This is an adapter to allow me to use a Porter Cable 20v Li-Ion battery in my old Craftsman 18V NiCad drill. I am too cheap to throw away the old Craftsman drill even though the batteries no longer work and they would be too expensive to replace. I ended up with several "slide on" Porter Cable Li-Ion batteries so I designed this adapter. It allows me to use the old Craftsman drill without modifying the drill itself.
You will need:
- The printed adapter
- One old Craftsman battery to sacrifice for the; A. Contacts B. Top plastic shell C. Screws D. Retention Clips (locking/release tabs)
- Two springs approximately 3/4" long
- Two bolts of your choice approximately 1.25" maybe 10-24 thread or 1/4-20
- Two short pieces of insulated wire
- Two pieces of metal for flat contacts. I use Hillman 1/2" stock 0.016" thick
UPDATE: v15 has a slightly larger and deeper hole for the retention spring.
