    Benefits expire 23/09/24, haha perfect timing just in time :D

    • +1

      Of course mine ends on the 15th of September. Fml.

  • +1

    2.0AH too small

    • +3

      Ive used 2.0ah in a blower, a chainsaw, a drill and a hedge trimmer and its been more than enough.

      • +4

        go the 5.0AH if you want it to last more than 10mins

        • +27

          If i'm drilling a hole for longer than 10 minutes, i'm gonna use something better than Ryobi.
          (This applies to all hole drilling)

        • +16

          Thats what she said……

        • +7

          Not sure why the snowflakes are negging you. 2ah is generally too small for most household tasks. yes, no one is stopping you to put in drill and chainsaw but can't really use for more than 15mins. Time to report the fake ghost accounts. Mostly used by flakes who can't handle other opinions.

          • +1

            @Ozsaver88: I guess it depends on the tool. But for a whippersnipper I find the 4AH battery is a touch not enough for a regular lawn (front and back), so a 1.5AH battery would definitely not work for me.

            But I guess for a quick drilljob it might be ok

          • +13

            @Ozsaver88:

            Not sure why the snowflakes are negging you. 2ah is generally too small for most household tasks

            Yet I've had one for years and never had a problem.
            I very rarely need to do things that require 15 solid minutes of full power. Drilling and cutting are usually 30 second jobs, and I can do my whole yard with the whipper snipper on a 1.5Ah battery. The only thing that sucks the juice is the leaf blower.

            Mostly used by flakes who can't handle other opinions.

            The irony of this comment…

          • +12

            @Ozsaver88: I use a 2ah (and often 1.5ah) in tools all day long. Unless it's a high draw tool the wrist strain reduction from the weight saving is huge, let alone the compactness and ease of movement in spaces etc.

      • +2

        No one is stopping you to put it in a blower, a chainsaw, a drill and a hedge trimmer but very inconvenient because of the need to charge frequently. So, it is a valid point.

    • +5

      great size for small hand tools

    • +6

      I've had the 2ah cut out on me when drilling harder materials

        • Given its 1.5Ah it'll be even worse. Neggers being silly yet again.

    • +2

      I find these perfect size and appreciate the noticeable difference in weight for quick jobs around the house. For me, I’m only using half a charge on the bigger batteries - I’d rather deplete a smaller size

    • I have seen review not only smaller Ah batteries don't last as long, they also not providing the same power as the larger batteries. Personally I would not use batteries smaller than 3Ah.

      • I believe this is a myth. Unless your battery is near the end of its life

        • Not a myth. There are more cells that can provide a higher starting load, as well as ongoing load. It’s just the basic nature of these things.

        • Not a myth - some of the high-draw tools like the circular saw don't work as well with the smaller batteries. The larger batteries have larger power output.

      • +1

        they also not providing the same power as the larger batteries.

        Correct.
        Use the battery that's correctly sized for your job.

        Personally I would not use batteries smaller than 3Ah.

        That makes no sense at all.

        There are many jobs that don't need the extra power, and where you don't want the extra weight, and where you can't fit the extra size.

        You need different sizes of batteries for different jobs, including the small ones !

        • Im looking at getting a brad nailer soon, no need for anything bigger than 2.0A and make the tool heaps easier to lift and navigate with

          Definitely have their use cases, plus you get another charger

          Ill be grabbing one 100%

    • No job too big

  • +12

    Amazingly small for the runtime.
    But the low amperage can really affect some tools.

    I find the 2AH work well on things that rely on momentum - My grinder (on softer metals) doesn't care, leaf blower doesn't care, etc.
    But things like the Rattle Gun, Drill Driver, and Chainsaw really benefit from a 4Ah or greater.

    • -4

      It's amp hours, not amps. It refers to the electrical storage, rather than power available.

      Technically though, batteries with more storage capacity do have some increase in power available, even if they nominally all 18V there is more current available. There's a discussion here.

      • +11

        I'm talking about the amount of amperage available as surge current, allowing a DC motor to maximise torque in stall scenarios.

        • -3

          OK, good. It wasn't clear from your initial comment and I thought that the extra explanation might help other viewers.

