Default Ridgid - DeWalt Battery Adapter

Can't be done.

The lithium generally use different prongs, so the charger knows what it
is charging. Lithium can not be charged the same as nicad or nimh.
Also the cell voltage is different.

You'll never see an old nicad/nimh holding lithium.

You will see a reload of the lithium with lithium.

What I'd like to see is someone rebuilding the older batteries with
the newer and lighter Li-ion technology.
