If you have a 9.6V drill, your original adapter must output more than 9.6V to recharge the batteries. To recharge batteries, you must apply a voltage higher than the battery voltage (when it's fully charged). So, a 4.6V or 3V adapter won't work at all for you -- you need a new 9.6V charger.

The drill battery is probable Nickel Cadmium or NiHM. the unique charger could have administration circuitry in it to chop back the present and close down at comprehensive fee. The laptop charger is in basic terms a fixed output DC furnish devoid of limiting, with the aid of fact the fee administration circuits are area of the laptop. it quite is a threat it could area-fee the drill battery, as a nominal 18V battery probable desires 20 - 21 V to realize comprehensive fee. in spite of the indisputable fact that, if the charger voltage is any bigger than the comprehensive fee voltage of the battery, the battery will overheat while it reaches comprehensive fee and would burst. that is a few distance greater secure to apply a ideal regulated charger.
