In this video I'll transform this old, cordless power drill Ni-Cd battery to lithium battery by using 18650 Sony VTC5 cells.
Update! From the date when video was made pased some time and Sony released new version of high drain cells with bigger capacity 3120mAh - VTC6. Genuine Sony VTC6 cells could be bought here:
2 pcs - goo.gl/2TyRsB
4 pcs - goo.gl/GeqJTX
8 pcs - goo.gl/WfYuXB
Authentic Sony US18650VTC5 2600mAh cells came from Gearbest.com:

Great vid, thanks! I switched from a battery to wired drill when my batteries died after 3 years use, and I found out the price of a battery pack was the same price as the drill! Most of my drill use is within reach of a plug socket, and I don't have to worry about my project coming to a halt because both of my battery packs are have ran out of juice ;) But I have kept the old drill so I could resurrect it now, cheers!

Awesome. Amazed at your confidence opening up the Battery case and modifying to replace with Li-ion Batteries and Bonus metering. I always have the fear that 'rough handling' battery packs is hazardous. Truly you have done a super super job. Luckily I have not thrown away my industrial AEG 14.4V Nicd power drill. I hope someone can help me convert like you did. 👏👏👏

@gerrymcerlean8432 4 жыл бұрын

great idea! I noticed your drill was rated for 9.6v. Three LI-ion batteries in series have a max. voltage of 12.6V and a nominal voltage of 11.1V which means your drill will draw about 16% more current and might overheat and burn out. On the up-side, the drill should be more powerful. I think it's worth taking a chance on this as it's such a great idea.

Finally! Was able to get my 18v harbor freight impact drill to work just like this. I used 10 batteries 5s2p. It was a tight fit. The old batteries would self drain after each use. But now, used it and after a week its still fully charged. Awesome. You are a life saver. Or I mean a drill saver. Thanks, and good luck!

We just upgraded from AGM's to Lithiums by building our own battery bank on our sailboat (we liveaboard) using 180 amp hour, 3.6-volt CALB cells, and a DALY BMS, wiring the cells in a 4s2p orientation. So stoked on the upgrade! We charge our lithiums in 2 different ways. We send the power from our 120 amp Balmar alternator on our engine to our 100 amp-hour sealed lead-acid starter battery. From there a Renogy 60 amp DC-DC charger takes the load from the alternator and puts it in a lithium profile and in turn charges the lithium batteries. It was a fun build!

@beejay6772 7 жыл бұрын

Why do you not charge the 18650 cells in Li-ion mode? I think it is somewhat saver and charges the batteries till 4.10 V each. Also more than enough to start. Further it is a very good alternative!

@pilotsmoe 8 жыл бұрын

My personal opinion, I would replace with high capacity Ni-mh batteries, the lithium are a pain in the ass, you always have to make sure the batteries are balanced with a balance charger(some say you can charge a few times without the balance lead, but if the battery was sitting for a long time, and a cell looses it's charge, then you got a fire). At least with Ni-mh batteries, you can put them on trickle charge to balance out all of the cells. I did this with one battery, used an old charger, gutted it, and use it as a base so I can hook up to my Imax b6 charger. (which used to always kill batteries,as it wasn't a computerized charger with delta-v cutoff, so the batteries would just cook.) Every so often, I'll just hook it up to my constant current charger and just let it trickle at 100 mA for 24 hours to even out the cells.

@danijel124 8 жыл бұрын

Most if not all of the branded 18650 have a temperature switch built inside. If the temperature of a cell increases to about 90 deg. celsius and above you hear a slight pop and the battery stops working.

Now I just need to get 5 matching batteries to make up the 18 volts. I use the 18650 for phone chargers and flashlights but now it will be even more useful for work since I'm a mechanic and the old battery just doesn't hold up to the job anymore. Awesome Video!

I have the same Bosch 9.6V drill. I used three 18650 2.1AH Lithiums from a 6 cellToshiba laptop battery bought on Ebay for £3, (£2 postage) so they cost me £2.50 & 3 spare cells. I wired a 12V 5W Zener in series with a 39 ohm resistor across them, then used the voltage across the resistor to switch on a transistor wired across the existing thermistor to switch off the charger (which also has a convenient max output of 12.6V 750mA). Charges them up to 4V each so likely no balancing problems & no overcharge. I can still use the original Bosch charger for both this battery and for a spare 9.6V 1.7AH NiCd battery pack. Works fine, plenty of torque and hasn't caught fire yet.

