HP doesn't have any more energy than a regular 4.0, what it does allow is a higher c rate or more peak amperage on higher end duty tools. Unless you have something with high amperage draw it won't make a difference. For instance an angle grinder makes sense but for drills and torque devices it's minimal at best. Apparently they also have a communication bus for hp+ tools where it can control the amps depending upon the temperature and torque applied. I use both, unless I am using a high draw tool where I really need the power it doesn't make much difference. There are also some difference on the bottom where you can angle into tight spaces better but in that case smaller batteries may make more sense.
the new 6ah battery is about the same size with higher capacity cells. I would posit those are better for high power tools and you just buy the cheaper 4ah for the rest of the gig but the 6ah is pretty expensive now. it will come down.
this is not really a deal I got this pack with a high speed charger for the same price this Summer. unless you are hard up for batteries Ryobi days or bf you will see better deals. inventories are really high now.
Thanks! I got that bundle because I need batteries, a charger, and an angle grinder. I need the batteries because I'm about to buy the 18 gauge nail gun/tool only.
I bought the one last night with the 7 1/4 brushless circular saw.
I still need the JigSaw, considering getting the same deal with the JigSaw, but that would give me 8 batteries, not sure i need that many, but the tool itself is $159.
Still waiting for the Black Friday deal a couple of years ago where you could add the 9.0ah HP battery as the free tool. Love that battery on my shop vac and edger!
Don't think they're the same. HP is the higher tier for more energy, so they're more expensive.

how long will these batteries stay in good working condition if i used them once or twice a month?
Most Li ion batteries are rated to last 1000 charges.
Some people say don't let them drain below 50%, but I have not had that issue. Either the battery indicator knows to cut off power at 50% or the batteries don't have that issue. I''ve run my weed trimmer and blower until they quit, and the batteries charged fine, so IDK.
The only caveat is on occasion you get a bad cell, so after X charges the battery no longer charges or says it is charged but has 0 juice. Be sure to register your battery to get the warranty.

Buy the brushless jigsaw as tool only because they're including a free brushless hammer drill kit.
For $139, you'd get:
- hp brushless jig saw
- hp brushless hammer drill
- two hp 2.0ah batteries
- charger
- bag

2 regular batteries (3Ah or 4Ah) + charger + free tool for $99
Better than 3Ah and 4Ah regulars.
Unless you get the 6Ah or 9Ah, you won't get longer runtime.
The 6Ah HP are $149 for two, so you could get a similar $/Ah with them instead.
$100 / 4Ah / 2 = $12.5/Ah
$150 / 6Ah / 2 = $12.5/Ah
