Ridgid cordless tool batteries are getting larger — now 12Ah

Posted By on August 18, 2024

Ridgid cordless tools have been my “go to” home power tool Ridgid LSAchoice for some time now. If I were a contractor or tradesman, perhaps I’d pick a different brand, but for me having the Lifetime Service Agreement (LSA), mentioned previously, is the primary reason (although it is not perfect). Also, having them sold at the local Home Depot (like Craftsman Tools at Sears years ago) is another reason. 

12Ah Ridgid BatteryA few years ago, I purchased Ridgid’s largest spare battery (9Ah at the time) to pair with a 175 Watt Power Inverter and emergency iPhone or USB device charger. It has works just fine for a “short term” 110 volt backup power supply. I usually pair it with a “center of the room” lamp that uses and LED bulb … and works for at least 12 hours on a 9Ah battery. 

Recently, I noticed that the Home Depot is now offering a larger Ridgid 12Ah battery in a two pack. Nice!  If they weren’t $379.00 I would be interested and Thinking emojimight double for an eBike conversion project?
