12v (check the amp rating for 12v).

    • @CheapskateProjects
      @CheapskateProjects  3 года назад

      @@bongd244 PSU will probably have some fault monitoring. So if the current is too high and it causes the voltage to dip, it will cut the power at some point. 7.5A doesn't sound high so it might be just that you exceed that rating. Try to put 7A fuse on the voltage line. If that fuse breaks then the rating of the psu is not enough. Of course you could also measure the drill current with a shunt or some other current measuring device but the fuse is cheap and easy way to see if some current is exceeded.

    @anothersomebody8195 5 лет назад

    Stupid questions incoming... why did you solder the clip at 4:45? Was that to engage the PSU to convert from 230 to 12v?
    Why did the PSU have one long connector (30 pin?) but you wired the drill up for two separate (2 pin?) terminals? Also why did you need the positive to be spliced into both connectors?
    After 3:30, I I got a little lost cause I didn't see where the drill was plugged in for the test run.

    • @CheapskateProjects
      @CheapskateProjects  5 лет назад +1

      I didn't want to modify the PSU. That is why I made the clip for the larger connector (which replaces the computer power button and turns the PSU on) and connected to the standard 12V connectors. This enables me to detach the drill and use the PSU for other purposes as well. I connected to two connectors because the current is pretty high and wires on the PSU side are thin. Using two connectors will thus keep the wire resistance somewhat lower and enable the required current.

    • @CheapskateProjects
      @CheapskateProjects  3 года назад +1

      Probably not. The voltage difference is large enough that is would be really slow and weak. Like with almost empty battery.
      You could be able to modify the psu to produce higher voltage but that depends on your psu. Easier would be to build new transformer based psu.

    • @CheapskateProjects
      @CheapskateProjects  4 года назад +1

      As long as you stay within PSU specifications it's completely fine. PSUs are meant to provide specified current for long periods of time and the drill isn't probably used for long periods at a time. However, if you exceed the specified current ratings, it will probably decrease the life of that PSU.

      With battery powered devices the value they give is the nominal value for the cells. Maximun voltage for 18v battery is actually 20v when fully charged. So 19 volts is actually pretty perfect. So, if the charger has enough amps it should work.

      That is why I made the adapter. I can still use it with the one good battery, but I can also use it as a corded drill. I mainly use this as an electric screwdriver. It is located beside my workbench and the cord is long enough that I rarely have to move it. Works well enough for that purpose.

      Older drills only have simple trigger mechanism and electric motor. So the voltage doesn't have to be that precise. Of course, the speed will be reduced and the torque will be a bit less if the voltage is lower than specified by the drill.

      What details do you need in addition to those that were shown in the video? Please tell me, so that I can add them. It's pretty much as simple as connecting 12V from PSU to the connecting leads in the battery pack. I just added connectors in between to make it easier to disconnect the PSU as well as fuse holder to offer some additional protection for the PSU. The PSU needs to have the green wire connected to ground wire (any back wire) to turn the PSU on (may differ between PSUs but you can find ATX schemas to verify your PSU wiring). Oh, And I used doubled cables with two sets of connectors just to keep the current on one set of cables on a low level.
