Battery Conversion DeWalt DC600 Cordless Screwdriver to 18650 Cell

15 years ago I received an amazing present from a friend - DeWalt Cordless Screwdriver - DC600 Type 1. It was a great tool and I’m really happy that he chose exactly this model for my daily PC work with desktop computers and other electrical devices.

I used it more than thousand times and it was always serving as a stable and compact tool. But as any other device which is using batteries for power supply, soon or later you reach the tragic moment when you need to replace them.

New batteries at online shops are really expensive, so I decided to make an experiment and try to save the standard original battery by using one of the most common cells you can find in laptops - the famous 18650 cell.

You need to be very careful when you working with lithium cells. They store a lot of energy and you can easily start fire if you are not following standard safety rules and precautions. Lithium Polymer and Li-ion batteries are volatile. Failure
to follow the below instructions may result in fire, personal injury and damage to property if charged or used improperly.
