No way! Lithium Ion batteries require special chargers to prevent fire. They are very unstable and if they break down internally, they self combust. You can't even use a Nickel Metal Hydride battery charger with them. And it is a 19.2 volt battery, which won't charge with a 12 volt charger. Use the Craftsman charger specially made for those batteries.
Test the batteries with a multimeter that will tell you if the batteries are shot. You can do the same with the charger, test it with a multimeter but I don't recommend it unless you know what you are doing because you will be live testing it.

most likely you have a bad battery pack.craftsman recommends you bring battery and charger to craftsman repair location. what is the model # of battery and charger? i'll try to get you more info.
Sounds like your charger is only for NiCad batteries. With most brands, the new Lithium chargers will also charge the old NiCads, but the old NiCad chargers will not charge the new Lithium batteries. You will be very happy with the lithiums once you are able to fix the problem. As for Craftsman, buy Craftsman hand tools such as wrenches and sockets but I'd look elsewhere for battery powered tools.
