Batteries arrived late and not in original packaging; they were simply wrapped in bubble wrap. One battery had a full charge and looked new, the other battery looked used and with different labels. It charged so, whatever. $100 is better than 240+ for a dewalt batteryCargan rápidoI use ryobi 1+ tools every day. I was having to charge batteries often, especially for the saw. With these 4 ah batteries I get stronger performance from my tools and the circular saw works much better.I bought this in April 2020. It is now March 2022 and one of the batteries will not recharge. I'm not a high usage person. My hobbies include sewing, miniatures painting and computer gaming. This battery may have been used 10 to 14 days in the last two years and then only for a few screws or staples at a time. I'm betting buying from RYOBI directly will get me first run products at the same price. These could be seconds. Bottom line: Buyer Beware.Same price as home depot but got here quicker. Charged up and used one with my super light ryobi weedeater. Worked great. It can't do what my echo can, but the ryobi the kids can handle. Made the mistake of storing my old 1.5 Ah battery in the weed eater over winter and that one ended up dead as a doornail. I won't make that mistake again. These will serve light duty in the weed eater and blower. Have Dewalt impact and drill set, and craftsman impact but I'll buy a ryobi impact if I need a third. No issues. Will update. Can't rate longevity or battery life yet.I was trying to edge the sidewalk with a regular battery and it took hours. I am not lying. I had to edge, stop, recharge and edge for 5 minutes and recharge. This battery holds a charge and I can edge the front walkway in about 15 minutes without a problem. I had to buy a heavy duty charger but it charges extremely fast. I would recommend this battery. I wish I had bought it sooner and saved my self some labor.I had the old style of Ryobi batteries and they had not been keeping a charge very well. So I went online to look for replacements. These Lithium batteries are the new style that Ryobi recommends. They are about the same size as the old style, about the same weight and about the same cost. BUT, they hold a better charge, a longer charge, they charge quicker and well, my Ryobi tools seem to operate better. The drill and saw are both running faster than they ever did on the original batteries.I am so happy to have bought these, I was getting ready to stop using my Ryobi tools, but with these new Lithium batteries, I am happy again.Fast delivery and packed good. I Purchased this to operate the cordless blower I Purchased from Amazon. Batteries keep a long charge. Can’t believe the power behind these batteries. I’m a contractor and use them every day in the rain, sleet, snow, water will not stop them, not to mention dropping them from the roof or the floor they just will not stop working.The batteries were shown in the ad packaged in a hard shell. They arrived loose. When buying expensive rechargeable batteries my concern is that they may be used or returned items that wont work at 100 % potential for me. I would feel better if they had arrived in the same packaging as per the photo.I have a Ryobi cordless kit, drill, reciprocating say, 4" circular saw and light. I've used and charged the battery maybe 5 times, and it won't take a charge. Also, the batteries don't keep there charge very long. Of course, I can't return them now. I bought the charger and 2 batteries, and I'm out 250 dollars for JUNK. I figured if I went with the brand name, I would be ok ... apparently not.I am reassessing the products that I will by from amazon.Conservent bien leurs charges même sur de longue période d'inutilisation contrairement aux produits/outils d'autres marques ... Un peu dispendieuses toutefois.ThanksWorks great
