Ryobi tools batteries
Speaking of the Ryobi cordless power tool
chain, I see there are no less then five different batteries! All are 18V Lithium but the Ah's are 1.3, 1.5, 2.5, 4.0 and 5.0. What does that mean? Do you get more power for a single drill or cut or whatever or can you just do the same thing more times before recharge? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

Another question, in the manual it says "for
indoor use". What does that mean? The tool can't take rain? Or cold? Or damp? I'm planning to lay a tin roof above part of the area so one can be inside and outside at the same time. Surely the tools won't break from use under such a roof? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

THE TOOL requires a definite specified power source as 18 amp and only 18 amp.
I assume the physical amp size only fits the spec tool amp size. Dell laptops charger's n input side electronics n I assume all others ID each other as strictly compatible. No mix n match. indoor use means use indoors or gently outside on a nice day never get wet. a weenie tool. construction tools are not described as 'indoors'. But language n environments differ so maybe the tool is a 'shop tool' use a shop tool for the roof. maybe, maybe not, good luck. now where do I place the swiss table saw ? |

All batteries are 18V Lithium but the Ah's are 1.3, 1.5, 2.5, 4.0 and 5.0. So I think they have the same power and interface, thus works for all, but the "Ah" (Ampere hour) unit seems to suggest the longest use before recharge for the 5.0 Ah version. Yes, that must be it. indoor use means use indoors or gently outside on a nice day never get wet. a weenie tool. construction tools are not described as 'indoors'. Right, actually I read the manual only *after* buying the tool! Had I seen that remark I would have bought the outdoor version. Indoor only... c'mon. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

One has to wonder tho why there are *five* batteries? One light and small and one heavy and big I understand. Yet another one in the middle? Fine. But five? Can there really be a size/weight advantage anyone would ever notice with the 1.3 version compared to the 1.5? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

Ha ha, some guy cannot afford the 1.5 Ah battery - so he settles for the 1.3 instead! (Tradera and Blocket are like eBay only much smaller I suppose.) -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

The larger one is pricey so I settle for the smaller Ryobi Li-Ion and just switch out. Charging is fast, around 1.5-2h. I guess if you are a contractor or you are building a complete new house you'd go for the biggest version. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

Do you get more power for a single drill or cut or whatever or can you just do the same thing more times before recharge? I was a contractor and used Ryobi for many years, they are a good tool and priced right. You can buy two Ryobi for the price of one the others and they for the most part would last just as long. Now with the batteries, get the largest amp size battery available! The smaller batteries are not good for contractor work they run down too fast and they don't hold up to real work, they may be good for simple light work. Only use the charger for the battery type as the other will ruin the battery. As far as where to use the tools, you can use them outside just remember none of these or other contractor tools are water proof either. I've used mine in the rain but working in the rain is not too smart or ideal and can be dangerous. Good luck on your project! -- Ride fast, ride hard, ride for health and enjoyment...

I wonder if that would consume too much energy for the same battery system or if they just don't have it. As you say charging is fast and changing batteries even faster... -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |
