We have a 12V. RYOBI drill and the batteries are shot. Our intention is to gut one of the batteries and connect a long cord to it with a cigarette lighter male plug on the other end to run with automotive power source. Comments are requested.

I've heard that Bosch makes such a thing for their cordless tools. Probly stole that good idea off of one of you guys, and they're making money off it now ;)

I converted a 12 volt Makita battery pack by removing the batteries from the case. Since the charging terminals are part of the battery pack, they need to be removed and put back in the case somehow. Then using a 15' long heavy, flat cord, I bought it out the bottom of the case. On the end I put a 120 volt connector. On a 12" length of cord I put a 120v plug and 12 volt lighter plug. So if I need a longer cord, I can use any extention cord between the drill cord and 12" lighter cord. Of course the 120 volt plug needs to be marked "12 VOLTS ONLY".

Did that with a 12V cordless. Soldered the wires onto the strips of metal contact where the battery goes in. Put a household electrical male plug on the end with a cord of about 4 inches. Got a riding mower battery and put a female terminal on it. Put it in a Playmate cooler, fits just fine and easy to carry. Now I use any length of entension cord I need to do whatever job I have. Its very handy and I"ve yet to run out of power. You could if you were so inclined, put the auto cigarette lighter type fixtures. In fact, I have a second battery rigged that way for some aux lights during power failures.

I did that with a Porter Cable Magnaquench drill and it works just fine. I cut the pistol grip handle off just above the battery pack and soldered the wires directly to the switch. The cord came from a car to car battery charger so it already had a auxilllary (lighter) connector on one end.
