[DIY AC battery adapter for Ridgid]

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to DIY an AC Ridgid power adapter using a 24V 16A output lighting power supply with a Ridgid battery shell I have from a dead battery.  I'd just connect the 24V power supply outputs to the Ridgid 18V battery connectors.

 

Would this work?  Using 24V to drive 18V Ridgid power tools/shop vacs would be ok won't burn the tool?

 

This would be real handy when I need to run a power tool/cordless shop vac when my Ridgid battery is out.

 

Thanks

[Ridgid Battery Adapter RD45363 Anyone knows?]

H all,

 

New to this forum.  I own a couple of Ridgid power tools.  I'm looking into ways to use the Ridgid tools in case batteries around me run out of juice.

 

I wonder if anyone used this Ridgid battery adapter before or currently owns this product: RD45363.

 

I wonder what's the max current output it can provide.  Would it work with any Ridgid power tools?
