Well thought out Chris, necessity is the mother of invention, I'm not sure I would have risked putting 18v into my battery but I suppose the power wouldn't have been all that high.

I guess you will be known now as "McGyver Tyler" Very Happy Very Happy

Well there was no danger - the 18 volts of the smaller DeWalt battery was 'pulled down' by the high current flowing into the much bigger car battery - we monitored the voltage across the disco battery, and it never went above 13 and a bit volts - anything up to 14.8 or so is perfectly safe and normal when charging. In addittion, the thin CAT 5 acted as a limiting resitor and makeshift fuse! - if you try anything like this, it's important to make sure the two wires don't touch each other or any other metalwork, as they get pretty hot , and the plastic coating wire insulation would easily melt! the wire will also get a bit floppy when it heats up!
