Child's Power Wheels + Makita drill battery


Later in the Twitter thread (click the blue bird to read it) Mama B. says her husband hooked up the Power Wheels to a Makita drill battery.

She also said within minutes her husband was tearing apart his drill. That doesn't make sense because the batteries are separate. No need to tear apart anything. Just use the battery. They clip into the handle. There are usually two batteries so when one needs recharging the second is used, and back and forth they go on the construction project, like these Power Wheels. The kid will wear down the battery in fairly short time boom the second battery is already charged.

What's impressive is how fast the toy car goes. Man, those drills are strong.

If you do click the blue bird and read the thread, then you'll notice ils ne comprennent pas much about batteries. One commenter said her husband used a car battery because they last a lot longer.

Another interjects, you do know that car batteries are recharged by the car's engine.

Yeah. I knew that.

Thank you. Corrected in two places.

The batteries from my two el cheapo drills would have to be recharged twice before he got halfway to that rock. I can see where a battery from a good drill, like my neighbor has (they stay charged for weeks or months if you don't use them much), would run that little jeep all over the place.
