Problem would be the battery to drill connection. Unless you can by a slot
in connector that could be fitted to the drill. Ideally, I'd use an 18v
Li-Ion that fits my several Lidl tools, as I have lots. Did wonder about
butchering a charger to get the socket, as I have more chargers for these
than I need. But the battery latches into the tool, but not charger.

I suspect the easiest way would be to take all the guts out of one of
those Lidl batteries and fit them inside the Wickes battery (IIRC, the
drill was made by Krell) And do the same with the Wickes charger. The Lidl
charger only has two contacts to the battery.
