Dewalt Batteries to Power Lights

I’ve seen some posts about using Dewalt batteries to power lights and other accessories in your portables, but I’m not clear on how it’s working. So I’m asking for some clear help. What do I need for an adaptor for the battery?

Then I’ve got the Otter LED Lights: https://www.otteroutdoors.com/product/pro-universal-led-light-kit/
So what adaptor do I need to hook these into the Dewalt?

Any links and photos would be really heplful.

Thanks in advance.

I use these

By cheap LED strips and run those instead of expensive lights. Also power my vexilar with them or helix 5. Never had an issue

Thanks, Jake. I’ve already got the lights. Is there an adapter to get to plug those in to this battery adapter?

They have alligator clips? there is a DC output on these adpaters. The ones I bought came with a DC power cord and then a DC power plug that i attached pigtails to.

Look at this… https://www.in-depthoutdoors.com/community/forums/topic/using-dewalt-20volt-to-power-a-graph/

be careful with some of the Amazon dewalt adapters. they will allow your battery to drain below the allowed voltage for recharging. You have to jump it then to recharge it and can ruin the battery doing that.

The actual dewalt adapter has a chip in it to not let it drain below a certain voltage.

Thanks for the heads up. I honestly have never even been close to draining a 5ah battery when running my vex on it

Would this work if I clip the alligator clips and splice the reds together and the blacks together? Or does there need to be a voltage regulator or something?
