Can a C-12 or T-15 Festool Charger charge an 18v Battery?

I just got a Carvex 18v unit.  Can I use my T-15 and C-12 chargers to charge the batteries for the Carvex?

Thanks

Latest chargers are all capable for loading 12-18V batteries.
Models are TRC3 and TCL3 which is the latest model.

The Festool batteries will only physically fit on Festool chargers that are OK to charge them. Same for the tools. The batteries will only fit on tools that are compatible.

Thanks for the feedback!  Just tried the batteries and they charged fine.

Man I thought I sent them fully charged

One was charged fully.  Was cutting with the other and needed to recharge it and had an older C-12 charger on the bench, and noticed it was not the same as what came in the Carvex kit.

How are you liking the cordless version? I don't remember if I told you or not but I originally had the corded then swapped it for the cordless. First thing I noticed was the weight difference. Luckily I have a project coming up this weekend so I'll get to remember the handling difference soon too.
