Both are made in China.I have used Milwaukee cordless for years. Lately I have been buying Ryobi and have had very good luck with them. I heard that Milwaukee bought them but have not been able to confirm that.

I dont judge...I do like a good ridgid tool.
In hindsight I can see where that might lead to some interpretation. Probably should have stated that's my wife's favorite brand.I dont judge...
I charge my batteries and remove them from the charger. I know folks that leave them on there for weeks at a time and I don't think that's good for them. The newer batteries don't lose power when sitting idle with a full charge for a long time.I also had a DeWalt Charger catch fire went to a DeWalt repair shop in my City, the Jerk gave me a hard time replacing it. All them Chargers are Mfg. in China so you need to beware when leaving your batteries charging.
Ni-Cad chargers cannot recharge lithium-ion batteries.Even if they could, I would question if your Ni-Cad charger would properly charge them or not. If it did not stop charging even after the Li-ions were full, you will have a big problem on your hands.

Yes, they can remain on the charger but unplugged. But why not just remove the battery from the charger and set it on the shelf?There's something to this. I have a Kobalt 40V lawnmower and matching blower. The manual says you can leave the battery in the charger but not to leave the charger plugged in. So I don't.
ETA: The oldest battery is going on 5 years and still holding charge well.
I'm pretty sure my old Rigid 18V and new Milwaukee 12V says it's OK to leave on the charger. I'll have to check but I normally don't leave them that way much more than overnight maybe.
With lithium ion batteries it's also best to not store them (when unused) in extreme temps either way. I keep mine in the house.
That’s what I do. I thought that was just weird when I read it.Yes, they can remain on the charger but unplugged. But why not just remove the battery from the charger and set it on the shelf?
so then if they can't access your charger the information remains private?In the charger.
