I have one of those cordless drills that has a 24 volt battery. I was
wondering what would happen if I unplugged the charger from the wall,
and left the battery in it. Will the charger discharge the battery if
I dont pull it out of the charger?


Also, someone gave me an 18 volt drill that has the identical looking
battery, except the battery is an 18 volt, not a 24. That drill did
work when he gave it to me, but his charger died, and he just bought a
new drill. Can I plug that 18V battery in the 24V charger or will I
damage the battery? It does fit into the hole on the charger. I dont
think 6 volts is that much different, but it may be for the battery.

Here's a thought: Call the manufacturer and give them the model number
of the charger and batteries. I'll bet they know the answer to both
questions.


they might even have the manuals online. RTFM.

A question like that might get you nowhere as phone reps are directed
to sell products, tech support or a repair facility might get you the
real answer.
