5V Charging Adaptor for 12V PARKSIDE Performance cordless screwdriver battery

Simple and easy DIY plug-on charging adaptor for the 12V PARKSIDE Performance (Bauforum24 Edition) cordless screwdriver.

It uses the 12V battery voltage and transforms it into 5V charging voltage for cell phones etc.

Here you can download the neccessary 3D parts to print. THIS is what you also need:

1. Charging module with 5V output
2. About 10cm of cable
3. Soldering iron, wire cutter and some glue

Mounting is pretty easy:

1. Print both 3D parts (PLA recommended).
2. Solder about 5cm of cable to the bottom PLUS & MINUS pole of the PCB.
3. Push the wires through the holes in the adaptor and glue the PCB to the surface. Ensure that the USB port sits tight and well for later connection of electronics and that the case fits over the PCB later, too.
4. Turn the adaptor arround and push the wires into the guiding rails untill they reach the outer wall. You can use some glue in the guiding rails if the cables don't want to stay in place.
5. Now remove about 1-2cm of wire isolation and wind it arround the 3x3mm screw a few times.
6. The screws need to be adjusted in depth to get in contact with the batterys PLUS/MINUS pole when placing the adaptor onto the battery.
7. Check for any possibilty of short circuits and correct connection of PLUS & MINUS.
8. Test it with a multimeter or less expensive devices like our little USB LED light :-)

Have fun!
