I have a Rigid cordless drill that I bought a few years ago. It's a great tool but the lithium batteries it came with died after only minimal use and replacements cost more than the drill. I want to convert it for use with AC and this is my plan for the power supply. The original battery pack was roughly 10.5 volts, and according to research I've done, the drill can sometimes spike up to 20-30 amps during startup. I'm only a novice when it comes to electronics, so I have no idea if what I have planned here would actually work in the real world. The numbers seem right to me, but i realize this is only a model, and the real thing could be much more complicated. I would love to get some feedback from more knowledgeable users before I start investing time and money into a project that could be totally unfeasible. Thanks in advance to any kind folks willing to share their knowledge and experience. :-)
