RYOBI 40V Volt Lithium-ion 6.0 Ah High Capacity Battery Op40602

This battery was described as "This is a new unit that has been tested and inspected by qualified suppliers. Unit does not come in original packaging."The unit did indeed not come in the original packaging which would have been fine if it had not been one of the worst packaged products I have ever received. Which for a lithium-ion battery is a bit surprising and in my opinion negligent due to the fire risk inherent to lithium-ion batteries.As for being tested and inspected, the battery does not charge when plugged into either of my Royobi chargers. These are actual Royobi chargers that came with Royobi tool purchases. These same chargers have no issue charging my other batteries.Maybe it slipped past the tester, maybe damaged in shipping due to poor packing, definitely disappointing.Edit: I contacted the seller and they were very responsive and offered to send a replacement. The replacement was packed well, charged and worked as expected so I’ve gone from very disappointed to very happy with this purchase.

Works perfect and arrived earlier than was expected.

Se utiliza en un trimmer de baterías e hizo el trabajo con una sola carga. Muy buena y carga rápido.

I purchased two of these this RYOBI 40V 6Ah batteries in March 2023, today it is September 2023 and both batteries are no longer taking charge. RYOBI supposedly has a five-year warranty on this item, but I am still waiting for a response from their Customer Support group.Amazon skirt this issue by referring inquiries directly to the vendor.Oct 27, 2023 UpdateRYOBI informed me that they have two (2) certified vendors and Amazon is not one of them.I used Amazon's customer support portal to try to reach the vendor of this item a couple of weeks ago. To date there has been no response from the phantom vendor nor from Amazon (sorry, customer satisfaction survey request does not count as a response).As the saying goes, you get what you paid for. Purchasing discounted Ryobi items thru Amazon does not make any sense. I will not buy Ryobi products from Amazon in the future. Or maybe any items for that matter.

It works well. The battery is massive lasts a while charges great
