Default 12 volt lithium battery drill/impact driver- recommendations?

I have 2 Milwaukee 12V Li battery devices. One is almost 2 years
old and the other about 6 months old. They get used a lot and the
batteries hardly get warm from use or recharge.

However, being a belt and suspender type guy I use a timer as Leon
suggested. Not that I'm particularly worried that they will
overheat. I just have an aversion to leaving anything on that
doesn't need to be on.

SFWIW, about 96-97 time line I bought an 18 VDC DeWalt drill and
panel saw kit.

After about a year, DeWalt issued a recall of the charger due to over
heating problems.

Got a new changer from DeWalt; however, never had any problems
with the original one.
