  • If you have a cordless drill with Ni-Cd battery pack, this video is for you. Because Ni-Cd batteries do not long last. Whereas, we can not buy Li-Ion battery to replace Ni-Cd battery for this particular drill. So, I removed the Ni-Cd battery from my drill and attached a cord to connect to the 12V DC socket. Now on, I can use my drill for long hours without power interruption.

    It's tough to watch the video with that background music. I would have much rather had an explanation of what/why was happening and hear how much the drill motor sped up rather than have to listen to that repetitive music.

    You can plug directly to 220v power? no need voltage converter?

      ​​@@SKILFULLIFE Hello nice video and job I like your power supply!
      I have a pretty much same black& decker old drill 12v with dead batteries...okay the power supply needs to be 12v to make it run,but what about the current;I have around my space room different types of AC-DC small converters(one with the biggest volume runs an output of 12v /2.1A ,would it work with it direct to 220v wall power supply?

    Wouldn't it be better to modify a battery charger as it converts AC from the wall into D.C. At the sort of amperage that the drill motor would run off the battery?

      SKILFUL LIFE can I use 19v adapter for 12v cordless drill machine ?

    • @SKILFULLIFE
      @SKILFULLIFE  6 лет назад +2

      If you use 19v adaptor with less than 1000mA, when you add load to the driller, the adaptor might be blown. Because, this adaptor can not handle more than 1000mA. on the other hand, if you use 19v with more than 2A adaptor, it might damage the driller. Always use a adaptor with correct configuration. You can normally get a 12V 5Amps transfomer from an old audio set and make your own power pack.

    Hi, many thanks for the instructional video. I did connect an old laptop charger(20V and 3.25A)to my chargerless cordless drill 15.6V. It worked somewhat with no burning or overheating noticed yet but the trigger startup is erratic unless, the trigger is squeezed gradually. Please how do I overcome the jerky trigger startup? What simple component might be added to resolve this? Kind regards.

    • @SKILFULLIFE
      @SKILFULLIFE  3 года назад +1

      You have to find a replacement, this is the simple way I think. Otherwise, if you are skill enough to dismantle the trigger switch, fix it, and assemble it again. For that, you may need soildering iron/hot air gun, and some tools.

      Hi Wheels Lifts ! if your saw works with 12V battery pack, it'll work with any 12V DC power source with same power and speed but, make sure you could drain enough amps from the power source to operate your saw with maximum power/speed.

    Hi, lovely video and some great work. RUclips find of the week for me. I bought a cordless drill 15.6v with no charger and the battery pack had 11, 1.2v 1500mah batteries Ni-Cd. 3 of the 11 batteries had zero voltage, the rest ranged from 0.2 to 1.1v. I want to convert the cordless drill to corded. Please I have an old laptop adaptor with output rated as 20v and 3.25A, would this be enough to run the drill, or what would be the ideal range of adaptor to use? Kindest regards.

    • @SKILFULLIFE
      @SKILFULLIFE  3 года назад +1

      You better find a adapter/power supply with 15V - 18V and greater than 5A for a safe level of use. You can buy one(15V 10A) on Amazon www.amazon.ca/159x97x30mm-Mean-Well-MeanWell-LRS-150F-15/dp/B06XS3ZJ1S/ref=sr_1_5?crid=281MC99HXYWA9&dchild=1&keywords=15v+10a+power+supply&qid=1620751900&sprefix=15v+10%2Caps%2C166&sr=8-5

    I did this but unfortunately it was an 18 volt drill, It does work but slower than with the original batteries which are long dead. Also bypass the fuse in this rig or install a high amp one. On my rig I had to bypass it because my drill is part of a kit with two saws that use the same battery and when I first tried to use the saw it popped the fuse. I bypassed it with the spring for now and that popped as well. The circular saw draws many amps. I ended up[ using a small piece of metal which worked and I was able to use the saw.

      1. Find an adapter that can output the same/similar voltage as your drill, with output of 2-5Amps.
      2. Connect the wires to the battery connectors.
      3. Turn it on.
