For those who do not want to click the link. It is an adapter that lets you attach a Makita tool battery to an electric starter.
It is out of my price range. 40 bucks for the adapter, and you still have to buy a Makita 18 volt lithium battery and charger.

I just saw one in use yesterday, looks very nice and slick. The guy who has it has a ton on the 18v batteries for his tools, so he just uses those batteries. I may have to get another drill with one of those lith batteries.

Might not be such a bad deal for people that already have the battery and charger for their other tools.
You can hook up a couple of 3000mah 7.4v NiCAd packs in series (the ones used for RC cars) and get about the same effect.

PS: Some of the tool manufactures are offering a Life Time warranty on the 18 volt LiPO batteries too.

It is one of the slickest easiest starter systems that I have seen. I agree that there are other systems, but if you have a drill with the battery already it looks good.
