    There are hundreds of capable products out there not the least
    of which are off-the-shelf at Walmart. Every product on the
    rack last time I checked was a smart charger and I think the
    smallest was a 2A device. Obviously more robust than the
    DBTJr but if pressed into a situation where it was tasked
    with charging a 'loaded' battery, it might be vulnerable
    to smoke as well.

    Unless they're REALLY smart with current-limiting, over-temp
    shutdown, over-time shutdown, etc. it's probably possible
    to kill most tools when operated in the worst case corner
    of its design envelope.
