I have one of these and ended up modifying it quite to eliminate the Dewalt battery which I found not to hold a charge. I have no idea how many of these are in the wild, but I'd be willing to to a "how-to" post if there is interest. Basically mounted 2 12volt batteries to the tug and added scooter speed control, reversing switch and gutted the drill electronics to just have the motor drive the tug directly.

Let me know if there is interest and I'll post how it was done. The picture is a "before" version to show what I'm talking about, grabbed it off the web.
