Craftsman V60 Battery Adapter – Flexible Dual-Voltage Power for Your Custom Builds
Repurpose your genuine Craftsman V60* Lithium-Ion batteries (60V MAX nominal ~54V, from Craftsman cordless outdoor tools) as a versatile, high-capacity power source for advanced DIY projects! These batteries feature three internal 20V sections (each ~18–20V nominal, often in a 15s3p or similar segmented configuration with independent BMS-managed packs). This adapter connects directly to one or more of these 20V sections via its wiring, allowing you to choose the output voltage by how you connect the red (+) and black (-) leads:
• Parallel wiring (connect red to red, black to black across sections if accessing multiple) → ~20V output for lower-voltage applications.
• Series wiring (connect black of one section to red of the next) → Up to ~60V output for higher-power/torque needs.
This gives you true flexibility—tap into 20V for efficiency or stack to 60V for demanding loads!
Key Features:
• Pre-wired with 8-inch 12-gauge pure copper leads – Both positive (red) and negative (black) terminals use heavy-duty 12 AWG wire, rated to safely handle the current from the accessed 20V sections (typically 20–40A+ continuous per section, depending on your battery model like 2.5Ah–7.5Ah packs).
• Flat-surface mounting design – Includes pre-drilled mounting holes compatible with M6 hardware for secure attachment to frames, enclosures, battery trays, or any flat surface in your build.
No connectors on the wire ends—just clean, tinned copper leads ready for your custom termination and voltage configuration (e.g., solder, XT60/Anderson connectors, fuses, switches, or bus bars for parallel/series setups).
Why choose this adapter?
Craftsman V60 batteries stand out for DIYers due to their segmented 3x 20V internal design (as revealed in teardowns), high capacity, strong discharge rates, built-in protection, and affordability. This adapter provides a safe, professional interface to access those internal packs without invasive mods or risky direct soldering—ideal for e-bikes (20V low-power or 60V high-torque), electric scooters, robotics, go-karts, inverters, portable power, or experimental multi-voltage systems.
Important Notes:
• Battery not included—this is the adapter only.
• Designed for output/power draw applications only (not for charging—use the official Craftsman V60 charger).
• The adapter wires to the 20V internal packs/sections—voltage output depends entirely on your external wiring (parallel for ~20V, series for multiples up to ~60V). Measure with a multimeter before use!
• Always verify your project’s voltage/current needs, add essential safety features (fusing, low-voltage cutoff, proper BMS consideration, balanced charging if applicable), and ensure excellent connections/cooling for high-discharge or series configs. Improper wiring can damage the battery or cause hazards.
• For full 60V access, you’ll likely need to wire across all three sections in series—consult teardowns or multimeter testing for exact pin/section mapping if needed.
Simple, rugged, and highly configurable—perfect for makers who want to unlock the hidden versatility of Craftsman V60 batteries.
