I heard of a farmer taking an old 12 volt drill with dead packs and
soldering a cord to the power input and attaching to his truck battery via
alligator clips. Said it saved the aggravation of a dead drill battery in
the back forty and since it was now an extra drill he could just keep it in
his truck. Or maybe he just found a reason not to toss the drill with bad
battery packs.
