Do you think it would be possible to charge an emag with a cordless drill charger? Maybe a pair of gator clips jumping the bridge. Any ideas? Any one try it?

Possible, sure. Probable? Not so much. You're really likely to be putting a very different amperage/voltage in than the battery is expecting.

What are the amp/volts required for the battery?

Just remember that there are NO MORE EMAG BOARDS. I dont recommend it.

There is no way taht I would connect any power source to the board besides an AGD battery. But, I would connect the battery to something to charge it....

Success! I checked the volts and amps of the cordless drill charger, and they are slightly less, volt wise, and much less amps wise. I let it charge for about 45min, and now I have a good charge on my battery. It is an older battery, so I wasn't worried about damaging it (covered in rust from previous owner).
