I’d rather go Ridgid or Kobalt for the money, then you get those nice warranties.

Nice adapter if I want to work more than 10 minutes.

> mains, less power
LOL, the adapter is 2000 Watts output power.

You might actually have to work a days work instead of the 10 minutes on, 4 hours recharge schedule on your cordless toys.

The days of tesla, EVs, and cordless tools are over. Let’s face it, they were always gay,

That’s about the same as good batteries, which definitely don’t take 4 hours to charge.
(I wouldn’t mind a Bosch mains adapter if they decided to make one though…)

I have this charger. 4 hours would be generous, from dead it’s probably more like 8 hours but I’m sleeping. I have woken up in the middle of the night (like to puke or something) but checking the charger to see if it was done never occurred to me.

How come the first battery says “5.5 Ah” on the graph, but clearly says 8.0 Ah on the actual battery?
Are those Ah like “dewalt volts” and “penis inches” measured from the back of your neck?

If you tried to pull “up to” 2000 watts out of that pack, it would be done in 3 minutes.
It would also melt if the protection circuitry didn’t stop it.

The 5.5Ah and 8Ah are almost the same (same size, same weight...), the 5.5 Ah version basically exists due to air transport limits (the "normal" limit is 100Wh and a 18V 5.5Ah battery is 99Wh).

I have no experience with Ryobi chargers but my Bosch ones are pretty quick (GAL 12V-40 and GAL 18V-160), see pic for the 18V ones.

From a quick look at Ryobi's US website it seems that you have their slowest charger, their good ones should charge that 2Ah battery in ~30 minutes.

you knbow the battery is easily swappable on cordless tools

[Anonymous No.2905910]

> 99 Wh
LOL.
Reminds me of why we have a plethora of 49cc engines, since “laws” and stuff kick in after that.

Might as well just buy hercules from harbor freight. At least they will have a longer longevity.

Why are there so many chargers and batteries?

[Anonymous No.2906137]

>>2906134
First three batteries are the older ones with 18650 cells (2/4/5Ah), the other five are the newer ones with 21700 cells (tabless for the "18V+" 8Ah) in 4/5.5/8/12Ah; as mentionned previously the 5.5Ah one is mostly a gimped 8Ah to comply with air transport regulations (there's also a 6Ah one but I think it's only sold in North America).

Chargers-wise:
- bottom one is a slow 2A charger (might be included in lower-priced kits for example but can otherwise be ignored),
- a 3A one that can charge both 12V and 18V batteries,
- the regular 4A charger,
- a fast 8A one that can hold 6 batteries (but charges them sequentially, not all at the same time),
- the previous 8A fast charger,
- the current 16A fast charger.

Unless you have to, charge at the lowest possible current you can afford, time-wise.
Cells designed for high discharge/charge sometimes have ⅓ the cycles available in the lifespan of the battery. That’s intrinsic to the cell design… it gets even worse if you actually charge/discharge at the highest rates repeatedly.
This has been the rule across all battery types for over a century now.
Get a big enough battery pack and a small enough charger that it won’t heat up with charging or using it in a typical application.
