This has nothing at all to do with fishing . I'm sure a lot have a cordless drill or screwdriver with bad batteries . New batteries are obsolete or cost more than a new drill . Discard the old battery , solder on 10 - 15 ft. lamp cord , add a couple alligator type battery clips ,and you've got a drill you can power off any 12 volt vehicle ...car ,truck ,boat ,lawnmower ,motorcycle ,4 wheeler

Check on the cellphone chargers and find the output voltage and amps,I used one to run a computer fan in a incubator. cut the wires and hook them up to the drill.Just make sure you have the correct amperage and voltage output

Most of the cordless that are lithium powered use 18650 cells. Same with laptops. Crack open the battery case and replace the cells. It is much cheaper than buying a new battery pack and lets face it, if you dont have duct tape holding some part of a tool together, you arent using it enough.

6 - 14 volts will work on 12 . 18 v. would be slower .Originally Posted by wannabe fisherman

You would burn up the 6 volt motor and the 18 wouldn't have enough power to do much. Have you ever put a 12V battery in a car that is suppose to have a 6 volt battery? Starter works great for a few minutes and the head lights will light up the world for a few seconds.

True,But still a useable drill.A car battery would make it more portableBut then it's not wireless .

VWouldnt the higher amperage fry 'em?

The amperage would depend on how sharp the bit is and how much pressure you're putting on it . A 9.6 , 12 , or 14 volt .will work fine . I've got a 6 volt, I've drilled a lot of holes with it .So what if it burns up .It ain't doing any good laying around collecting dust .
