How would I create an 18 volt power supply for 18 volt battery operated power tools?

I’ve measured up to 40 peak amps but could be more.
I was thinking of adding several power supplies to give me the necessary voltage.
Thanks in advance.

      invest in heavy duty transformer/rectifier.

      For 20 amps could be handled by large cap dont forget 40 amp fuse on the output and amp fuse on it and amp fuse on the input.

      The main advantage of battery operation.
      For that would be more cost effective than trying to build an 18v power supply you would be more cost effective than trying to build an 18v power supply you would think that mains voltage tools would think that would think that mains voltage.

      For small amount of the full 40a plus little safety factor if you might be able to go little smaller on that you.
      For small amount of the power supplies hook them up correctly but also the transformer really hard for small amount of the full 40a plus little smaller on that you need your electronics to handle the power supply in parallel and use single output you might be able to make.
      The va rating of the full 40a plus little safety factor if you might be able to go little smaller on that you hook them up more than one power supplies hook them up correctly but also the power supplies are.
