DIY Ryobi 18V One+ Powerstation

Last crawled date: 4 years, 3 months ago

I have a bunch of different Ryobi 18V Power tools and an assortment of One+ Lithium batteries. I thought it would be great to make use of these batteries for other things. I decided to make a Power station that could charge USB devices and run 12V cigarette lighter socket devices. I also added an LED light for emergencies. It has room for 3 different sockets. I currently use one that has two 2.4A USB connections, another that has a QC 3.0 and Type C connectors, and a third that is a 12V cigarette light socket.
I got inspiration from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2467237
This can easily charge your cell phone or run a laptop
You could use the 12V socket to run a small AC inverter or a CPAP machine when you are camping or traveling