I have a pair of 7.2V Bosch drills that look very similar to your 9.6V. They both are around 20 years old and replacement betteries about 6 years ago cost more than the drills did. I didn't go as far as you have, I just fitted twin 18650 battery holders inside the original battery case with thicker wire and used high drain 18650's. The original snap mounting onto the drill holds everything together quite well. Doing it this way does mean I can replace just the batteries when they need it. The mistake I made is that they do not have any protection circuits so I will have to get batteries that do. It was your video that made me bite the bullet and convert the very old dead original batteries. With the original batteries these little 7.2V drills could punch a 100mm screw around 5mm below the wood surface. Just goes to show that Volts has absolutely nothing to do with power, It's volts x amps = WATTS that matter. Ni-Cd actually can deliver a higher current but the 18650's seem fine.

The old battery pack was 9.6 volts (eight x 1.2v NiCd cells), but your new pack is 12.6 volts when fully charged (4.2 x 3) and 9.0 volts when fully discharged (3.0 x 3). Do your cordless tools accept the higher voltage without damage? And what about capacity. Sure the drill spins faster with more torque when given 12.6v instead of 9.6v, but can you drive in the same number of screws or operate for the same length of time before the tool has depleted the battery? I would expect that the capacity is significantly reduced, given that you have 3 cells instead of 8 and the total mass of chemicals in the batteries is half (your weight comparison) even though LiPo chemistry is more energetic than NiCd. I'm not making any claims here, only asking questions with my real concerns and the reasoning behind the questions (which could be faulty). I'd be very interested to hear your experience. Particularly because I am tempted to do something like this with my Ryobi 18 volt battery packs, if they will hold 5 or 6 cells inside of them.

@sanityfalling 8 жыл бұрын

Most cordless tools can accept slightly higher voltages without issue, Might effect the life in the long term but I find that usually something else craps out first like the gears getting chewy. For instance often those 20V tools often have the same motors in them as the 18V and those same 18V tools accept 20V just fine. I have 3d printed battery conversion adapters so I don't have to worry about getting stuck in a system. Lithium battery packs really are worth it btw, they stay charged on the shelf, no more coming back to a tool and finding it dead, nicads love to just lose power over time. Well if you do it yourself you will have to make sure whatever you rig up doesn't draw power when "off" but yea. milliamps-watts.appspot.com/ Calculator to see mAh in relation to voltage.

@sanityfalling 8 жыл бұрын

Oh also you can get some very small dc to dc buck converters, then you can limit the voltage. Perhaps install a trim pot so you can overdrive it when you want the power and under when you want the battery to last. Would give you a consistent voltage also instead of dealing with drop off, I think actual lithium tool batteries may have that built into their modules since they often just cut off instead of losing power.

@wulf659 8 жыл бұрын

the 8 nicd cells are only 1.2volts at what is called their nominal voltage. fully charged they are 1.4volts which takes the voltage up to 11.2 volts so the difference is probably within it's tolerance

Nice job! I did a similar job on my prev gen to yours Bosch 9.6v drill - the PSB-VE with the metal clip that secures the battery in place. I used 3S bms board rated 40A, sold as for drills and power tools and samsung ncr 3000mAh cells. I have a MOT spot welder to connect up the cells. I had to reshape the old battery case a bit to fit the 3 cells as a flat pack - not too difficult with a hot air gun to soften the ABS. I fitted the case with a dean connect and JST balance connect like you so I could use my Imax (direct connection to the cells), and a 5.5mm jack for 12v DC input to the BMS pcb, alternative charge mode (diy ATX bench power supply). LED battery charge indicator + switch like yours. To put the case back together I used plastic weld solvent (works well on ABS) and soldering iron with diy plastic soldering tip (copper nail cut down). I think it is beneficial to have the protection of an appropriate BMS while you're using the drill. Also this type of BMS with input and output terminals the same allow the possibility of using the original charger because the input will be through the BMS. In practice I noted that the voltage across the charger (rated 7.2-12V) terminals was 19V on my multimeter - could blow the BMS? More commonly the original charger's won't fully charge the LIPO's.

You can use double (triple, quadruple) the amount of laptop 18650's in parallel to achieve the necessary constant discharge rate. Of course then you'll need to modify (extend) the battery case to fit them all in. Another option is to mod a DC in jack to the battery pack or the drill, (my preferred method, behind the motor). It'll bypass the battery if wired correctly (DC - for the battery goes through the DC jack).

Excellent rendition sir . Loved so much as it's effective too for my case . Cud you Kindly spell out the battery specification so that I can find same in India. By the way my Argos challenger 9.6 V Ni Cad drill doesn't have any digital display of voltage and alarm, so I am going to connect directly. OK ?

Dear friend; I bought all goods except the B6 balance charger. Can I charge it without balance charger? Or how can I use Tp4056 circuits for balance charging?
