Deal Details
I've been wanting a smaller battery for my Ridgid impact drill. The 4ah ones last forever but are just too heavy. Not sure how often these go on sale.

These suck. I hate the 1.5ah if they didn't have lifetime warranty I would throw away. Stay with 2-3 ah at least. Any bigger tool, saw etc overloads the 1.5

Not a bad price for the times you only need to use something for a few minutes. Why add extra weight.

That's what my 4ah and 6ah batteries are for. I get tired of lugging all that extra weight around for my drill.

Sounds like you could use some validation. Maybe I can help with that.

I agree that a lighter battery is worth having. The Ridgid batteries this size are handy to have.
If all you have are small ones, you can miss out, but definitely having both is good.

Now you should look at one of the smaller form factor battery systems like the Milwaukee M12. Them's nice and light. Once you have one of those, you won't be using the "small" 18 hour batteries much any more.

I have Ridgid 18v 1.5ah & 4ah. Some of the tools run fine on the lighter battery. I can use the inflater to add 5 psi to 4 truck tires without draining it completely.

I have 2 of these and two 4ah ones, best of both. These work just fine on my 3/8 impact and get the job done, when they don't, i get my 1/2 impact and a 4ah battery.
And for those that don't know, new batteries bought by themselves are now covered under the LSA

There's also the Ridgid 12v system that is good for small/light jobs.

Ridgid 12 volt line is about gone. I like my Ridgid tools, but they are not a full line tool company.

Have a couple of 2ah and 4ah batteries and been curious to try a 1.5ah as my main drill battery for day to day around the house stuff to save a little weight and bulk.