          • @realJuliusCaesar: lol I think "correcting" the original correct comment saying it should be amp hours makes it less helpful I think hehe.
            Though surprisingly to me no one has mentioned more specifically it's that typical 4Ah packs are double-stack as per your link.

            The difference in power between 1.5Ah and 2Ah packs would be negligible compared to 2Ah => 3Ah/4Ah larger 10-cell pack.
            I use the 2.5 (or was it 2.0) from some deal a while back in my impact driver though to keep it light. Only doing basic jobs not lag bolts lol.

            • +3

              @dufflover: Yeah I should have asked for an explanation rather than try to give one. My bad.

      • +5

        Technically though, batteries with more storage capacity do have some increase in power available

        4Ah and greater packs have two rows of batteries, connected in parallel, which doubles the max current. It doesn't matter much if the tool doesn't draw more than one row can supply, though (usually 15-25A for high drain batteries).

        Double row packs also self-balance better.

  • +4

    Absolute bargain if it's a 2Ah battery…
    It looks to be 1.5Ah from the OnePass weekend photo. Have you checked?

    • You might be right.

      I might have linked the wrong product.

      Added a mod note correction.

      • +3

        I right clicked on the image to save it and the filename came up as "Ryobi ONE+ 18v 1.5Ah Battery starter kit.jpg"

        • Thanks for confirming.

  • +3

    is 2.0AH enough for my toothbrush

    • +1

      you need 5.0

      • +2

        Horse teeth?

        • British teeth. Get a Gerni instead

    • +1

      Bro, do you even toothbrush?!

  • Where are the prices listed? Interested in the Ozito 18v Garden Sprayer Kit

    • Only some of the prices are listed at the OnePass Page

      The Ozito 18v Garden Sprayer Kit is $89.

  • +7

    As someone who has Ryobi gear with batteries from 2ah to 9ah and likes them, these small batteries aren’t worth it. Forget runtime etc, it’s about the ability for it to handle heat if there’s any decent resistance.
    4ah minimum to avoid these issues.

    The only use case for this I can see is for their random tools like the glue gun.

    • +2

      Or lights or radio.
      Or where a light battery is better, e.g. sanding.

    • +9

      The smaller batteries are great for drills and gardening equipment like pruners. Lightweight and easier to carry if you're up on a ladder.

    • +1

      Agree - but people above keep negging my comment re this above.

      • +4

        you need to provide context. Just posting a one liner without context/explanation will be negged.

    • +6

      these small batteries aren’t worth it

      Of course they are. If you are doing small jobs, then a small battery is cheaper, lighter, more practical and faster to recharge.
      Imagine a world where not everyone is you. Some people have different needs, and products like this suit those needs.

    • +2

      Once did 500 roofing screws with 2x 2ah batteries.
      When one went flat the other had already finished charging and was ready to go.
      And the 2ah is easier to use for longer durations then the dealing with the weight of the 6ah.

  • I'm heavily invested in the 36V Ryobi batteries. This is a good opportunity put a foot into the 18V range.

  • What’s the best snipper for tall grass?

    • +2

      A Brush cutter is best for tall grass. Otherwise a 36V battery line trimmer with a lot of elbow grease!

  • Does ot cost to sign up to one pass?

  • +5

    "OnePass Weekend is an exciting online shopping event for OnePass members." I feel sorry for the people who have to write this stuff.

  • Normal price is supposedly $49. https://www.ryobi.com.au/products/starter-kits/18v-one-15ah-…, still a good price compared to the 2.0Ah.

  • +11

    People who claim 2.0aH isn’t enough are full of it.

    It’s fine for drills, blowers, torches, hand pruners, etc. it won’t last you as long obviously, but they’re lighter and easier to use on those tools.

    • +1

      Yeah, it's a benefit being a small battery for the right tool

    • +1

      Exactly. No point putting a 5ah battery in your drill to just fasten a bunch of screws when you’re putting together ikea. Have a 2 handy when you just need something quick and light.

    • +1

      Agree. Ryobi's own pruner R18PCS112 comes with 2.0.

      Sadly, this looks like its only 1.5. Its still a decent deal as looks like RRP is $49.

      Price of 2.0 jumps a bit, at least $70. So this deal is a decent option if you just need a spare battery to fill a gap.

  • The Ryobi trimmer that I have uses 36V, 4Ah battery. Can I use this one as a backup? Will it work at all (even though it may work for a shorter time)?

