Ridgid 18V 12.0Ah MAX Output EXP
Lithium-Ion Battery R840120
Ridgid launches a new battery with very high capacity of 12ah. Ah stands for amp hours which is a measurement of capacity, not power output. This means it has 6 times the capacity of a 2ah battery. 4x the capacity of a 3ah or 3x the capacity of a 4ah and double the capacity of a 6ah and so forth. In some cases larger capacity batteries have been shown to offer better performance on certain tools. This can vary from slight to noticeable but all depends on the tool and application.
Many times a difference in performance isn’t noticeable. Though Ridgid claims this has 3x more power, although they don’t mention compared to what? So take it with a grain of salt as this is marketing and most if not all manufacturers nowadays claim their newest batteries have more power. Whether the difference is noticeable is a different story. This is a Max output labelled battery and supposedly their latest tools perform best with these.
No specific release date or price has been confirmed at the time of writing. Ridgid says it will be available in 2023.
- 3X more power
- Runs cooler & lasts longer
- Advanced intelligent electronics for optimized performance
Ridgid 18V 6A Rapid Charger R86098
Last of the bunch is a new 18V 6A rapid charger. Ridgid claims it’s 3x faster charging although they don’t mention compared to what? It is rated to charge a max output 6ah battery in about an hour which is quick. It has an integrated pass-through plug to conserve outlet space for other appliances.
No specific release date or price has been confirmed at the time of writing. Ridgid says it will be available in 2023.
- 3X faster charging
- Charges an 18V 6.0Ah MAX Output Battery in 1 hour
