IIRC, the individual cells¹ are around 3.2 or 3.4v, so 4 would make a
12v pack, 6 for 18v, etc. Since their form factor probably won't suit an
existing tool, it's either fabricate a new battery compartment, or run a
cable to a pack on your belt or the floor. (I was going to do the latter
with a small spare 12v lead acid battery, but in the end fitted an even
smaller one into the existing battery compartment. It's adequate for the
small jobs I use the cordless for.)

A 13.8v LA charger was easier to make out of a spare plugpack than would
be a Li-Ion charger. Might have to snoop fleabay.
