I'm planning on mounting a bunch of battery packs for power tools on the wall above my workbenches for easy access but this holder would also work under an horizontal surface such as the underside of a workbench or shelf…

I have several brands that I need to design for (DeWalt, Bosch, WORX and Porter Cable).

This is my first design. It is intended for WORX 20 volts max (power share) batteries. Beside the holder itself, I also designed a simple three position manual indicator/battery condition reminder to affix near the holder to keep track of the battery condition.

Some of my batteries have integrated charge level indicators but many do not and that's where this little add-on will come in handy, I think. The indicator works using a slider pointing to the last known condition of the battery. It is meant to be secured onto a flat surface near the battery holder using double sided adhesive tape, therefore, I didn't include screw holes for it… 

The base should be printed in the upright position and should require little to no support if your printer bridges well enough. I included two versions: one locking and one non-locking. The non-locking one is shown above. The locking one will require a support for the top of the locking slot.

The indicator should be printed as shown on its back as shown on the image, with a little bit of support inside the slider channel.

The slider should be printed on its side. Note that the clearance between the moving parts is tight (0.3mm). Therefore, it may need some convincing when inserting… With my setup, it is a bit too tight to start with but once it's in place and worn in, it slides smoothly but also stays in place when set, which is what I was aiming for. Your results may vary…

I printed using PLA, 0.2 mm layer height at 20% gyroid infill (I beefed it up to 40% locally for the battery holder rails). The non-locking holder needed 17 grams of filament. The locking one needed 19.
