Oh, and one more little thing if u do end up doing this you are going to wasting batteries right and left. Good Luck
Rule 2.5 Shows both the Drill and CIM at 40A

2.5 Motor Electrical Overload Protection
When installed properly, the Drill motors and CIM motors are protected by 40 Amp auto-resetting
circuit breakers. Since the motors are capable of drawing over 100 Amps at stall torque, operating
the motors at high torque for more than a few seconds will trip the auto-resetting circuit breaker.


Also why do you state the a 12v 1/2" Drill will accelerate much faster than a 12v 3/8" drill? Usually when people refer to a 1/2" drill, they are referring to the robustness of the transmission( and housing) being greater than a 3/8" drill.
