The BEST portable HPA compressor EVER! a GX CS2 taken to all new heights.

IT’S FINALLY HERE! The GX CS2 Hybrid is born! To my sensibilities this project is MUCH better than a GX L2. Better battery, better charger, runs in more situations and if you already have DeWalt Lithium tools, much cheaper to boot! I had a lot of fun developing this build and I am really pleased with how it worked out. I made some mistakes along the way, they were just opportunities to learn, so you all don’t need to make the same mistakes I did. This is the portable "Tool Battery" based HPA compressor GX should have developed IMHO.
Better rarely comes cheaper, yet here it is! Send me some photos if you build one yourself, I’d love to see it. Let me know in the comments below what you think. For my money, this is now the absolute best value in a 12VDC portable HPA solutions for your valuable PCP airguns. You will need some basic hand and power tool skills, but you should not be intimidated, it was fun and easy to build. If you have not gotten a GX CS2 yet, you need to, links to those below too! Don’t let me have all the fun, jump in! Schematic available as a pdf on the Target Forge Website, look in the documents section. The handle delete part is also available as a 3D file for printing, or as a ready printed part.
