Ryobi 24v tools

Re: Ryobi 24V. Originally posted by Kanxrus View Post. They are 2. Divide the WH by the Voltage and that gives you the Ah roughly, it's not exact. Here it is taken apart.

Even though it was just a little tiny spark, it is dead! Fuel gauge says its full, charger says its full but when I put it on the tool I get the "battery dead pulse". Any idea what else I could do to "reset" this battery or am I up poop creek? I am to honest to try and exchange it Originally posted by Alphacowboy View Post.

Re: Ryobi 24V I bought one a week ago I bought one a week ago Re: Ryobi 24V I checked the 18v version, has the same thing on it.

Tags: None. Re: What Happened to 24V?? Yes, and no. There still are some available at some hit-and-miss U. And some from Ridgid themselves have come on here before, and I've been in discussion with others, and the 24 volt line-up is sitting on the fence right now ie - no new slated products, no new shipments of current product lines in 24 volt, but also no formal line cancellation either.

I and many others don't agree with this decision, but it is what it is, and things can still maybe change until it's all formalized up some day. But new releases in this line are on hold. Either way, Ridgid availability and selection at Canadian HD stores are lackluster at best.

You're best to make a shopping trip to the 'States and take a browse, or hop on HD's U. So, if you can find some 24 volt stuff at a U. I got some a year or so back, and have been plenty happy - the 24 volts really add some pizzazz to the higher-current-draw tools.

One difference though Re: Ryobi 24V I'm not going to endorse anything, but yes It will work, you will just see a shortened runtime. As far as being charger compatible, AlphaCowboy has shown that they will work. I personally think it's ill-advised to-do-so, most smart chargers are programmed to charge the specific cells it was meant to charge.

I don't know what technology is involved in either charger. If Ridgid has locked the 24v users out, and they present a near identical battery in a sister brand I would just be safe going about it. Noone want's to see a battery explode! Re: Ryobi 24V If my math is correct the Ryobi batteries are only 2.

Correct me if I am wrong. To get Ah rating you divide the Wh rating by the voltage correct? All rights reserved. Yes No. OK Cancel. Although originally Japanese, early Ryobi power tools were produced in the US, all of which came out of a lone manufacturing plant in Shelbyville, Indiana.

Ryobi jumped on the globalization bandwagon and now has manufacturing plants in over six countries. But the majority of their products are currently manufactured in China. However, the Shelbyville plant is still in operation and in production.

But this plant has been assigned for creating Ryobi accessories—not the tools themselves. They only produce electric power tools which are much better for the environment than gas-powered competitors. When they first launched, Greenworks produced a powerful line of corded electric outdoor tools targeted towards residential consumers and hobbyists.

However, demand for a cordless battery-powered line quickly rose. This led to the subsequent release of their 24V line. Like other power tool brands, this allowed the consumer to quickly switch between their drills, blowers, and saws without requiring special battery packs for each. While the 24V line is still available, Greenworks has released more powerful lines to accommodate customers that need the extra power.

Within their different voltage product lines, Greenworks has created a tool for just about every single occasion you can think of. Their power tools are still restricted to the 24V line, but the higher voltage products extend to heavy-duty outdoor tools and equipment such as lawnmowers, tillers, and chainsaws.

Unlike Greenworks, Ryobi has some gas-powered tool lines. These are primarily just powerheads with different outdoor tool attachments such as cultivators and string trimmers. But their main focus nowadays is their electric-powered options—both corded and cordless. As you can see, this is less than the voltage of Greenworks starting 24V lineup.

However, they boast a very impressive range of tools that can be operated through this system. For heavier duty equipment, Ryobi also has a 40V line.

The tools associated with this battery are targeted for home outdoor use and include chainsaws, trimmers, and blowers. When compared to other outdoor equipment brands, both Greenworks and Ryobi are relatively low cost. They both make for great budget options for home use and can be found in most big box hardware stores. Generally speaking, Greenworks is only slightly more pricey than Ryobi tools, with the difference between similar products usually being only a few dollars. As far as warranties are concerned, both brands are relatively similar.

Neither have lifetime warranties and there are multiple levels to their warranty policies. Most Greenworks products fall under a 3-year limited tool and battery warranty.
