maybe an umbilical cord type thing like you can do to the makita batts so they clip onto the belt rather than the drill. makes it real light and easier to work with

Yea that would just be better anyway even if you were using the original batts, and should be well easy to knock up. I may have a look at that....
 
I guess that would boil down to how often you would be switching tools or had to put the machine down but unclipping would still be easier and safer than a trailing cable.
 
Hi chaps,
I just made another one. (Well, not fully finished though) My mate had a few Ryobi batteries 2.4 amp Li-on and recently changed to Dewalt.
There are a few pictures of almost exactly what is done and tools/materials needed.

some werid and wonderful things you find on here! personally if id took the time gutt the orginal battery i would just buy some new cells and fix the orginal battery. You can get the cells used in nimh dewalts for about a £0.75pence if brought in bulk.

My mod that i did to my dewalt 36v flash light was pretty sweet, i brought the best led i could find a 700lm luxeon rebel tri-star from America and fitted it to the snake torch with a cpu heatsink the torch lasted for about 35hrs and brighter than the orginal. It was that good that someone nicked it. I was gutted i spend a fair few evenings doing it!
 
Well, after a year since I build the adaptor I have found some extra benefits. Makita Li-on batteries tend to fault on a regular basis and are practically impossible to get charged again by the Makita charger.
Guess what, I can recharge any faulty Makita battery with my adaptor and a Dewalt charger! :D:D:D
