Initial Thoughts
This is a really exciting development especially for Ryobi. These new cells are a much needed upgrade to the cordless tool industry. The biggest benefit in our opinion is the ability to operate at lower temperatures which results in much longer battery life and the ability to provide much higher amp draws for high demand applications. According to Ryobi this batteries will hit the market in the Summer of 2024 and we’ll be getting some samples in the Spring of 2024. This new technology has already appeared in a few brands and it’s clear this is the new standard for cordless tools.
