Yep, been doing this for about 3 years now with Ryobi. First one I made was a Ryobi flashlight with added dc converter to 12 volts and a lighter adapter with 2 usb ports. Second one i built was out of a single ryobi battery charger that puts out a full 18 volts with a 12 volt plug in. I use this one to run my 12 volt ebay portable car washer which does handle the 18 volts fine for the last 4 years. If it burns out, i will simply buy another one as the car washer is so cheap. Nice thing is when the power is out you are not. I always have 18 volt batteries ready to go. I even can run a 300 watt inverter for about 40 mins on a 6amp battery. 12 volt lunchbox cooker works fine too on 18 volts. Thank you for the videos.

Superb stuff yes I'm amazed some folks still don't realise you can boost as well as regulate

A string of series 1N540x 3 amp Silicon diodes will each constant drop around 0.7v costing pennies !N5407 are sometimes Shockley diodes which have a lower drop.

Yes to can do with diodes but it's not regulated and you can't boost up the voltage either something I wanted to show because 12V lead acid battery sags

How did you not shock yourself at 10:43 when you touched both terminals?

Yes in theory with the right DC to DC converter, the cells in these batteries are capable of many 100s of Watts in short bursts, any voltage under 50V is generally safe to touch with dry fingers, I wouldn't put my tongue across it though
