How to make a make corded tool, cordless?
Hello Helpful People,
I have a corded lawn mower (Black & Decker 19" Electric LAWNHOG™ Mulching Mower) and many of the 18v DeWalt power tools. I would love to run my lawn mower on one of my 18v DeWalt batteries. I know B&D makes a new 24v cordless lawn mower but the one I have is in great condition and I don't want to shell out another $450 just to run cordless.
My yard is not all that big and should be able to run on the 18v if I can find a conversion kit.
Does anyone know if anyone makes this? I have searched a few different keywords but not getting any of the results that I am after.
thanks so much!

It's possible, but you might have to replace the AC motor with a DC motor or use a DC/AC converter to convert the DC into 120V AC, but that would make the machine very heavy. Either way it's going to be complicated. I would recommend you keep your tool the way it is if your yard's not too big and if you don't want the mess of making your tool cordless.
