ryobi 4ah oneplus battery at last click on the battery/one+ link

when will they come here

Will come in handy for the laminate trimmer, and hey, they have a new pole chainsaw too!

That will be some serious runtime. I thought that the 2.4Ah were quite good, but yes, this will be good for things like the circular saw or grinder

most off my nicads are quite old now the origional 2ah pre oneplus branding are possibly 10 years old now the youngest are 06/6 years old even the three 2.4 li-ions are 4 years old at 08
could replace all 6 nicads with 2+4ah li-ions or should that be 1 as only two have any capacity in them although the fan lamp and radio thrive on knackered flat batteries

the new ryobi batteries are now on e bay from the states
i suspect they will need a new charger as they only have a single contact point on the center of the battery base in front off the 0ne+ logo in the top center position

this is the 1.4ah version but shows the contact clearly
this is the same contacts on a uk version with the 2 contact points

ok cheers for the correction
i wonder why they have made it different with only one extra contact

 

[pukka]

I wonder if they are using one of the other 3 main terminals for -dc maybe?

I think I still have a dead lithium battery here, if I can find it I will take it to bits and have a look.
