As to a car battery damaging a drill rated at 13.8 V or higher -- absurd.


Read my post below. If the motor does not turn at the correct speed, a
car battery that is capable of nearly-infinite amperage will fry the
windings in short order.

So you're arguing that a low voltage will cause too much current to be
drawn. Okay. It happens with air conditioners during brownouts.
