Hello all.

I have been a long time dewalt user but have seen a few tools from Ryobi that I wanted to add to my arsenal. Not wanting to buy a bunch of new batteries I set out to build an adapter to use Dewalt 20v Batteries on Ryobi tools, WHILE preserving the protection for dewalt batteries from over discharge.

Here’s my solution:

You can get prebuilt Dewalt adapters for a decent price, but the Milwaukee ones are insane 70 bucks with shipping from Australia.

I’ve seen those. They’re 3D printed and WAY too expensive, even for Australia. We already pay too much for Ryobi but for not much more you can get a genuine charger and battery.

 

If they were priced around $30 AUD I would definitely get one.

The Dewalt and Makita ones I saw were like 25 dollars after shipping.
