I'd like to hear from anyone who is having success charging
the batteries for a cordless tool using an inverter in their car.

Especially if they are using one of the less expensive inverters
that does not produce a true sine wave.

I charge batteries for my Sony camcorder, and still camera with no problem
using a 400 watt AC Delco el-cheapo inverter. Also use it to charge the
battery in my laptop.

I always wondered what would happen if a 12v tool battery was hooked
right to the car battery?????

LOL! If it's dead or near drained, lots and lots of heat and who knows what
else? Don't do it! Or at least wear protection when you do. Most likely
scenario for a mostly discharged battery is going to be a dead battery (not
the car, the other one). It won't hurt the car battery or system.

Smoke? Fire? Exploding batteries?

Put the appropriate resistor or some other current limiting component
in series and it would charge them.
