In this project we will be having a closer look at my vacuum. The problem is that its run time is roughly around 10 minutes and the worst part is that it takes 4 hours to charge up. So I will be showing you how I added an adapter to the vacuum which allows using Makita battery packs in order to power it. This way the battery run time becomes basically endlessly because I got 2 battery packs I can switch between. You can of course implement this Makita battery pack idea into other devices if you know what you are doing ;-) Let’s get started!
