Pretty sure the pack is going to supply the voltage it's capable of, and I don't think the drill will like a voltage it's not designed for.

I'm not an electrician or ee or anything, but I believe supplying too LOW a voltage can result in a device drawing more amps than it's designed for in order to reach the desired wattage. This can result in overheating and failure.

If you supply too HIGH a voltage, I think this can push too many amps, also resulting in overheating and failure.

Or, more likely, the drill checks the voltage and will refuse to work. I think.


Anybody smarter than me around to correct me?

or i destroy my drill.

ok, so i need to suck it up and go for a 20v lion.

when i bought this last drillset it was > $200 and i remember being frustrated that there wasn't an LION option at the time..i knew damn good & well the NIMH/NICAD shite would die over time.
