Sullivan Starter battery upgrade

[Denis Cloutier]

I decided to put a battery on my sullivan starter instead of plugging it to my field battery all the time. The commercial BATTERY PACK HOLDER need 2 extra battery. The cost at Ron Heliproz $100 plus shipment.

I bought a small Black&Decker drill for $39 at Home Depot in special this week. I attached the charger to my starter. Now I have a new small dril and a starter for $40.

When Denis showed his drill and described his idea on Saturday I realized that I had a similar drill at home, and had two batteries. I never liked the slow charger that came with it, but I saw a fast charger at Walmart for $25. So, I bought the fast charger for my drill and used the slow charger as the attachment to the starter the way Denis did. The battery latch doesn't work with the slow charger, so I added a small aluminum bracket.

There is also an 18V battery available, but I don't know if it will fit the slow charger.
