There's a duty cycle on the 12V model? I didn't know that.
Doesn't get warm enough for me to notice so I suppose it'll be OK.

Probably depends a lot on the load, for example if you do some
grinding or cutting it'll draw a lot more power than just drilling
PCBs. But large mounting holes (over 3mm) start to show the limits of
the 12V drill.
