DEWALT 36V tool batteries to power electric bikes, scooters ect!
Goals of this project were to use
the state of the art Lipro-4 batteries from Dewalt without voiding the
warranty of the packs and retaining full function of the on board B.M.S.
I also wanted a modular switchable system. Basically I used the Dewalt
flashlights as a base and added the resistor network described by
Neo-dynamics http://www.neodymics.com/Images/V24ProtoSwitch070818E.pdf
in addition I wound a inductor made from a scavenged ferrite torrid
core from an old computer power supply with 10 turns of #14 coper wire.
Getting all to fit back in the case was a chore but can be done. While
certainly not the most difficult electronics project some care must be
observed , use heat shrink tubbing where possible. and triple check all
your connections. The following 11 pics plus the U tube videos

should help.
