To add to DaveyDubz's comment, we are pretty committed to 14.4 V because of the solar charging system used for ICCC's expedition in Slovenia [1].
Adapting the drills to take LiPo batteries is also primarily to allow the drills to be charged off-grid, but also makes the drill much less heavy for easy bolting.
I think YUCPC first came up with the idea of using external LiPo batteries [2]. The process used to adapt the Makitas is also well described here [3].
Putting aside the (fairly specific) solar charging requirements, the Cel SDS+ drills which we purchased in 2019 seem to be very good value for money. I'm sure you'll get a better quality product from some of the other brands mentioned, but it's unlikely there's something which does the job at a cheaper price point...
