For years I would leave a cordless drill on my boat just so I would have it
handy while underway. Every time I ever needed it either the battery was
not charged or in need of replacement. Finally one night at anchor I took
the drill apart and soldered (butane) a pair of wires on it with a lighter
plug so I could plug it in an accessory outlet on the boat. That was over
ten years ago and my old drill still works like a charm. It was a 9 volt,
now 12 volt, it runs a bit faster but hasn't burned out yet. I would think
the same would work for a 18 volt drill since the battery voltage drops
quickly under load anyway. Nothing like a 100 amp hour battery for your
drill!

Sniff, sniff. If they made it for the 18V, I'd buy it in a heartbeat!
