i have a old 12 volt b&d that we took the cells out and hooked about 5  feet of heavy cord to it and use those small 12 v sla battery that they
 use in ups 's etc.
 If it its cooler i can stick the battery in my chore coat pocket or summer i have a tool belt and i put the battery in the pouch.
The sla's last longer  on a charge and I think the drill has more power.
The ones you build Norm maybe put a belt clip on them so  the operator could clip it to his belt.

Yes the ones I build, I have the option of a short cord of about 3-4 ft.  or a longer
cord .....6ft. is about long enough to lay on the workbench where it is quite handy.
Now you can easily switch to a 3ft cord and the batteries slip into your back pocket.

This is really feasible to use with an 18 volt circular saw  that would require
frequent switching of batteries.
A large but transportable hunk of battery like 5 or 10 ampere (120 cells ) would keep a circular saw going .

For my own use I no longer need to solder replacement cells into a standard
battery pack.....but for others it is still this cordless battery pack that I use to test
the batteries before soldering into standard battery packs .
Thanks for the feedback and comments  Isaiah !

dont think you really need a name--just address...bill w. should do it... thanks again norm
   still need your address to send the moneyorder..............amount ?


heres my email..........hiker............/\/\w\/\/.... .wild@yahoo.com
    Isn't that just great? Finally got your batteries all lined up and lost or
missing what your address is ....so just let me know and I'll send them right off.
  they are in 4cell series in their original tubes but with tabs left on  the positive
terminals you can test or recharge them like they are they should read about
5.2 or so each.... so 3 packs (12 cells) should read close to 16 volts when fully charged.
 
  So my address is
N Fritzsche
126 Thomas Dr.
Conneaut, Ohio

sorry for the delay .....this 'cold weather' has been slowing me down.
