Ryobi Battery Charger - 18v battery, lithium-ion


I have mixed feelings about the two 18v batteries I bought to replace the Ryobi batteries that were included with the charger in a 7 power tool package that I purchased 5 years ago. I'm happy enough with the batteries but I think the price is exorbitant. One week after I bought these on Amazon I discovered that Home Depot had a Ryobi 2 tool combo with 2 batteries and a charger for less than I paid for the batteries. I realize Ryobi must practically give the tools away in order to lock customers like myself into the dilemma of either throwing away perfectly good tools or paying the incredibly jacked-up prices for the batteries every few years. Same dilemma coincidentally occurs with replacement razor blades, automatic tooth brush heads, and numerous other products. Can't help thinking that in the last 30 years, corporate marketing strategy has been taken over by lawyers. 18.00V, 1500mAh,Ni-Cd,Replacement RYOBI Power Tools Battery for RYOBI CID-1802P, CTH1802K, FL1800, HP1802M, MS180, R1063, R1073K2, RJC180, SS180, Compatible Part Numbers: 1322401, 1323303, 1400672, B-1815-S, 1322705,130224007,130256001, - Lithium-ion - 18v Battery - Ryobi 18 Volt Battery - Battery Pack'
