Quote from ViperDaSnake View quoted comment :
Octane batteries are only supposed to be noticeably different when paired with Octane tools.
To be clear, all 18v Rigid batteries are supposed to work with all 18v Rigid tools.
I have the Octane saw and I cannot make a full depth cut on a non octane battery but the Octane battery makes the same cut and doesn't stall.
So would these batteries in this deal provide as much power as the Octane Batteries? Not sure if I should try to stock up on extra octanes for my Octane tools, or if the new ones are equivalent to them.

The short answer is no. But they will power your octane tools as long as you don't need the maximum amperage under a full load. I regularly use my Non-octane batteries on my octane tools.

Ok thank you. I assume that the Max Output batteries *would* provide at least the same amount of power as the Octane batteries, correct? Ex: these -- https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGI.../315320800

it appears Ridgid is claiming that these new "Max output batteries" are superior to the octane ones. I'm a bit skeptical myself but here is the source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PhDAuop2TE

How do you go through returning one tool from a combo set?
I told the gal at Home Depot the set was a Christmas gift from my wife and that I didn't need the impact wrench. It was still unopened in its original box. They refunded $88.70 for the impact wrench.

they must be separate line items on the receipt, the return value of each item is clearly stated... if it's a "kit" or single line item combo set, it can't be returned.

True. Octane line is done. That being said octane brushless with octane does create some more power but even without octane batteries they're plenty powerful and will not make or break getting the job done.
Not only they might still not get the job done, but they also get drained sooner. I got a 9ah battery and does not last as much as I wish it did. However, I'm still happy with all my Ridgid tools since I got them all dirt cheap when they got clearanced out by Home Depot and they are actually great for home owners that like to do DIY

I want to get into Ridgid. This seems like I should buy this 2pk 4 this and get a bare tool to start. Is the octane series a noticeable difference? Thanks
You notice a big difference between the two if you have an octane tool for the battery, otherwise it is just a longer lasting battery

This a great deal for anyone with only 2A batteries or anyone that needs more 4A batteries. I might pick these up to replace some 2A batteries that don't have warranty coverage.

For you tinkerers out there, you can 3D print adapters to use Ridgid batteries on any 18V tool or use other brand batteries on Ridgid tools.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

Thanks for posting OP! I've been waiting for this deal to come back.

To all the newcomers to the Ridgid line, don't forget to register the batteries online for the Lifetime Service Agreement (LSA). Some folks assume the lifetime warranty is automatic -- nope. No lifetime warranty unless you register WITHIN 90 DAYS of the purchase date.

Second this. I bought my initial set back in 2009. My batteries started going bad (not holding as long of a charge). I called them up and within 15 minutes, I had 2 new batteries being shipped to me.

I got this deal 03/04/21. If you are into the Ridgid ecosystem then this is a great deal. The best part is these 18v batteries are compatible with the old Ni-Cad 18v battery tools. Even though Ridgid will replace 18v Ni-Cad batteries if you have LSA, these new Lithium batteries have more amp/hrs, are lighter and are smaller. They breathe new life into your old Ridgid Ni-Cad tools. I received my LSA confirmation for this kit yesterday, 03/30/21.
What is LSA ?
How did that return work? did you have to ship them back to Ridgid?

THanks!
