NOT NEEDED:
Ryobi One+ 18v,
Worx/Erbauer 18/20v,

I’d like to do that too. What amps/watts do they need?

Are there 18v transformers available with enough amps or would we have to make one?

I have 50 amp 50 volt DC capable bench power supply in my workshop so think I have enough grunt
I would like to use it on my MAKITA DHP481Z which I run on lithium ion batteries

So it needs to be a specialist variable supply?
18v tool batteries tend to charge to at least 20v which is why some advertise 20v powertools.
If you set your power supply to 18-20v I assume that it will tell you how many amps it’s drawing?
Is there a similar power supply in the space which would reveal the current requirements?
