    Ridgid 18V power tools use lithium ion battery packs. See "Notes on Lithium Ion Battery Packs" section in the "<a href="/myink/ViewPage.php?file=docs/Power%20Tools/Battery%20Conversion/Power%20Tools%20Battery%20Conversion%20Guide">Power Tools Battery Conversion Guide</a>" page.

<h3>Craftsman V20 Battery Pack</h3>

  <li><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1153105038/diy-adapter-for-craftsman-v20-battery-to" target="link">DIY Adapter for Craftsman V20 Battery to Ridgid 18V Power Tool</a>
</ul>

<p>
The adapter above is a do-it-yourself adapter, so you will need to provide the circuitry to make it work. There doesn't seem to be any source on whether Craftsman V20 batteries have built-in over discharge protection. So you should be careful to avoid draining the V20 Lithium Ion battery pack when using it with the Ridgid power tool.

<p>
It has been <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/ryobi/comments/ulwh47/batteries_anyone_run_mainly_ryobi_tools_but_use_a/" target="link">reported</a> that the Makita batteries do have built-in over discharge protection. Therefore, it should be safe to use Makita batteries with an adapter on Milwaukee M18 power tools. But you might consider disassembly your Makita battery to ensure that there is an over discharge protection circuit.

</p>

<p>
Note that for the do-it-yourself adapter above, you will need to provide the circuitry to make the adapter work. If you have the electrical skill do make it work, it might be advisable to put in an over discharge circuitry as well.
