On every B&D I have seen, if you hold the battery so the tabs are pointing AWAY from you, (with the securing clip TOWARD you), the positive tab will be the RIGHT side. THEREFORE, use the VOM to determine (if possible) the polarity of the B&D battery tabs. ![]() Keep in mind you must wire up the adapter to accommodate these plus and negative qualities. Ignore the other connector plates, they are for charging and temperature sensing and will not affect the operation in the tool. Note that the B&D battery pack and the Ryobi battery and flashlight body are of similar size! This will work!įirst, note the Ryobi battery has the POSITIVE and NEGATIVE connectors marked on the battery top. īut where does that leave me and my collection of B&D tools, all still in good condition, but without a power source?Ĭan the B&D tool be operated by a Ryobi battery of similar voltage? Yes it can….Ī B&D “dead” 18V NiCad battery pack #244760, or HPB18-OPE or similar sizeĪ Ryobi Battery Flashlight P704 (this is the cheapest way to obtain the Li-Ion battery connector “dock”. Their line of One Plus tools and Li Ion batteries has earned a loyal following. Ryobi developed NiCad battery powered tools, and then developed Lithium Ion batteries to keep their tools operating. Lithium Ion technology, leaving that to other companies. ![]() B&D dropped the line, often did not honor battery warranties and refused to switch to the newly developed The NiCad batteries did not last as longĪs they were touted to last, did not keep their charge even over night. Altho the tools were well designedĪnd worked well, the batteries proved to be of low quality. They had a new means to renew that reputation. With the presentation of the “Firestorm” line of cordless, 18volt NiCad battery powered tools, Rationale: Black & Decker once had a reputation for reliable, useful tools. Made in heat and chemical resistant material.Making an adapter to run Black & Decker “Firestorm” NiCad Slide Battery tools with Ryobi Li-Ion battery. We do not recommend buying our adapters without fully understanding how to use it properly, protect the battery, and the device you intend to power.Īll power adapters designed and assembled in Ohio, USA. To protect your device you should convert your voltage using a DCDC converter to match your device's acceptable voltage range. We also recommend adding a low voltage disconnect circuit or a timer to prevent the battery from dropping past low voltage threshold (which will damage the battery or shorten its life span) (Max battery voltage/4.2)*3.3 = typical low voltage threshold. Warning: To use this adapter properly, we recommend using a fuse thats rated about 30% higher than the max current you expect to draw.
