These are awesome batteries. They last a long time compared to the standard batteries. I use a one inch auger bit for installing security cameras. It seems to last twice as long as my stock batteries. If you have one you know what I mean.

People are complaining that this battery isn’t covered by the factory warranty, and it isn’t. The seller only offers the standard Amazon 30 day warranty. The fact is, this is a good price for an OEM battery and chances are it will last a long time. If you use it on a daily basis, chances are, any problems it is going to have will happen in that 30 days. If you want the factory warranty, buy this battery from an authorized seller. If you want an OEM battery at a good price, buy it from here and take your chances. Weigh your options.

If you did not register your battery with Ridgid at the time of purchase there is a good chance they will NOT warranty them. Ya thanks for not telling me that Home Dept when I bought a combo kit. Anyway you can get these for about half what the Ridgid ones cost.

FYI: You can charge these on any Ridgid charger that charges lithium batteries. Here is one if you don’t have one.

This is a dual chemistry battery charger by the way. It will charge both NiCd and Lithium batteries, Ridgid or other brands.

Here is a two pack alternative battery if you cannot get Ridgid to warranty your non registered Ridgid battery.  Here are some specs on these non Ridgid batteries.

Genuine Ridgid 130252001 18 Volt Battery for Ridgid 18 Volt cordless drill model R84001

These are great Ridgid batteries if you want to replace the original Ridgid battery that came with your Ridgid set.  They are heavier than the lithium ion’s but they are tough to beat for the money.  I call them the old reliable.   The main reason I bought Ridgid in the first place was because of the battery life and these are what comes with the factory sets.

Replacement batteries
I was debating on whether to purchase a new set or just the batteries that all went at the same time (left in a hot shed for over a month)but decided to save some $$ and just buy the Ridgid batteries. I’ve had the set for over 5 years and am still happy with it. The new batteries are working great.

great service
The Ridgid batteries came in a very short time. They arrived in good condition. One battery would not connect to my drill, but after examining it I found a strip of plastic that didn’t come off when taken out of the mold. After removing the small plastic strip it worked great. Very good service.
