Do any folks here use your drill' battery to charge up USB Devices?
I don't leave my phone on all the time and already have a portable power bank for the very purpose of giving usb devices a charge on the go.
But yesterday, I can across a youtube video of a guy that built his own connector to a drill battery to use the drill's battery as the power source for charging up USB devices.
Then looking further, I see that a few tool brands (DeWalt, Milwaukee) already have an add on that convert their common drill battery to a portable USB power source.
Then I see there's a startup from Kickstarter that is selling an add on to existing battery types (ryobi, craftsman, DeWalt, and so on) for the very purpose of using the drill's battery as a charger.
I may have to get one as a something I need but gadget I want .
