    How can I reduce voltage on a battery.

    First there is no problem! It is simple I want to take a 24 volt dc battery and use it to power a 20 volt dc tool. I attached pictures of the 2amphour casing and the DIY adapter attached to it, what more do you want? Some how I need to lower the 24 volts that come out of the battery to 20 volts...

    How can I reduce voltage on a battery.

    Well I want to thank everyone that tried to help me and even the one person who said I listed this request wrong and that I have "course" descriptions of the electronics I have. Well that is why I came to this forum, to find out what I need to know. When young and old people come to me for...

    How can I reduce voltage on a battery.

    Could I use a Buck Converter DC Voltage Regulator? I would need one that can handle 24 volts DC input and 20 volts DC output. I saw some that were adjustable, but I don't know which one to purchase.

    How can I reduce voltage on a battery.

    I do not want to harm the 24 volt batteries as I still use them for the lawn mower, snow blower and other tools. Can I just put 4 or 5 diodes in the positive wire inside the adapter I built?

    How can I reduce voltage on a battery.

    OK I checked the 20 volt to 18 volt adapter that works on the 18 volt tool with a 20 volt battery. There are 2 14 ga wires that go from the 20 volt battery to the 18 volt tool. There is nothing in either wire like a diode or a resistor. There are 2 20ga wires that go to a USB connection. It...

    How can I reduce voltage on a battery.

    I believe these items are for the USB, but something in this set up reduces the 20 volts to 18 volts. I will try to make a line drawing. Someone makes an adapter for 24 volt Kobalt batteries so they can be used with 20 volt tools but this will not fit the DeWalt tools.

    How can I reduce voltage on a battery.

    I have a 24 volt dc battery that I want to use on an 18 and 20 volt tool. I have built an adapter to mount the 20 volt tool to the battery. When I mount the tool on the adapter and then on the 24 volt battery nothing happens. Well the light on the tool goes out when I pull the trigger. Lets go...