    • +2

      No it won’t work.

  • Anyone using “alternative” Ryobi batteries?
    Just would like to know if it’s worth the money.

    • +2

      I replaced the cells recently on a faulty battery and printed a larger lower enclosure, 2ah is now 14ah.

      • That’s cool!!
        How hard is to replace the cels?
        I’m a DYIer but not actual previous experience with batteries, bms and so on, but I like to tinker and I do have 2 4ah faulty Ryoby batteries I would like to refurbish as I’m 100% sure not all cels done.

        • +1

          Safety firstly is utter importance with batteries period.

          A spot welder is a must, but you can solder, but youd need to be hot and fast.

          I replace all cells as a general rule, and make sure your voltages are 0.1-0.2v at most as a variance between cells.

          • @Xistn: Roger that !

            Where do you get your cels from?
            Any suggestion for a good quality/brand?

            • +1

              @danielglongo: You can get them anywhere, I'm not sure what's the current price to quality there's days

              But I use molicell p28a and p42's

      • 2ah is now 14ah.

        Huh? That's 5 rows of 2800mAh (p28a).

  • +1

    Does anyone know how long this will last in the floor dryer?

    • 9ah states upto 14hr's so prob 1-2hrs at best.

      • Still plenty enough for my needs, thanks

  • -1

    Good enough for the Mrs toys

  • +1

    1.5 AH won't last long. Probably good for small drill jobs.

    You won't get longer than 5 minutes with a blower or hedge trimmer.

    Buy a 2 x 6 AH for $100 from a battery store.

    • -1

      Will this work on my Drilldo

      • In your case, you'll probably have enough time for multiple usages of the 1.5 AH without charging.

  • +1

    Guess it’s fine for running a torch.

    • That's all mine do.

      It's like them selling the HP tool kits with a 1.5ah battery

  • The 1.5ah battery isn't bad for running the small AM/FM/Bluetooth radio, which is around the $100 mark. $135 in total for a low quality radio/bluetooth speaker?????

  • Nothing wrong with this battery, it's ideal for the smaller tools such as the staple gun, and I use the bigger batteries for the pruning saw etc.

    Not that this deal is of any use to me (not the fault of the OP!) - I have OnePass but Bunnings (nearest store about an hour away) won't deliver here.

  • +1

    For some context I have used the 1.5ah to put together over 400kg of IKEA furniture in the last week and it still has charge remaining. People saying it is useless have their own use cases in mind.

    • I think the issue is that most tools would have too much current draw on a 1.5Ah battery. So the tool itself would be underpowered, and the battery life would be shortened. Drills and drivers don't actually require much power, but most garden tools (pruners, line trimmers, hedge trimmers, garden blowers, etc) are probably not suitable.

      Personally, I plan to pick up a garden sprayer which would be fine with a battery of this size.

    • -6

      IKEA furniture? Sorry to hear

      • Oooo I bet you have many leather bound books and an apartment that smells of rich mahogany.

  • I was thinking of buying this mainly to have a spare charger for my 4aH batteries - is that bargainous?

  • online now

  • Good to pair with a Ryobi -> Dyson handheld adapter kit

  • -1

    The original price for the 1.5Ah kit is $49, just not sure if that's a good deal.

  • I have mostly dewalt tools, and keen to expand them with a different brand such as ryobi, but most of the time they come in skin only packs. Just wondering what can/ can't expect to do with a 1.5Ah starter battery kit (as in i don't expect you can put this on a battery powered mower or line trimmer, etc..) ? (currently have driver/drill, multi, angle grinder, blower from dw)

    • +1

      Just get something like this so you can use your existing Dewalt batteries https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005007715643426.html

      • That's a great suggestion! I use an adapter like this for a dyson vac to use with dw batteries and it never occurred to me you can do similar to power tools 🤭.

        Cheers to you!

  • I created the account, bought it with PayPal, immediately got refunded and received this message via email:

    There appears to be an issue processing your order, we apologise for any inconvenience.

    Tried again, same thing happened. WTF?

    • change to another store. bunnings is very different you can choose which store to process your delivery order

    • I think there's an issue processing your order

  • Is this skin only?

  • Light weight and great for secateur and drill (if you are only doing a few screws or bolts).
