I think you could probably use them if they would fit, but I would expect that 
manufacturers would make the ends a bit different so one voltage system 
wouldn't interchange with another voltage system.

You could always buy another battery on ebay, or take apart your dead one and 
buy new cells at radioshack or wherever.  I have a cordless shaver and cordless 
trimmer that both are pretty old.  I've replaced batteries in each one by 
taking out the old battery and matching it up at radioshack, then soldering in 
the new one.

I have a new Ridgid 18V drill w/ LiIon batteries.  The original batteries are 
worthless.  I've thought about opening them up and rebuilding them, but I'll 
probably mail them back to Ridgid along with a complaint letter and hope they 
will send me new ones.
