More battery news today, a big thanks to Tool Craze Facebook follower Joshua B. for spotting a larger capacity 5.0 ah 40V battery for Ryobi’s 40 Volt outdoor power tool line. This battery was spotted over on the Home Depot’s website. Unlike most recent news, there’s good news in the fact that these batteries are available here in the USA and are available for sale now on the Home Depot website.
Ryobi 40V cordless outdoor power tool users will benefit from longer runtimes than what they’re currently experiencing with their current Ryobi 40V batteries. And just like the current Ryobi 40V batteries, it carries over the built in fuel gauge to show you remaining battery life.
Pricing is $139.00 per the Home Depot website at the time of writing this article. This brings it $40 higher than the 2.4 ah 40V Ryobi battery they have listed for $99 but you will theoretically get a little over 50% more runtime per charge with the new 5.0 ah battery.
