I have a Makita TD022D impact driver, which comes with two 7.2V batteries.  There is no battery meter on the driver or the batteries (unlike the bigger 18V batteries).  I use this to store the spare battery and to test the charge level.Required parts:Battery Meter (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001025276668.html). I use the 1-8S adjustable ones for various projects.  $1.52 AUD at time I created this.4mm Tactile switch, should be less that $1, but I buy them in bulk like this kit: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001827519363.html)Terminal: Can be hard to find, I purchased "Makita Terminal Gn900se/um164d/cl070d 643817-4" from https://www.partshopdirect.co.uk/makita-terminal-gn900seum164dcl070d-p643817-4/ for £2.49 Sorry, I don't have any photos of the construction, but its very simple:Print all parts (I didn't use supports) If you bought the adjustable meter, make sure the meter is set for 2 batteries (3.6V * 2) in series (2S) by creating a solder bridge on 2S pads, and removing all other solder bridges 1S, and 3-8S pads. Solder short wires between switch, terminal and meter to make a simple circuit, with the tact switch connecting the battery terminals to the meter. Glue the meter and tact switch into the cap, and glue cap onto the body.  I used hot glue.
