I have a DeWalt battery charger model# DW9107. Which batteries can I charge in it? It says 14.4volts
I have a DeWalt hammer drill model# DCD950B. Will the battery for it, DC9096 work with my charger? It says 18volts.

@WarLoki is there a more appropriate StackExchange to ask this question?– PangeaCommented Sep 1, 2015 at 22:57

From DeWalt support:
Unfortunately it looks like the battery charger will not charge a 18 volt battery that will work with the DCD950b. The charger charges up to a 14.4 volt battery and the DCD950 will take a 18 volt battery. The battery and charger you will need for the DCD950 is Charger 388683-12 and battery DC9096.
FYI, I tried the same thing. I have a dw9107 charger, and the 18v battery won't fit. I modified the battery casing a little and it charged the 18v battery just fine. I don't recommend this as I'm sure isn't recommended by Dewalt! just a little personal experience. 14.4 is only 3.6v from 18 so what the heck it worked.

These are NiCd batteries, so the worst that would happen is you might trash the battery. Don't try something like this with Lithium batteries; the worst could be a serious fire. Commented Apr 13, 2016 at 11:09
