Worx 20v battery adapter

thingiverse

I adore my Worx Leaf Blower and Weed Whacker, but the battery life of the 20v 1.5ah batteries is woefully inadequate to clear my entire roof or tackle my whole yard. My solution lies in a custom-designed battery emulator that fits the power tools with ease and even boasts a lock with release lever (built-in bridge support). The connector has an extremely satisfying click when attached and feels rock-solid. I managed to print it on low settings using a M3D Micro, despite it being a tight squeeze. By utilizing a 6ah (5s3p) DIY 18650 battery pack, I'm able to achieve at least an hour of runtime on each tool with what appears to be slightly enhanced power. Using a watt meter allows me to monitor how much energy is consumed while cutting the grass - this is compared to the puny 1.5ah stock battery that lasts for a mere 15 minutes. You could theoretically use it in conjunction with an AC-DC 20v adapter to turn these tools into corded devices, but let's be honest, big batteries are just plain fun. To establish a connection to the power tool, I employed bent nickel strips and soldered wires paired with a connector that can connect directly to the BMS or Watt Meter. Use the far left and right holes for positive and negative - you'll see it in the pictures.
