I bought a set of 24 volt battery powered tools - drill, saw, jigsaw, and light - from Pep Boys 18 months ago. Allegheny Tools (China). The charger stopped working and neither Pep Boys nor Alltrade Tools (successor to Allegheny) can find me another 24 v charger. Although the battery looks standard (see picture) it will not fit Dewalt, Hitachi, Milwaukee, Ryobi, Ridgid, or anything else.

Any idea what to do? I have it outside hooked up to my 12 volt car battery charger on slow charge but not sure that will work. After one hour I have just a smidge of power in the battery but not much.

Wife threw away the broken charger unfortunately so I cannot even try to get it fixed.

Should I buy a Dewalt 24 v charger and wireclip it to my battery; that should work but is not very elegant.

Appreciate suggestions.
