DIY Power For My Boat From Tool Batteries

  • Ah, the good old Beef Weenie. Wait. No. That isn’t right. This is the second half of building a box that lets me use my DeWalt 20 Volt power tool batteries to power the 12 Volt system on my boat. Probably the most important part of this project is the battery protection module which kills the circuit if voltage gets too low to keep my power tool batteries from dying. If you are going to try this yourself don’t skip that step.
    We had some success with this iteration of the Beef Weenie. I can use the DeWalt batteries to charge a phone or anything else on USB, but wasn’t getting juice to the boat. I am thinking the power box (sorry, beef weenie) is fine and the problem is with the 12 volt panel in the boat. GOOD NEWS, is that I have a ton of work ahead trying to get my boat ready for the summer and a lake slip, so there will be a change to get this think completely ready to go.

    I’m trying the same thing and came across this video but want to use it to power my diesel heater and over landing fridge. Got the parts today.

    Do you think I could do something similar to use dewalt batteries to use the electric start on my outboard?

      You would have to use a pretty beefy battery to get enough amps for the starter. Probably cheaper to just use a lion or AGM motorcycle or sxs battery.

    Nice cover you have for your C-22.

    I know you already had the batteries and wanted to try to make it work, but you could have bought a Jackery, Anker, or GoalZero power station.

      I looked at a couple but they mostly provide ac or USB power at low amps. I need a 12 plug.

    Hi, which Low Voltage Disconnect Module did you use are they come in different configurations? Was it the DC 10 to 32V, Rated current: 30 Amp

    Could you hook that box up to a inverter and power some small items?

    • @ZeroToAwesome
      @ZeroToAwesome  2 года назад

      I kind of wonder how much power a little inverter can get out of those batteries

    Have you damaged your taste buds to the point you just think it tastes good. I'd think you might get loads of hate mail or even ran out of Texas after blasphemy like what you did to that Shiner.

      All the salt in the pickle helps to preserve the taste buds and enhance the flavor.
