How to charge a battery when you don't have the right charger?
I have a Panasonic cordless drill but no charger. It has a 14.4 li-ion battery. I have a charger from one of my cordless drills that is 12v li-ion. Is there any reason I couldn't simply run two leads from the positive and negative terminals of the 12v charger to the positive and negative terminals on the 14.4v battery to charge it? Both sets of terminals are easy to get at without taking anything apart.
Thanks

Well it turns out there is a universal battery charger called a Tenergy universal smart charger . It will charge li ion batteries from 3.7v to 14.8v with 1 to 4 cells ,(my 14.4v Panasonic has 4 cells.) It only cost $22, so I ordered it. I'm still not completely confident it will work, but for that price I thought I'd try it and if it doesn't work I'll just send it back to Amazon.:)
