No it cannot.
Yes, an 18 volt charger can damage a 14 volt battery. This is because the wattage for the battery needs to be equal to the wattage of the charger.
How long does it take for an 18v battery to charge
Charger Output Voltage versus Battery VoltageNO, the output voltage of a charger must be greater than the rated voltage of the battery, usually at least one and a half to two volts difference.
Yes, an 18 volt charger can damage a 14 volt battery. This is because the wattage for the battery needs to be equal to the wattage of the charger.
Yes, a standard battery charger produces 13.8 volts when it is charging a battery. If you are thinking of using a charger that you plug into the wall that is used for electronic equipment, don't. The battery usually wants more amperage that they can produce and the device usually will burn out.
No.No.
According to one of the Battery Companies, you mathematically take the battery rating and divide by the charger rating. The 6v/4aH battery (6V at 4 ampere Hours) has a rating of 4 ampere hours and the charger that comes with it has a rating of about 1/3 amps output. Therefore, you would need 4 divided by 1/3 or 12 hours to charge it. Having said that, the owners manual that comes with the lantern states to charge it for 18 hours. The extra time might be that the output of the charger slows as the difference becomes less when the battery develops a charge that makes the charging more difficult to push current into the battery.

no, it will be damagedANS 2 - Actually, it won't be damaged because it is impossible to fit the battery base of a 14.4 battery into the 18 v charger.
Probably not, batteries will be damaged if charged past their rated voltage. Even if the voltages match, some batteries have special charging characteristics and should never be charged except with the unique type of charger designed for them.
The battery itself should last almost indefinitely, although the charge on it won't. That depends what you use it for. If you load it lightly or not at all, such as leaving it on the shelf, it will last quite a long time. Whereas if you load it heavily, such as to energize a parallel bank of high-intensity incandescent lights, the life of the charge on the battery will be comparatively much shorter.
