Someone gave me a 9.6V cordless Ryobi drill for free. The only catch was that they lost the cord to the charger. What voltage should I run to a 9.6V NiCd battery to charge it? How would the voltages differ if I intended to charge it rapidly or charge it over night?
(I have a universal AC adapter that I've been using for a keyboard ever since I lost its own adapter, so I can choose from 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5, 9, or 12 volts. If it's really important, I can probably make something in a different voltage range.)
I have it sitting on 9V right now. Can I ruin it by attempting to charge it too slowly?
