Official RYOBI response to their Li-Ion battery
This was the conversation I had with Ryobi when I was informing them about why I was frustrated with my batteries that won't work anymore. Guess I'll be looking at Ridgid from now on. Comments 2014-04-21T23:59:23-04:00 I would like to say that I am extremely disappointed in the One plus Li-Ion batteries that I have.

It's the same with the big European tool supplier Berner. Their 14.4V and 18V lines are rebadged Milwaukee. While both their 10.8V line and 36V lines are rebadged Bosch.
Previously Berner's 14.4V and 18V lines were rebadged DeWalt XRP stick battery tools. But when DeWalt switched from XRP stick batteries to XR slide-in batteries, Berner switched supplier from DeWalt to Milwaukee. So they have been shopping around quite a bit, having at least both DeWalt, Bosch and Milwaukee as supplier.
