So, I thought I would start over with something else. So far, the Bauer batteries are far better.

There have been a lot of issues with the Ryobi Lithiums. Myself, I had 3 go bad that were less than a year to 2 yrs old. They sent me back free replacements, but still no excuse to go bad that fast. I have dewalt Nicads that are 10 yrs old and still kicking.
