if the battery pack has a plug there should be no problem. If it's a
fancy holder then the holder will need to be modified to add a new
socket for external battery power -assuming it can be taken apart.

There are a couple of problems here MC, number one; does the
drill in question actually have a jack or does it use a removable
battery pack that plugs into a separate charger?

If it is the latter then a small inverter is going to be the
easiest solution to implement.

If the former, then you may have other problems; does the drill
contain charge control circuitry, or is it going to be necessary
to make some sort external controller, or should you just put in
a current limiting resister and take a chance on frying or drastically
shorting the life of the batteries?
