Summary

This is a battery holder (including clip) for Makita BL1013 10.8v batteries - the kind found in a whole range of Makita hand-held products.

Just print, get 2 thin spade connectors (or sheets of metal), glue them in the holes (align them with a battery clipped in), and you can use your Makita drill batteries for whatever you want.

Why do you want this? 10.8v batteries will run most 12v things pretty well. I put a power jack on to the end of mine and use it for:

  • 12v air compressors
  • Mains inverter
  • 12v dremel-style drills
  • 12v electric soldering iron
  • Light bulbs (you can get 900 lumen 12v MR16 LED bulbs, which make insanely bright torches)
  • PC fans (to blow air away from work, or to start barbecues)
  • Water pumps (car windscreen washer pumps)

In the pictures I've replaced the dead 9.6v NiCd battery in an old drill of mine with the battery connector, and I can now run run it off Makita Lithium batteries.
