With those chargers I could squeeze a total of 21 most being 2ah batteries. Since that video I had changed to the dual simultaneous charger. It charges 2 at the same time and faster.

Currently using mine for EDC hand tools and drill There’s a way to organize it so you’re not “digging” for stuff if you play around with it

Sorry, new to making videos.

@@nickwit1168 no biggie. Lots of views!

No, doesn't get hot at all.

Thanks I’m Thinking of making one for my battery’s as well

1) why would you move it if it's plugged in and charging? 2) while the batteries are in the chargers the lid won't close. 3) I first thought why would you plug a VAC into the case? Just plug it into an outlet. Then I re-thought the idea, if you only have 1 available outlet then being able to plug in a vac would be good. Thanks for the thought, I may use it on a future project.

I did it! Probably isn’t the best layout as far as room goes but I put the plug in the center on the side. On the opposite side is a female plug so you can plug in shop vac, light, fan etc. the bars still lock in place and the plugs do not interfere. I’m thinking about putting some good water flex silicone around the seal just in case. The female plug I found only has 2 mounting holes instead of 3 like the make plug. I zapped it too hard and it bent in a bit. Hopefully the case doesn’t flex too much and some water resistant silicone holds up

Thank you. Honestly I don't notice a difference between them as far as charging goes. The bigger charger has the transformer in the base and the little one has it in the plug. That's it as far as I can tell. Charging times are the same. You can arrange the bigger chargers differently but will fit less batteries.

The other day I was considering redoing the case to put in the bigger chargers. When I looked at the power input between the 2 size chargers I called my electrician to confirm some info. I have 3 size chargers and even though all of them output 18v, the main difference is the input wattage. The biggest charger is 110w, that charger is way too big for this setup. The larger physical charger (with the transformer built into the base) input is rated at 55w while the smaller physical charger with the transformer built into the plug (like the 2 I used in the video) input rating is actually 60w. It's only a 5w difference but still 5w is 5w. If you have 2 or more size chargers and want to build this case, check out the input wattage of the chargers and see which one is better for you. Remember, I used Ridgid so a different brand may have different ratings.

Your not serious right? Why would anyone have batteries with no tools. The video wasn't about tools. It's about storing batteries in a car to be brought into my home at night during the winter months so they're not left outside in the cold. I got the idea from another video that only held 6 batteries. I obviously have more. The batteries i collected came with tool sets not just batteries alone. As far as the amount I only have 2 corded tools, the rest are cordless so the more the better while on a job site with no electricity available.

this had me thinking. It would work great as a laptop, etc charging station as well. Camera and drone batteries charging along with the computer. You could just jack in on a snowy or rainy day and start charging everything. This idea has potentials!@@nickwit1168

This is a video about a battery box and charger unit, not about any tools. If you actually work for a living, you would understand why you would have multiple batteries if you switch to all cordless tools. Personally, I prefer to go to a job and not have to plug into my customers power whenever possible, even to just charge batteries. Your comment is actually pretty ignorant.

Yes

How? Charging times are the same as if plugged directly into an outlet separately.

@@nickwit1168 I have all of the chargers. If you're not in a hurry , diy weekend warrior then find but if you have a big tasks then You might be in trouble. Sometime like a big job site. I normally used fast chargers

@@Leveluplivin I'm not worried because I have 12 batteries anyway.

That's a good idea. 🤔

Yes I did. The double sided tape I used (mentioned in the video) is strong enough to hold even with just ridges. Just make sure you cover the whole base. Send a pic when your done.

@@nickwit1168 I tried the tape method but it didn't work for me. I ended up using a handheld glue gun on some of the ridges on the bottom of the charging stations and then putting them where I desired and I then added glue along the bottom edge most of the way around the charger as best I could. They're not going anywhere now. Wish I could attach a few pictures here to show you the end product but my case came out awesome, thanks to your video.

Show when completed. After reorganizing I can actually fit 21 batteries. Of course I don't have 21 but the space is there.
