Default OT-Automobile alternator rotation direction

Yup, that drill is going to be a bit warm and the arm sore. Maybe the olive oil is to
lube the bushings in the cheap walmart drill you are using.


Too many conversion and mechanical losses in spinning the 18V drill
to spin the alternator to turn it back into 12V DC. You will start
out with 2.5 AH in the drill battery and if you're lucky get 1 AH into
the car batery.


What "18V" drill?
The problem was stated with a 120VAC drill....
