Ryobi 18v HP 🆚 LITHIUM Battery Review & Test | Black Friday 2020

What Ryobi Battery packs the most power? In this video I test the 2 most popular Ryobi one+ 18v batteries, the 4Ah HP vs. 4Ah Regular Lithium. Both of the batteries are on sale this Black Friday and during Ryobi Days at Home Depot. So what we need to know is the HP battery worth the extra cost and how do they work when paired with a Brushless Ryobi tool? In this video I review and test both these batteries head-to-head on a brushless circular saw and the answer is clear....check it out to see what is the best Ryobi battery.

The one+HP does get 30% more power in terms of longevity but if that's all we're noticing then buy the 2 pack for 20 dollars less and have a 70% cut increase for 20% less money out. I appreciate all Ryobi is doing though. Great tools and battery compatibility.

You got 89 cuts from the regular battery, and you got 125 cuts from the lithium+ HP battery. But that difference in capacity has nothing to do with the HP battery or even the brushless tools. The performance difference between those two batteries is not between HP and non-HP, it's in that little "+" symbol. The black batteries that do not say lithium+ use crappy Sony lithium cells. The lithium+ batteries use much higher quality Samsung lithium cells which hold their voltage much better under load. Not many people know about that, and I hardly hear anybody talking about that. It's Ryobi's Dirty Little Secret, and why they can sell the black batteries for so much less money.

125 vs 90 = aprrox 30% more cuts. Seems to (sort of) match the claim. But 2 standards 180 vs 125 = approx 50% more cuts for 20% less money.

This is EXACTLY the test I've been looking for. You just helped me make my buying decision. Thanks for a great and informative video.

Thank you for showing us these very practical tests! Keep up the good work.

Also, you can be charging one standard while using the second. "Cut for Buck" goes to the standard batterys.

Hahaha, you were very funny watching in the beginning of the video, another good video, I agree, don't think I would pay that extra for the slight difference.

Very nice review! A basic multimeter on my Ryobi batteries didn't tell me much so I like seeing real results like here. I'm an early adopter of the 18v system and one piece of advice for anyone with older chargers is don't rely on them when trying to charge a battery. I've been able to charge batteries with a newer charger when one of my older chargers couldn't (it would flash the lights showing defective/fault). Charger itself has technology that matters.

I have 8 year old battery's that still work and charge fine. Ran fans and lights during the last hurricane here in florida. Ran all night. Thanks ryobi !

What a refreshing tool video. New subscriber!!!

Very nice. Pretty heavily and happily invested in the Ryobi line of tools for my projects. Thank you for the video

[ernestheld]

Great Video, perfect timing as I need to replace batteries and was wondering what to buy. You convinced me for the standard vs HP. Not even considering aftermarket.!!

The 4.0 ah High Performance batteries are on sale at Home Depot right now in a 2 pack for $99.95 The standard 4.0 2 pack is $79.95 For $20 difference they are well worth it. 👍

Thanks for the test, I've been wondering about this exact battery, now I know and it's a no brainer, awesome job

[sterlingbrazier]

Your video was very well done, thank you!

[TripReviews]

Hah! That was funny! The ad break came on right during the ryobi advertisement that was a part of your video was for Konalt 24 Volt tools! Lol

[joepacheco]

Awesome! You're the only one that tested realizing the two extra pins. Thanks for saving me a ton of money. Great job!

[brotherjohndavid]

thank you friend for showing us the difference of each battery. actually thought the HP would be the better long lasting pick. But thanks for your time in showing us which batery would be better in the long run. will be waiting for more videos in the future!

[johnalopez]

I totally agree with you, I've done the same thing but with the trimmer and blower, it's good for lighting also, with the 2 black batteries the timing is shorter but if you don't mind changing the batteries you'll get about 50% more time for the buck, but I have to see in the long run will the black batteries will resist like the grey batteries, that is the question ❓

[bryangrim]

You do a nice job. 👍 Was impressed by the cordless blower test too.
