islayhawk 0 Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Has anyone ever modified a Cordless drill battery to use for lamping. I have a broken drill and I was thinking of using the batteries for my lamping kit. the idea was to strip the single cell batteries out of it and tape the correct number together to make the correct voltage. They would be light enough to attach to my gun butt. However I do not know if they would have the power (aH). Has anyone ever tried it. islayhawk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe he should have asked for advice like I have. However a physics expert has shown me that it can be done. Simply the case of forming 3 or 4 parallel banks of 4 batteries in series. This gives an output of 6volts with an Ah of about 4. With 6v low watt bulbs this will give approx 8hrs. More than adequate for lamping with an airgun. Tape the batteries together and VIOLA!!! a nice light battery pack that can be taped to the butt of the gun. islayhawk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
