It would be odd that the "kit" isn't eligible, considering battery + charger kits have always been eligible for LSA in the past.

3-year limited warranty on the battery per product page
NOT LSA seemingly.

The 9ah capacity is awesome for the higher drain tools.
But not sure I ever thought to myself, geez I wish my power tool batteries had bluetooth capabilities...

If you, or anyone, finds out otherwise please let us know.

The page does say 3 year warranty which really kills the deal for me. I mean, they tout their lifetime warranty... so I'm going to hold out for that. It makes me wonder why they wouldn't with this new powerful battery.

@ $149 VS just the sander for $149.

And this has LSA.

I'm still waiting for Ridge to make a tool worth lugging around a 9ah battery. Such as a real leaf blower, or string trimmer, or hedge trimmer. That battery would be HUGE on and hand power tool and throw off the weight balance on things like drills and drivers.

I've got the Ridgid 18v miter saw. I'll bet a 9ah battery would be great on it.
