When I picked up Ryobi's "+1" Lithium battery, I had to opt for an aftermarket charger that would charge both types—but Hurricane Irma destroyed all my Ryobi tools.

I'll just limp along with Makita 9.6v, as too much torque will give my otherwise-unnoticed arthritis a jolt!

Anything 9V won't do much work. You might as well just use a manual screwdriver.
You need at least 18V.
