These batteries are fun to use for “other things” - like running a kids 12v battery jeep on 18v - but the TOOL is what has battery protection; the batteries will discharge until they actually kill themselves.
If you really want to use it outside m18 tools you want something that turns off when voltage drops below 17 or 16 or so.

Is that true? Seems like a waste to have all the extra guts in the battery and not include protection for this.
> Seems like a waste
Exactly opposite from the manufacturer POV.
You are making N tools with N protection circuits and N x M batteries.
Instead of N tools, N x M batteries and N x M protection circuits.
