A year or two ago I wound up calling manufacturers asking if they had
any battery powered drills that could use a Pb 12v car battery. They
all said no
saying the low impedance would burn out the motors. I was surprised
given the current capability of NiCd. Now the Li are on the scene.
Anyone heard of a drill capable of using the car battery?
Anyone used a car battery with a drill?

Since you are willing to put up with a cord, why not use a 115v drill
and get an inverter for the car.

IIRC,Hitachi used to sell a cordless drill that had an option for a
belt-mounted battery pack,with a coil-cord to the drill.
