This for the 12v dewalt battery, the 20v battery is done to death. Here is a link to the video of the 20v wiring, the wiring is the same for the 12v: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ck6Xxc7YAyw This is based on https://www.printables.com/model/226563-dewalt-20v-battery-dock by joel. Your version fits perfectly on the 20v battery, however I wanted one for the 12v battery and this is it. The 12v dewalt makes a perfect battery for camping as the 12v is pretty much the standard for car electric appliances. From the 12v its an easy step to 5v for cell phone chargers as well. I also added a project box for it. In this way I had room for an inline fuse, and a battery low voltage protector. Dewalt batteries do not handle being used to 0volts and the dewalt appliances have a low voltage cutoff to protect the battery. Well it turns out you can buy very cheaply that circuit board so the the usage of the battery will not let the battery drain to below a preset voltage. That board cost me about $2 with delivery: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2255799930523536.html adding an inline fuse to protect everything:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/221843859083 and now the 12v Dewalt battery can be used to light your campsite without any issue. The box molded into the top of this connector is more than big enough to hold the protection circuit, the inline fuse, as well as some spare fuses and has an access panel to run the socket line out of the assembly (I use the car cigarette lighter socket as the main junction,) and branch out connections from there.
