Battery for Ryobi... BS-1815 ?

[Malakym]

Anyone know where you can get one?

I cant even find a similar one by searching for it, not even other images of it - so I had to take one of my own...

any ryobi one plus will do if its a clip on battery
if its a slide on battery then your better going for a knackered one and having it re celled as a battery older than 5 years is on its last legs if well looked after

ok just checked any one plus ryobi will do or the new2.4 li-ions but you will need the new charger if you get the li-ions

All the Ryobi One+ batteries look clip on to me, are there 2 types?

If you can see in my picture above, the battery I have is slide on - I cant find any example of a slide on battery for any ryobi type at all.



I did consider replacing the cells, although its an odd nicad size and I haven't been able to find any. I had considered hacking some li-ion into it (since 5x 18650 would fit) but would be awkward to (balance/)charge.

slide on batteries are old hat now not been made for perhaps 5 or 6 years now
the batteries used to cost £45 new until a year or so ago but a 5 year old nicad is likly to be near it end as it hasn't been used

i have re-celled a couple off slide on batteries using one plus battery packs the are identical apart from the battery on top has to be repositioned into the flat position

i still have at least one off the dud cell packs kicking about if its any use to you i havent checked the individual cells as i had 2 one plus batteries going spare[had 8 lol]

Hi

never used one to be honest just shop around find one that will give you1.7 or 2ah nicads

do not be tempted to buy a new battery or a second hand one as they havent been made for around 5 years
age can kill a battery just as quick as being used

48 dosnt seem that bad
you can also try googling "generic ryobi 18v batteries"
