You answered the question in a helpful way. Why the down votes?
It's a "The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club" kind of thing. Also see rule 2.
There are thousands of posts about this hack over at least a decade. I think the cats out of the bag.
This one seems well built, but the battery on the back does take some getting used to.

But fwiw I just went down the rabbit hole and the gist is most people tend to prefer the random orbital sander over this one for being easier to change sheets, leaving less marks, easier on the body, sanding faster at low grit, and just generally being more versatile for different use cases.
This one seems to be mostly recommended specifically for finishing sanding (paint, etc) because sheets will gum up fast and it's cheaper to replace plain sheets than the velcro ones needed for the ROS sander. Also obviously better for corners due to the square shape.
But most people who have both seem to say they rarely go for this one.
So if you return the "free" battery, you cannot use it ?
I asked the lady at customer service if it was a problem to do the return since the battery and tool combo gave me such a good price on the sander.
She replied with "Sweetie, Home Depot is still making plenty of money off the deal, at least somewhere along the line, or this computer, pointing to the register, wouldn't allow me to do the return for you in the first place."
Which if you think about it, of course they are, because even after the battery return, if Home Depot wasn't still coming out ahead on the deal, this "battery hack" thing would've been shutdown after the first time a sizable amount of customers took advantage of the "hack".
Any amount of guilt one might feel for taking advantage of returning the battery means that Home Depot has been successful at marketing the "perceived value" for the battery packs during a typical sale.
