Have a new Ridgid 18 Volt LI battery powered hammer drill. Does Ridgid make a DC powered battery charger for these batteries. I have this type charger for my Dewalt tools and it is very handy to recharge using the truck battery.
Appreciate any info such as model # and cost.

Thanks.

They don't make one yet unfortunately. You'll need to get a small inverter which is still cheaper than buying another charger.

If all of us keep begging maybe sometime they will make one. I would like to see a multi Volt model so you can charge up all Ridgid batteries including the Ni-Cad ones. It could either be a "smart" charger and fully automated or it could have selector switches. I think there would need to be more than one bay, but big deal. Keep begging everyone as I do hope to see this come out soon.

Until then, the small DC-AC inverter should work.
