Bauer 20V Battery Pack

The DIY adapter above is a do-it-yourself adapter, so you will need to provide the circuitry to make it work. The Bauer 20V interface is practically the same as the DeWALT 20V MAX battery interface. Since the DeWALT batteries do not have built-in over-discharge circuitry (see this thread), chances are, the Bauer 20V battery also doesn't contain over-discharge circuitry. So you'll want to consider that as you build the adapter.

Craftsman V20 20V Battery Pack

The DIY adapter above is a do-it-yourself adapter, so you will need to provide the circuitry to make it work. It's not clear whether the over-discharge circuit is in the Craftsman V20 tool or the Craftsman V20 battery. So you'll want to consider that as you build the adapter.

Ridgid 18V Battery Pack

The DIY adapter above is a do-it-yourself adapter, so you will need to provide the circuitry to make it work. Ridgid's web site for its batteries claims, "provides protection against short-circuit, over-current and over-discharge protection as well as cell balancing" in its batteries. So you'll want to consider that as you build the adapter.
