Some of the new electrics will drill 100 holes through 3' of ice on one charge, like this one. http://www.icegator.com/

Mine was similar to this just had a different battery and it was good for 40 - 50 holes through 2' of ice on a single charge.

Lithium Ion batteries are the only way to go however in cold weather. Wouldn't buy one unless it had a "lion" battery.
