RYOBI DIY 13.8V Regulated Power Station by nafis

Last crawled date: 3 years, 3 months ago

I have a ton of Ryobi 18V batteries that could be used to supply power during an outage or a camping trip.
Here's my latest design of a Ryobi 18V Power Adapter. It provides regulated 13.8 VDC/10A to a cigarette lighter socket. There are a variety of USB cigarette lighter adapters that you can plug in to charge phones and power laptops. It can run a CPAP or a 12V freezer.
I've developed more high-end ones in the past ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4168822 ). I found a small simple design on thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4105591 ) and remixed it by adding a cover ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4561390 ).
Here is a youtube video that describes the project: https://youtu.be/C2XiyP9vXhw
