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.


Yeah, that is incorrect. AAMOF you can plug any Festool battery that
will fit into a current Festool Charger regaudless of chemical makeup or
voltage.

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


This link leads to batteries with same cases and diferent chemical make
up batteries that will all fit the same tool and charger.
