Step-by-step instructions
Map the tools, chargers, outlet, and studs
Inventory charger sizes and battery clearance. Sketch a station no wider than the available wall bay and leave ventilation space around chargers and power adapters.
Cut and mark the French cleat
Cut a plywood back, shelf, charger cradles, and French-cleat pieces. Break sharp edges and mark every charger position before assembly.
Fasten the wall cleat into structure
Assemble the station square, using glue and screws appropriate for the panel thickness. Keep the power-strip bay accessible rather than burying it behind a fixed shelf.
Build ventilated charger shelves
Add adjustable drill cradles or simple bottom ledges. Route cords through rounded or grommeted openings so insulation is not pinched.
Route cords and label each charger
Fasten the wall cleat into verified framing or appropriately rated masonry hardware. Never rely on drywall alone for a loaded station.
Hang modules and test the load
Hang the station, confirm it seats fully on the cleat, and add a retaining lip if the design can be bumped. Plug in chargers with manufacturer-approved power arrangements.
Step 7
Load batteries and tools gradually, checking heat, cord strain, and wall movement after the first charging cycle.
Disconnect power before changing the station wiring or power strip. Do not cover charger vents, overload a power strip, or mount the station to uncertain framing. Follow each battery manufacturer’s charging guidance.
