I assume power tool manufacturers use commodity charging circuits, rather than trying to second guess with their own proprietary creation. > Also, not all 18650s have the same characteristics for dis|charge rates, and capacity. This is true, but I have one charger that handles them all. Not just 18650s, either, but bigger batteries and smaller ones too. It is a solved problem, and not something that a power tool manufacturer needs to try to solve again.

Having watched a few Big Clive amd AvE teardown videos of various doodads, my impression is that manufacturers have different opinions about circuit optimization. https://www.youtube.com/c/bigclive https://www.youtube.com/c/bigclive https://www.youtube.com/c/arduinoversusevil2025 https://www.youtube.com/c/arduinoversusevil2025
