NEW RYOBI 12Ah and 8Ah One+ 18V Batteries and 8A Fast Charger

We got our hands on RYOBI's fastest charger yet. This 8A charger will charge the new RYOBI 8Ah 18V battery in just one hour. These new 8Ah and 12Ah batteries are built with the larger capacity and higher output 21700 cells. Look for these batteries and the charger on the Home Depot shelves very soon. #ryobitools #homedepot #tools

Use the 12ah in my compact glue gun :P I'm liking that charger. Thanks for video.

Tool performance can also be better with a bigger battery. Blowers will move more air, weed eaters will spin faster, and drills can put in screws with more power. As a handyman, you are many times using the tool you have in hand, and not always selecting the ideal tool for a job. Or you are at a job when suddenly, you need to do one more thing that might be beyond what you expected. In this way, knowing you can pop in an extra large battery has helped me more than one time.

I’d be interested to see how many cycles the batteries can go through before the speed charging starts to damage the cells.

Nice, love the 9ah batteries i have, mifht have to get some 12s

The 12Ah battery would be nice for someone to use like 2 in the 20" self-propelled mower if you don't want to go 40v and you already have a bunch of 18v outdoor equipment. Just 2 of those 12Ah batteries could mow up to 2/3 acre (good enough for most average size lawns with charge to spare) if they fit under the battery lid. As for the charger, 8A isn't an insane amount of amps for charging considering cell phones can charge higher and faster. That said, the charger will cause premature wear on the batteries as compared to the standard "slow" charger.

Can you close the battery compartment in the cooler with the 12amp 18 volt battery?

[dniketown]

Thank you you for the battery & charger review! However...im now interested in the tape measure as well. Lol!! what brand of tape measure are you using?

[deeeyewhy]

Really want to see if these bump the performance of the high torque impact up at all.

[ttinnovations]

for the price, I've converted most of my wood working and home yard work and flash lights to Ryobi

[JohnDoe-vjwn]

They are not cheap but not a bad price for a 12Ah and 8Ah

Thanks for the video! Those big batteries are great if you can afford them. Right now I can get 4 4AH batteries for $200 and 2 free tools. Or the 6AH, 4AH and 2AH batteries for $200 with a free brushless tool. Of course you'll have to change them more.

Hey TJ and free awesome video! Literally couldn’t agree with you more about how often the chargers are overlooked and what a difference in overall platform performance a decent charger can make.

I have been slowly expanding my Ryobi hardware and over the any years have been very happy with how they get the job done very well around the house etc and Ryobi has yet to let me down. Also thinking about expanding the batteries for use of camping (recharge devices, fans (for wife) etc.

I am wondering about this charger and is it possible to use it in a car adapter to charge the batteries?

Tim
do you know what cells are they using ?

Challenge accepted!

[Bigislandguy]

Do you have a model number for that charger?

[moeali]

Can you do a test of those batteries with the run time on the 6gal wet/ dry vac

Glad to see the charger has HP contacts in it. This way it can determine what kind of battery is actually put in--not just HP v. non-HP but should also have capacity and/or # of cells data in an HP battery, meaning it can adjust the charge current accordingly, so as not to damage lesser batteries. Or so at least is the thought. In all the press/pre-release pictures some of them showed these and some of them didn't so it was not really clear if it would have those or not. Without these this would not be possible, so nice to see them there.

The very odd thing is, with Ridgid, they decided to go for a lesser-output charger (6A rate) for their new one (and it does not have Octane/MO contacts), making an unusual situation where they produced a "higher" product for Ryobi than Ridgid. This is in spite of all the current batteries being essentially identical in terms of cells and configuration, Ridgid & Ryobi.

I would like to see the review of these batteries against the 9 amp in the impacts ..

[frog]

Does using rapid chargers degrade the battery more quickly than slow (normal charging)? Is it better to invest in more batteries and charge them all slowly? Great usual!
