Thanks for your review. I've been looking for a replacement for my busted 3Ah pack and the performance of the various "6Ah" knockoffs was probably going to be closer to 3-4Ah - which is what you confirmed. Like you mentioned, I'm probably going to order one because not all 40v tools need the same capacity. I bought a factory blemished Ryobi 6Ah and that thing is great for the blower as it uses a lot of power. For the string trimmer, the factory 3Ah ran long enough to edge and trim my entire yard, and it was just the right weight. I didn't want to buy another 6Ah to replace my 3Ah as that would be too heavy in the trimmer.

I appreciate that and thanks for taking the time to comment. For the dollar investment, the batteries get the short projects done and ultimately that's what's needed.

June 1, 2024: A RYOBI 40 volt, 4 amp hour battery costs $180 vs a knockoff 40 volt, 6 amp hour battery that costs $60 with similar run times. Perhaps the biggest Thief is RYOBI and how they stick it to their Consumers?

Im curious whst the runtime in the blower was wity the 4ah? Also was the blower set at the hightest speed?

@imaginariumpictures 9 ай бұрын

No, the blower was not operated on the high setting. Per my real world experience the 4ah Ryobi battery operates for about 20 - 25 minutes. Thanks for watching.

I own 1 generic and has lasted more than the originals. Its true that the battery decreased the capacity but by the price is been a good buy

Always good to hear the positive. At the end of the day, did job get done is what counts. Why not do it the least expensive way.

I have the simple approach of every time I buy one of the 40v tools I get the kit with battery included. It's usually 20 to 30 more than the bare tool buy I get the better battery for the money. Buying single batteries you might as well buy a random tool with it. It'll cost about the same.

The generic batteries appear to be marked as 6ah when they are 4ah or less. If the price of the battery is half the price of the Ryobi battery one can assume it would just be better to get the Ryobi battery.

Hey mate. I can buy genuine 6ah 40v ryobi at the fleamarket for $60 a piece, open box though.

If you pay 1/4 the price expect half the capacity. An example of you get what you pay for.

Yes the batteries hurt to buy. However given the relative price of batteries at around $1 per watt hour I don’t think the price is outrageous. A 6ah 40v has about 216 watts so about 219 isn’t bad. Batteries are just expensive in general. I would personally never buy any knock off lithium batteries. There are so much to go wrong and so much potential for a fire. I’ll just pay extra for the branded version and sleep better at night.

This is not a realistic comparison. In typical tool, the power consumption is 300-500watt, which means much higher current. And because of that, the cells there need to be special to provide this current. The knockoff battery will be immediately overloaded when placed in the mower or blower tool needing 6Ah. And it will quickly permanently die after several charge/discharge cycle. My similar "6Ah" knockoff battery survived only 4 discharge cycles. Amazon should stop allowing fake batteries.

Thanks for sharing your experience, I agree Amazon needs to evaluate their sellers and products.

Ryobi is junk too. You will be very lucky if you can reach 50 charge/discharge cycle. My four batteries are dead after 3 years. I used it for a trimmer and a mower, so only few times per year.
