Re: Powering the Robot From the Battery Charger

GRT for years have been using 12 volt drills with the motor removed as power sources. Remove the motor and install long leads that you can use to power things with One drill battery will run 2 CIM motors. We use Anderson Power Pole connecters to hook things up. This gives you a variable voltage reversible polarity power source. You can add a fuse to both leadssince bioth can be positve. Walmart has their own line of 12 volt drills for 20$.
