We already knew about AEG having a 9.0 ah battery however that model was under the “Pro” label that most likely uses the tried and true 18650 cells however we’ve now learned that AEG has a new 9.0 ah battery under the “Force” label.
The newer Force labeled 9.0 ah battery from AEG not only looks radically different than the previous “Pro” model, AEG states that the new “Force” 9ah battery houses “new more power cell(s)” using “next-gen” cell technology. Now they didn’t go out and clearly say they are using the newer larger cells such as 20700 or 21700 however with the kind of wording they used, it makes you wonder that they probably are using the larger 20700 0r 21700 cells. If true, this is great news as the larger cells are said to offer performance bumps across the board in terms of runtime, heat reduction, and power output.
AEG is Ridgid outside the USA and what’s interesting but doesn’t surprise us is that the new AEG “Force” battery has the same physically cosmetics as the Ridgid 9.0 Octane labelled batteries.
A big thanks to Joshua B. and Glenn for spotting and sharing.

The AEG Force 6.0 batteries still use 18650 cells so I’d imagine the 9.0 does too.
