Ryobi RB18L50 ONE+ Lithium+ 5.0Ah Battery, 18 V

Product Information

This innovative battery is suitable for 18V Ryobi One+ RB18L50 18V 5Ah and NICAD ONE+ Ryobi tools. Why not build your own collection of ONE+ tools by buying the batteries and chargers you need? This can include their cordless screwdrivers or some sanders and grinders. Maximum Running Time Powerful 5.0Ah Lithium+ battery gives more power, longer runtimes and better durability than previous Ryobi® lithium technologies Higher voltages such as 18V and 20V are required to power heavier use power tools like hedge clippers, impact wrenches, cordless drills etc.

Using a 5.0Ah battery with the Ryobi R18PD3, you can drive up to 1550 4 x 32mm wood screws on a single charge. Charger sold separately. Features:

No Need to Constantly Recharge

Heat causes a loss of electricity, called voltage drop, which also lowers the force the voltage can provide and decreases the amperage that can get through. We minimize resistance through material choices, like copper or aluminum, and increasing the size of the conductors and components used. The less heat that is generated, the better for everything involved. There are ways of converting (or inverting) electricity, you guessed it, using converters (AC to DC) or inverters (DC to AC). That's another article in itself. You can learn what is an inverter and As you can see Ryobi have many different batteries available. Why do manufacturers like Ryobi make different voltage of batteries? The higher Ah also means you'll be able to power more things for longer with less strain on the battery components. An easier workload will impact the longevity of the battery itself. Batteries allow flexibility Those batteries with larger voltage sizes are heavier than smaller voltage batteries and that is always a consideration for manufacturers depending on the actual use of the tool.

Typically called the C-rate, they represent the battery's charging and discharging ability. Charts and formulas are available online to help calculate what the C-rate on a battery actually means for you. What's the difference between amps, ohms, and volts? Amperage, also known as electric current, measures the rate at which electrons flow through a conductor or object. This rapid flow can be thought of as similar to water flow through a channel or canyon. The higher the amperage, the greater volume of electrons moving. One of the coolest things about batteries is that you can run them in series or parallel to change voltages and amperage. You can assemble a battery bank to accomplish or fulfill any needs with a few equations. Most people know that AC and DC electricity are two different types of current, but few know how they differ. IntelliCell™ technology monitors and balances individual cells to maximise run-times, storage life and safetyAmp-hours, or Ah for short, are a unit of measure for a battery's energy capacity. This rating tells us how much current a battery can provide at a specific rate for a certain period. Smaller voltages can operate smaller power tools like cordless screwdrivers, rotary tools and light use drill/drivers. In all cases a lithium battery is the best choice. Whereas voltage measures the potential energy of a battery, it is the Ah rating (usually 1.0Ah to 6.0AH) that measures the capacity of the battery. As a general rule, the larger this number is, the longer your battery will last for on each charge and you should always use a lithium battery. Even though the Amp=-hours doesn't automatically mean the battery is more powerful by the numbers, sometimes it can equate to more power. In a higher Ah battery, the number and density of cells supplying the current and the heavier gauge of the conductors and components involved allow more current to move with less resistance.
