That proves the generator is ok. But as you said, the drill isn’t even close to turning it fast enough. It will put out a small voltage at drill speed, but in order to produce enough voltage to close the relay and charge the battery, the outboard needs to be turning 1500-2000 RPM. That’s crankshaft speed. Because of pulley sizes, the generator is turning much faster.
