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?

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.

Really?

Anyone wants to become a millionaire?

It could be the next iteration of the cordless,
brushless [insert more here] power tool
revolution!

I am envisioning a "inside hammer" and an "outside hammer".
(The outside hammer would be the more expensive choice, of course :-)

Commercial Pro vs home shop

The batts are all different sizes right ?

Do batts fit into handle ?

Don't go trying to sell me an "inside" shovel.

When you buy nails and screws and the like
sometimes it says outside on the box.

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 ?

I think the five different batteries will work
with any (of those) tools. 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.
