Is this true? *and if so, can you charge the B&D batteries with a
Dewalt 1 hour charger?

Anyone know for sure?

Thanks,

I have B&D and DeWalt 18V drills and the batteries do NOT fit each
other's chargers. The outer cases are similar, but not the part that
plugs into the charger. Other models may be different.

If they are both NiCd or NiMh batteries, you can use the other charger
with the appropriate jumper cables. Keep an eye on things the first
time. If the battery pack gets hot, something is wrong!

I thought my B&D batteries were dying at one point - wouldn't hold a
charge. Turns out it was the AC wall-wart that was dying, not the
batteries. Got an appropriate wart at the surplus store, cut and
spliced the wires, and everything is good.
