I'm guessing they got shorted; they blow faster than a fuse. The 5v usb is robust, but not the 12volt
are you using the same harness on each power source? perhaps check for continuity in your wires. only ever used the 12v jack on mine for the heated hoodie and it works fine but will be wiring up to run my flasher in the next couple days. thinking i'll use an inline fuse holder i've got stashed somewhere to protect the power source, just in case.
I have 3 harness I made up. All 3 work on the Dewalt unit, none work with the M18 units.
Why did you build your own powersource for more than it costs to buy a true Milwaukee one with a warrenty? I'm doing the same thing powering a Milwaukee Drill, Marcum Lx7, and lights on my sled, only difference is using 2 factory Milwaukee power sources
The Milwaukee powersources aren't very robust and will fail, you can build one yourself that'll source more current with greater reliability.
I also have a DIY to convert M18 battery's 18V to (adjustable output) 12V, 3.0ah
Same here.
I just fried my 3rd m18 power source, they all worked once. I'm not sending this one back to milwaukee as they will send another one and it won't work. I'm pissed because I use the m18 to drill holes, and other things around the house.
Stupid Question but what do you power with this unit ?
