A: The gray one is the old standard battery. The black battery is the new max output lithium  if you look at the battery terminals max output has communication terminals on the left and right outer most edges and the gray battery does not. It’s like the octane line but with no Bluetooth.

A:Â No difference as far as I know.
by|Mar 19, 2023
A:Â I am not aware of any significant difference. I have several of both and cannot tell any difference in performance.

A:Â The color. They are both 4ah.

Long Lasting Performer
Much preferred over the 2.0 Ah batteries that originally came with my multi-piece starter of Ridgid 18V tools and especially my Ridgid leaf blower which I purchased without a battery.

Batteries hold good charge and power the SDS Chisel drill great
The Rigid batteries have a lifetime warranty. That is impressive. I haven't owned Rigid products before, but the batteries are a lure. The hold 4 ah each. I got a good deal at HD, they were 75% off. The work well in my new Rigid SDS Chisel drill. Wow. They push through the mortar and stone easily. So far, both great products.

Ridgid Beats the BIG GUYS
Great deal compared to other high end brands. I love the warranty and Ridgid absolutely supports their warranty provided you register the product and jump through the proper hoops. Its not that hard and well worth the time. They replaced my 12v system that i bought years ago with a new 18v system because the 12v was no longer an option. Im a heavy DIY user and would suggest Ridgid to anyone in that uses tools daily.

Where is the Bag?
As already mentioned by Jordan, the bag is only large enough to fit the 2 batteries and the charger with the attached transformer. The picture of the bag on the Home Depot site appears at least twice as large.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The charger with the attached transformer has two slots to mount on a wall. This charger is much smaller than the previous chargers. The previous charger is well vented. The kit charger has no venting and maybe does not need it since the transformer is attached via cord rather than included in the charger body.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The battery in this kit weighs about the same as my Hyper Lithium Ion 4.0 Ah battery bought in 2015. My Hyper Lithium Ion 4.0 Ah battery bought in 2015 has a rubber (like) overmolding that would provide some protection in falls and general use. The kit battery has no rubber overmolding. The kit battery feels less durable.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because of the LSA I will probably keep this kit which I bought for $99. I will be less likely to buy Ridgid tools and batteries if they continue to sell cheaper versions. I have been very happy with previous Ridgid 18 volt tools and batteries. Hopefully this kit will provide similar performance.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think Ridgid and Home Depot should send a full size bag as shown on the HD site to everyone who purchases this kit with the deceptive picture that shows a much larger bag.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Until I have time to actually use this kit I would NOT recommend it because it seems like Ridgid is scrimping on quality to sell at a cheaper price.
