Really interesting Andreas. It has given me ideas for powering some of my projects that could need to be used in remote locations. Btw, I finally ordered by Prusa 3D printer thanks to you and Scott's info and use of them. Hopefully should be here in a couple of weeks!

Hi Sarah, I am sure you will like your new printer! If you invest some time to learn Fusion360 (or similar) you will be able to do amazing things with it.

I'd been thinking about something similar recently as I have 8 batteries from my drills. I was thinking about making them into USB power banks to take camping. Although time is short with work and my new dog. Maybe if a certain guy with a Swiss accent made one I could copy🤣 Love the ideas you come up with.

Hi Warby 66, Sorry for my late answer. Somehow, I did not see your message. What you need is any buck converter with the input voltage range of your drill batteries and 5 volts output. Plus the max current you want to use. Make sure you divide the advertised max current by at least 2 and check if the converter gets hot with the maximum load (particularly if is enclosed). P.S. We had our daughter's dog here for the last two weeks. I agree dogs need much more time than cats ;-)
