If you got an old cordless drill your going to pitch in the trash, expose
the
electrodes on it and slap a power source to it --if nothing else take a 6
volt
lantern battery and jump some power to the drill. Cut up an extension cord
and
put alligator clips on both ends of the cords. Jump the voltage from the
battery to the drill. If it dont go, then reverse the wires. If that
works, now
get your battery charger and apply the voltage from that to the drill. Of
course, when you are done (playing for each session), unplug the charger
from
the wall. Have fun and get more mileage out of old cordless tools.

You can take apart the battery case and buy new 'raw' NiCd cells from most
electonics distributors and rebuild the battery systems yourself. I did this
with a cordless phone recently and am considering it for some power tools.
