Ryobi Battery Adapter

thingiverse

I was searching for a way to utilize a Ryobi 18v battery as a power source on a project I was working on, and stumbled upon the {Battery Holder for Ryobi 18V Battery by Walpeup}. He had done all the heavy lifting, so I just made some adjustments to suit my needs. I removed his cable tie tabs and added lugs to secure the terminal to the base. The base is slightly deeper than usual because I encountered difficulties locking the battery into it on the initial printout. To make it more sturdy, I designed a box that can be screwed together and mounted onto my project. Since I'm not too fond of drilling screw holes by hand, I opted out of making them. It would have taken too much time to line everything up and make holes in Tinkercad, so I simply marked the spots and drilled them manually instead. If you're interested in learning more about the battery terminals Walpeup used or his print settings, feel free to look up his original design for more information.
