Ryobi tools batteries
JQ wrote:
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! My thoughts as well... remember none of these or other contractor tools are water proof either. OK! 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!

I guess if you are a contractor or you are building a complete new house you'd go for the biggest version. Ryobi doesn't seem to have an 18V heat gun tho. 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... The Ryobi heat gun is 2000W or about 112 amps(!) at 18v. That's why they are offered as 110/230v. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

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? Longer run time is the big advantage, but you might get more power depending on the tool. 18V lithium ion batteries consist of 5 cells in series, to make the the 18V. Bigger batteries (the 4 and 5 AH ones, probably; I don't know ryobi's line well) have two sets of five cells in parallel (5s2p is the common notation). If the design supports it (again, I don't know ryobi), you can draw twice as much current, which lets you have more powerful tools. I have milwaukee cordless tools. I have a couple 12V tools (a saw and a oscillating tool) that are pretty much useless when run from a single row battery, but are quite usable with the 3s2p ones. Most of my tools are less noticiably more powerful, though. -- sig 71 |

CORDLESS is widespread among Coach n RV people
My truck tires come off with cordless lug turners. and 3 deep charge batts on the rear axle. I do not question the manufacturer's specs. The deal is finding combo....showing up at Amazon AFTER I bought the best cheap package. amazing use age no extension after 10 years beginning with a slim Port Cable drill continues to grin. |

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? The capacity is shown in Amp Hours so you can do the same thing more times with the larger battery :-) But of course the larger battery is heavier so if you are working at arm's length perhaps you want the smaller one. -- Cheers, John B. |

wrote: 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? 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. |
