If its all you can afford, don't try to drill 30 holes a day and go every weekend.
It works in a pinch, dont make it your go to setup! Hindsight would dictate that buying a decent used gas auger would have been much cheaper! I ended up buying a new drill, and and good used 8" gas auger.
Fool me once....

Buddy, are you sure it was not water damage that ruined your drill. It is kinda hard to believe that a 6 in drill burned a Milwaukee. I agree it is hard on the batteries, though. I guess a good warranty will take care of that. Ridgit drills come with a life time warranty that covers the batteries too.
