what I would love to see is a standard battery fitting, i.e. interchangeable between all makes of tool. doubt that will happen anytime soon though.

There was a safety alert for these batteries sold in the US last year - overheating on the charger. Watch you don't buy old stock

Battery will fit One+ but the One+ charger will not charge these batteries.

a tool shop spammed another forum i am on stating the faulty batteries where sold in canada and was quite a small batch

Just a quick note to let you know It was a particular batch that got recalled in Canada and has nothing to do with the ones produced for the UK market.
Please let us know what you think

in case its relivent it was from cbs powertools

just googled and they have it in at the same price

Question is, are Ryobi no longer just 'light to medium trade'?
