Scotty, I was sitting in my car parked in a garage for several hours watching your videos one after another.  So my car battery got discharged completely and I could not start the engine when I needed to go.

 I did not have any jump starting tools, so I connected the jump start emergency wires to my car battery on one side, and another side to pos. and negative terminals on 18v Ryobi removable battery from my Ryobi drill.

 And the engine started! I promptly disconnected the drill battery. Total time drill battery was connected to car battery was around 15sec

 At first I felt good about myself, but now I am worried that I might fried something with 18v going through car circuits meant for 12v.

 What do you think?

should be fine. Auto electrical systems are designed to take a bit of abuse.

Your car has onboard wifi?


Some late model cars do. Works like a cell phone hotspot.


Fancy..


No WiFi. Just kept key in ignition and used Bluetooth. That's it


Next time, just buy yourself a portable Bluetooth speaker.
