It's a holiday weekend and a few jobs on the flat need to be done. My
trusty cordless drill turns out to be poorly. I apparently can't get a
replacement battery for it for much less than the cost of a new unit
so I searched the net for a remedy and came up with this...

My first thought is that it must be dangerous as getting between a
hippo and water, but enough people have commented to say that it works
that I'm thinking it could be worth a try. (Of course, it something
went wrong you may not be in any state to write anything).
The next problem is that I don't have a welder, but maybe a car
battery would work. Trouble is it's a 12v drill, but as the charger
puts out 7.2v maybe it would?
If voltage needs to be higher than 12 what about two small 9V
batteries in parallel?
