the power tour facebook page has people bringing their 18v drill batteries to jump start their cars..

just picked this one up because it was on sale. curious to see how it works... looks nice, great case and all.. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085HCWD8T/?tag=fabo03-20

The drill battery comment got me thinking. My Ryobi has a 4 amp hour 18 volt battery. 4 amps x 18 volts is 72 Watt hours. 72 x 3600 (# of seconds in a hour) is 259K joules (watt-seconds). That is about 2.5 times more energy than my jump starter.

If you made an adapter to connect some big wires with clips to your drill battery, you might have a jump starter for about free. That is if it can put out enough current fast enough. From the Power Tour comment, sounds like it is possible.

I am going to have to try this....l
