This is a model that allows you to charge up to 4 USB devices simultaneously off a single Ridgid 18v battery.

  • It requires a Ridgid replacement switch that I bought from HERE.
  • 2 Makerhawk DC-DC USB boards from HERE.
  • 4 M3 x 10mm screws and nuts

I made a few mistakes putting this together, and I couldn't find screws small enough for the USB board, but I made it work and it looks decent now that everything is put together.

There is a small parasitic drain with the USB boards and since there is no on/off switch if you leave this on a battery for a long time it will eventually drain the battery.  I may modify the model to add a power switch somewhere. 

Printed in Overture PETG on a Prusa Mini+ with no supports.
