This Ridgid 18V starter kit stands out for high capacity batteries and unusually strong value, especially for tools that drain fast like blowers, shop vacs, trimmers, and rear handle saws. The 8Ah packs are described as beasts with noticeably better runtime and power than 4Ah batteries, and the included charger adds extra utility. The main caveats are weight and some listing confusion, since the pictures and box did not always match the contents. Registration for the lifetime warranty also came up as an important step.
The kit can deliver longer runtime for blower, shop vac, and weed wacker use without swapping batteries.
The effective $7.125 per Ah cost can beat a $10 per Ah rule of thumb for higher-capacity needs.
The deal can include all batteries plus chargers, with some deliveries arriving with two chargers total.
The batteries can help during power outages by charging more packs faster with the included chargers.
The listing and packaging can show picture or labeling mismatches, including confusion about whether the 4Ah batteries are EXP.
Shipping can be handled by questionable carriers, and delivery status may not match what happens at the doorstep.
Registration for the lifetime warranty can fail for the 8Ah battery kit even when the 4Ah kit registration works.
The included 4Ah batteries cannot be returned, which can force selling locally if they are not needed.

Expect things to go in circles for DAYS. Be prepared to go onto Twitter for some public shaming @ their customer service handle. It's about the ONLY way I've gotten results.
You want HD to fix it -- they usually won't. You need your credit card company to do a chargeback. HD is one of the worst companies to deal with when it comes to customer service complaints.
And as soon as you do a chargeback, you get banned as a customer.

It is legit deal. Thank you...
Edit: each pack of two came with its own charger! It just wasn't pictured on the 8Ah box.
ETA: each set of batteries came with a charger, sorry for the mixup. Just to note, each charger is a different model, and each is different than my OG charger from years ago.

I was able to apply for the 4AH battery kit LSA, but the 8AH battery kit kept throwing errors. I emailed them and, if I don't hear back by mid next week I'll call to see what's up.
