Using a Drill Battery to Power a Monitor(Portable Monitor)

In this video I come up with a solution to a monitor that rides on a gantry camera system. Rather than drag a cord along the answer was a battery powered monitor! I have so many drill batteries laying around it was the obvious choice.

Mighty brave of you to test on your phone! I''m increasingly jealous of your tech setup in the shop. :)

If you get a monitor with an external power brick, they're usually about 19V, which is real close to the same as an 18/20V tool. battery. With that type of monitor, you wouldn't have to crack open the monitor to remove the inverter from the loop. 👍

Thank you for answering why you didn't just open the monitor😂😂 great idea and execution Austin

I’m so interested in that. How long does the battery keep the monitor going for on average? That’s the only thing I would worry about it running through batteries all the time. This would be perfect though for out here in Okinawa though.

So far I have had it running for 3 hours on a 5amp hour battery. I haven't ever filmed longer than that in a direct stretch but I think I was probably getting close to needing to swap batteries.

@theknifeconnection9571 Жыл бұрын

3 hours isn’t bad. Back in the day you were lucky to get a laptop to last that long.

@johnclarke2462 Жыл бұрын

Great video. How long would the monitor last on a full charge?

@HighCaliberCraftsman Жыл бұрын

A couple hours is about the longest I run it before swapping batteries. I’ve never done a full battery drain test. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

This is very cool. What size voltage reducer did you use?

@HighCaliberCraftsman 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I used a 48 to 12 volt reducer. I linked the exact one I used in the description under the video.

@matthewdeery 11 ай бұрын

@@HighCaliberCraftsman The voltage reducer you linked is " DC 8V-40V to 13.8V" - does 13.8 still qualify as 12v? I'm working through the build now. Thanks!

Hi goodmorning brother can i direct the battery to 12 volt monitor

@HighCaliberCraftsman 2 жыл бұрын

If you went inside the monitor and found the control panel I bet it would be 12v inside. That’s way above my knowledge though. Best of luck 👍🏼

Subtle “I have an attractive family” brag with the cell phone. What do you think the runtime will be on 1 battery?

@HighCaliberCraftsman 3 жыл бұрын

😂😂 I am hoping the 5 amp hour will net me 3 hours. I never film for more than 2 hours straight so I haven't been able to test full charge run time yet.
