Q:Difference in 2ah and 4ah 18volt battery
by|Sep 23, 2024
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Hello, Doggeemama - Amp-hour refers to the constant amp draw a battery pack can run at for 1 hour. A 4Ah battery can run at 4 amps for an hour in normal weather conditions, while a 2Ah battery can run at 2 amps for an hour. However, runtime will vary depending on the tool used as well as outdoor conditions. If you need further support, then feel free to ask another question. You can also contact us by phone or text at 1.866.539.1710, Monday - Friday from 9 am to 5 pm (EST), or via email when you visit us at https://register.ridgidpower.com/contact. This question is from RIDGID 18V Lithium-Ion (2) 4.0 Ah Battery Starter Kit with Charger and Bag (AC93044SBN).

    Q:It appears that the Lifetime Service Agreement does not apply to accessory batteries. Is that different when buying this kit - does each battery qualify for the LSA when buying this specific package?

          Be warned of the supposed LSA
          Be warned that if the cheap plastic little clips that hold the batteries on the tool crack and break off from normal use RIDGID WILL NOT HONOR THE LSA. Nor, can they provide a repair part so I can fix it myself. Their response was, "sorry go buy another battery", even though this one works perfectly fine as long as you don't mind holding it on the tool. One of the biggest reasons I've invested into so many ridgid tools was because of the LSA, a lot of good that did!!

            Good saw for the price
            Used this saw for over a year now on a number of moderately heavy tasks. It does well ripping subfloor and OSB and cutting 2x4s. It handled 2x6s,8s, 10s and 12s well too but on pressure treated & wet lumber there were a few times when the blade got stuck and I had to back up but it was only a few seconds of delay There are battery saws out there that will power through but they cost $200 more. Worm drive design is nice for one hand cutting (for right handers) and being able to see the blade.

              NONEXISTANT CUSTOMER SERVICE - SPARE YOURSELF
              Purchased the set to go with a very expensive multitool set of Ridgid tools. Have had it less than 2 weeks. Go to use one of the batteries today, and doesn't work! Error reading. CANNOT REACH ANYONE AT CUSTOMER SERVICE! 3 HOURS ON HOLD AND NOTHING. SENT EMAILS- NOTHING. MY DEWALTS LASTED 24 YEARS AND ONLY GOT RID OF THEM BECAUSE THE BATTERIES WERE NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND USED ONE RUPTURED. DUMMY ME THOUGHT A LIFETIME SERVICE AGREEMENT REPRESENTED QUALITY. NOT!

                This is a great kit on sale. The 4AH batteries are the perfect size for my lights, and fans to run all day, and they're the perfect size for impact drills and drivers for the right balance of battery life without adding too much weight or bulk. The charger is really compact compared to the ones that came with my other kits, which I really like as well. Overall I am happy with this kit.

                Power
                I drained the included 8Ah and 4Ah battery and recharged them when plugged in to a watts-up meter. The 72Wh, 4Ah battery pulled 85.3Wh from the wall with the included charger, The 144Wh, 8Ah battery pulled 163.2Wh from the wall. Assuming a 84.4 charger efficiency, the capacity of both batteries are spot on. The 8Ah battery take 1:45 hours to charge. With the 8Ah battery this saw is a beast.

                  Warranty registration is clunky, a time waster, don't bother
                  One battery dead after a few months, tried to get another under warranty, says they replaced it, but I never got one

                  decent cordless rear handle circular saw
                  this is a decent cordless rear handle circular saw. while I'm not a big fan of battery operated tools, I must confess that it is very convenient and handy to have one around to use on a project. one concern was the amount of power this saw had for tough jobs. so far I've only used it on a small job and it worked very well. it is very adjustable. the blade depth can be adjusted from .25 inch to 2.5 inches. the vertical angle of the cut could also be adjusted from 90 degrees down to around 40 degrees, which is pretty nice. It has a nice guide sight with a little light for dim environments. there are a couple of drawbacks, which I think stems some the basic design of rear handle circular saws. one, is that it is larger than the other kind of circular saw (top handle?). second, it that it is more heavy (the battery doesn't help!). so far it has worked fine for me. a big bonus is the lifetime service guarantee by Ridgid.
