Lidl (Parkside Performance) to Aldi (Ferrex) 20V Battery Adapter

thingiverse

Hi there! I created this adapter to utilize my existing affordable Parkside Performance batteries from Lidl with the inexpensive Ferrex tools that can be purchased without battery. You'll require three male contacts and three female contacts (positive, negative, and temperature pins). For the female contacts, I employed VAG part number 000 979 228 E, a replacement wire featuring two female "double-spring-contacts." However, I constructed the female contact for the temp pin out of two dupont male contacts due to the VAG part's higher cost. I'm still waiting for my Aliexpress shipment. For the male connections, I used three cable-shoes with screw-holes because I had them available. Here are the Aliexpress parts that I ordered: Male: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32996715636.html Female: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32873079089.html In my experience, the adapter sits securely enough to use it without fastening on the Ferrex-side. Nonetheless, there is a 2mm wide, 13mm long gap available for securing something if needed.
