Some low draw tools don’t even listen to the battery because they can’t draw enough current to damage it.

What does happen is the battery has electronics inside the cell, anything from a thermistor to a microprocessor monitoring all the cells that will communicate with only that brands tools and tell the tool to stop running if there is a problem. You can basially arc weld with the batteries and they will keep giving current until you either melt down the li-ion cells or melt through the wires or contacts. There is no battery that I know of that doesn’t connect the cells directly to the terminals – except for Flexvolt which has a mechanical selector switch for 20V or 60V. (And even in that case, you might confuse the coulomb-counter in the board, if present. Of course do NOT use these adapters for charging! Always use the native charger, unless you have your own balance charger and know exactly what you’re doing.

It’s still prudent not to run something all the way until it stops – when you hear the tool slowing down, stop right there and recharge the battery! (The 12’s not so much!), and of course the NiCd don’t care what you do, so I consider it safe to intermix every which way. I believe all the 18v lithium batteries have a protection board in 'em.

I’ve gutted the cheap Ryobi battery-cap chargers (the P111 and there’s one other whose number I don’t know) and the P150 battery-gauge, to bring out the power contacts to run stuff like my TS100 soldering iron, a series of LED lights, and yes, another gutted DeWalt 18v battery so we could run my buddy’s DeWalt radio off my spare Ryobi batteries. It moved the center of gravity back a bit too, which was welcome on an otherwise-nose-heavy tool. I made a simple adapter by chopping up a scrap Ryobi flashlight to get the battery socket, and grafting it into a gutted Black&Decker battery, to allow my dad’s B&D weedwacker to run from his Ryobi batteries. All the parts are on Thingiverse, just gotta combine 'em and print one… I wish SOMEone would make an adapter to use Ridgid 18v slide batteries on Ryobi post tools. Of course these work in other Ryobi 18v tools, too.
