Post #24 you can read the details
Here is what I did I took the Kobalt battery charger and gutted it out and put the soldering station controller in the case instead of charging controller
Cut the charger case for the soldering station controller the only problem I had was that I did not cut exactly
straight but everything fit and to me it came out better than I expected it to I know that this will work
One thing I still have to do is find a switch for the power on right now I have to remove the battery to turn it off
I just have to buy another Kobalt battery charger and I will be set
Right now I am using the 4amp hour battery pack Lowe’s had a Black Friday Sale and they had a two pack sale for $100.00 pulse I had gotten a $10.00 off coupon that they were giving out for the first 300 people that show up when they open the doors when one battery cost $59.00 each
Right now Lowe’s is out of stock on the 2amp hour battery packs
One other note
The second version of this battery BMS protection board I have not tried it yet with brand name batteries because I did not have the right heat shrink tubing but I do have it now and I might get to it in next few days I hope because I off from work for two weeks vacation I need a rest from work
