Cheng Liu Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 That sucks man. I guess I just got lucky. I have used Ryobi tools for years now and my batteries are fine. I will say that I don't use them all that much though, but they have worked just fine when I do use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 I think Ryobi had a bad batch of batteries. I had 4 of them go bad over a winter while I wasn't using them. The 4 replacements are working fine now though. These were pre 4.0ah battery packs though my new ones are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captconch Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 I had to go out and buy 2 new batteries to replace the dead ones and noticed that they have a 3 year guarantee. Now if I could only find the receipts for the 2 dead batteries I might be in luck getting free replacements. The new ones I bought were the compact Lithium+ that are supposed to have 35% more run time than the others. The cost a lot, but an additional 35% run time is nothing to sneeze at.

Andrius Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Ryobi is a cheap line of TTI company so they don`t must to last long Ryobi have batteries problem, Milwaukee have fual circuit boards problem, I think they will fix all that in time...

Vgregory6 Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 I've used ryobi tools for the past three years. Your battery was probably to hot when you tried to charge it. You know, like it says in the instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original Japanese Ryobi has 3 different tool lines, a blue entry-line, a red DIY-line and a green professional line. I just checked their website and as the first thing I checked out their brushless hammer drill and immediately recognised it as a rebadged DeWalt DCD795. Funny how Ryobi sold the American rights for the Ryobi name to TTI, and then went to one of Milwaukee's fiercest competitors to buy rebranded DeWalt tools for their pro line instead of buying rebranded Milwaukee tools from TTI.

Madcity Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Wow how hasn't there been a class action on this crap. Who cares where it comes from. Homedepot should not be able to sell this stuff. Nothing but trouble with this jonk. New form of bait and switch. Come buy our exclusive product with a three year warranty. We dont tell you will be forced to pay ten times the price if you value you time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Ryobi drill is literally a rebadged dewalt drill, then the battery would also be a rebadge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercorarius Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 It's odd some are very clearly DeWalt While others are Hitachi looking batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it stands for Brushed Percussion Drill. I was talking about the Ryobi naming, and it doesn't stand for Brushed Percussion Drill, since it's a brushless drill. It even says BL motor on the side, where the DeWalt says XR. But I think you are right about P for Percussion. It turns out all the Ryobi cordless tools starts with a B, both brushless and brushed. So it probably means Battery Percussion Drill.

HiltiWpg Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 FYI, TTI licenses the name Ryobi in North America. It's not the same stuff.Edit:Just saw someone else mentioned this.[emoji26]Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only their 18V line that's rebadged DeWalt tools. The other is only 14.4V. The battery looks a bit like Hitachi, but it's not the same. So maybe they made these themselves.

BMack37 Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 It's also possible the Ryobi batteries it Black & Decker or Porter Cable but not Dewalt without modification. I believe Craftsman works on PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I have tried to use both both a blue Berner DeWalt XRP drill and the blue Berner Milwaukee drill as I know people who have both lines. Berner's current cordless power tool lines: http://shop.berner.eu/dk-da/dc/17218531-akku-vaerktoj/ Berner 10.8V Bosch Berner 18V Milwaukee Berner 18V DeWalt XRP (discontinued) Berner 36V Bosch The same with Würth. Their 10.8V, 14.4V and 18V lines are Bosch, while their 28V line + 18V application gun is Milwaukee: hhttps://eshop.wurth.co.uk/Product-categories/Cordless-tools/31085001.cyid/3108.cgid/en/GB/GBP/ Würth 10.8V Bosch Würth 14.4V Bosch Würth 18V Bosch Würth 28V Milwaukee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwain Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 And as we know, FEIN rebadges some Milwaukee tools too in their 18V line. In Australia, we have AEG to your Ridgid and Stanley to your Porter Cable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same here in Europe with AEG and Stanley. TTI has paid for the rights to use the AEG name (for power tools only), just like they have paid to use the Ryobi name. Swedish home appliance giant Electrolux owns the AEG brand and still use the AEG brand to market some of their whitegoods and vacuum cleaners. Also Mafell rebadges some Metabo tools. Festool rebadges som Mafell routers. CMT rebadges Triton and DeWalt routers. Bauhaus rebadges some Wera screwdrivers for their house brand Wisent. Honda rabadges EGO Power+ outdoor equipment. And so forth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Knipex rebrands Witte screwdrivers also. It's not terribly uncommon in other industries; Apple is suing Samsung but Samsung still supplies parts for Apple to build their phones/computers. Pioneer's TVs are super high end, most people don't even know Pioneer makes tvs...well they don't, they're rebranded Sharps with customer software. One thing was annoying was in hockey equipment. There was a fantastic brand of hockey pants made by "Tackla" well Tackla ent out of business but not before selling distribution rights. In Canada the rights went to Vaughn, who made the pants in Canada to a super high level. In the US they formed the Tackla pant company(or something) which used the design but cheaped out on the materials and QC by sending them overseas. So then you have two very different items separated by an invisible line, but cost the roughly the same and neither could be shipped across the border by any retailer. The other thing that is funny about Vaughn is that they were started by Ross(I forget his last name). He ended up growing the business and getting pretty good marketshare in the NHL, later he ended up selling the company to an investment group. After his non-compete was up, he started Eagle. He basically used the same design but advanced it in materials and design, again his company grew and got a pretty good following in the NHL. Some of his employees split off to form MIA(Made in America) which gained a following in the NHL and was later bought by Warrior Hockey, now making them one of the most popular gloves in the NHL. As Eagle was now declining Ross sold Eagle to Vaughn, the original company he started and sold. So he essentially sold the same company to the same people twice and spawned three successful businesses producing essentially the same product. /Most off topic post ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmartini Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Just had my first Ryobi lithium battery pack fail. Not sure how old it is but I hope this is not the trend. Fell in love with their performance and bought five of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
