Still more disappointment from Ryobi. I asked TTI (Australia) when we might see something in OZ (or a date range... Q2, Q3 etc) and I just received a typical corporate BS response (just meaningless words saying products in countries may differ yadayada) I see Bosch have their new batteries released late last year: https://www.boschtools.com/ca/en/more/news-and-extras/specials/core18v.html Ryobi

Ryobi Australia and their retailer Bunnings both said they don't have any of the new batteries. I couldn't find anything on their websites either: https://www.bunnings.com.au/our-range/brands/r/ryobi http://www.ryobi.com.au/power-tools/products/list/accessories/category/batteries-chargers

It seems that the new battery has been released in Russia first. This is from a user comment from this previous review/intro of the battery at http://toolguyd.com/new-ryobi-18v-high-energy-battery-packs/ (see last user comment dated 19Nov).

Sure is taking a while!!

Interesting graphic. I wonder where the 2.5 and 5.0ah lithium+ sit in it?

According to the specs the battery is a P102 which is described is having 20% more run-time than a P100 (Ni-Cad) and 45% lighter. I believe this is the same description used when the P102 was first released in ?2012? so it's a P102 with no runtime/size improvements? Is this really correct?

Greetings! Is there any estimated time for the release of these new 3/6/9Ah batteries? (Our local store's Ryobi Rep didn't know of them, and there's no website update in UK/EU, US or Australia) Thanks!
