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 |

I don't believe I have ever owned a tool marked "outside" and unless you plan on working in a cloud burst, which few people do, I can't see any reason for owning one. -- Cheers, John B. |

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 |
