I will address concerns I read in this thread. tw05 discussed powering his Roomba with Li-on packs. Power tools are a more demanding use than his lamp assemblies. Seemed like a useful item and offered it for sale on ebay.

He is using it on a portable lighting product. I designed the Kobalt battery mount for a client. Cost $10 to rebuild nicad with HF and notice no difference other than weight.

The HF wiegh less but work fine I don't care about mah numbers or amps on nicad but do on lithium as it's not same. I've done it and some say you gotta have a good soldering iron, nope my 3m from Wally did it fine. To rebuild lithium packs some say you can't well BS you just get the cells for laptops but the right ones and Viola same as above. I would guy a dumb adapter because its so easy to rebuild old nicad batteries just go to HF with 20% off coupon and buy one of their cheapo ones take it apart and solder them up with wire and take them together in the right formation and bingo, much cheaper than buying cells online. Both are 20v without load and 18 with, check out a Lowes add or it might be menards but it has fine print stating that and I checked my 18v makita with my multi meter and sure enough 18, They have the same amount of cells and the new dewault flex volts have a sliding contact switch that just engages more cells when hooked up to a 40v and to be able to be shipped by airplane also so it's a smart design. The 18v and 20v are the same it's just a marketing scam/strategy. I hope the seller will join in here as they were open to the idea of engineering different solutions (maybe adapters for other brands?). I currently use one of my Lithium tool batteries rigged up with a home made battery adapter to run my old roomba. I just tinker at home with my own stuff so maybe some more experienced members can chime in. I am in no way an authority on electronics. There are way too many possibilities to list.

One could even hook up 2 24 Volt batteries in series to make a 40 plus volt battery. You could even buy a tool from a different company and mount a battery adapter on it to use with your current line up. In theory battery adapters could help re-purpose old tools that now have worn out Ni-cad batteries. I am also giving the seller the link to this thread. I did message the seller for more information about making more if there was demand. I am in no way affiliated with the seller and have not purchased an adapter. He (or she) makes them using a 3D printer. By chance I came across a seller on eBay selling Kobalt 24v battery adapters. As some of you might have noticed Lowes has been selling Kobalt 24 volt batteries starting at $10 (started a week ago I think).
