What is the life expectancy of this battery? Mine will no longer take a charge.

I bought a complete Ryobi tool kit. I am not impressed with some of the tools. The rotary saw and kit batteries are junk and the batteries beganto lose life and power right away and did'nt survive even one year. Get one expensive lithium ion battery and you will be much happier than with your kit battery.

I'm not sure of the life expectancy. I would say a couple of years for sure. I am very pleased with this battery. I had previously had a lithium battery. This one holds the charge longer between uses , charges really fast, and allows me to cover larger area per charge!

The ones that came with the drill lasted several years. The first ones I bought from Amazon only lasted lest than a year. The last ones I bought are doing O K, I haven't had them but a few months. May have to try something else, I will see.

Was just looking for a replacement battery when I came across this YouTube post on how to fix a dead battery. This may be worth a try. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GfPKg05ZIU

Not sure. I found that if u let the battery pack die all the way down, it may never hold a charge. Just had that happen a few days ago. Now have to get new battery. Would have thought that it would have lasted much longer. See if yours hold a full charge.

I have had the same battery in mine for over a year now with no problems, you might want to contact the manufacturer?

Ours was no longer taking a charge, replaced the battery and now it works great!

I also agree with Andrew. I bought this battery and simply installed it and it has worked fine ever since (more than 3 months now). I went from about 6 hours per day of life to now about 12 under normal use.

Mine lasted one year. I am now using the OEM battery again. OEM still works, after market battery junk.

This is a friend's computer---when it stopped holding a charge, I ordered a replacement battery for her as a gift. She says she now gets 5 hrs + per charge.

I have three of these and they don't usually die but I have one not holding a great charge after 2 years. Since the warranty is only 1 year, the company will replace the battery for a fee. But you do have to send it in. Don't open it yourself or you may hit something inside. There is also a reset hole in the silver ring bottom. Push a pin in it for 5 seconds then hit the on button for 5 seconds and see if the reset charges the battery. Best of luck.

Great comments! One more question: Anyone know the life of the battery? Do they age over time? I was going to get a spare battery but hate to have it age in the drawer - not used much if at all.

Sorry I can't provide an answer, but I'm in the same boat as you. Have you inquired about it via their customer support? I've been trying to locate the warranty information they sent with the battery so I can see what kind of stuff falls under it.

Contact the company. Battery sounds defective. They promptly sent me a replacement when I told them. Replacement battery has been flawless for 1.5 yrs. NO complaints.See my review for details:http://www.amazon.com/review/RUZWUM3ZAKBZ4/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B00B2RS4VW

I have yet to replace mine. And I've had teh unit for a number of years now. I suppose the battery life will depend how heavily it is used. Mine is moderately used.

Ursa, how long did your battery last? Mine only lasted a year and I'm not happy with that. I was expecting at least a few years out of one - or availability of replacements.

I had similar experience. Try ordering a new AC adapter cord too. My battery now holds the full charge and its been 2 months and its still okay.

I bought and installed this battery. It is to the original battery and so far works like it's supposed to. Don't know about a warranty. I didn't read any of the package info. Who has time?

The battery fits perfectly, however, it is not holding it's charge. What should I do?

My battery began losing charge after 9 mo. It is now exactly 1 year since I purchased it and it runs for 20 minutes. I did the reset thing but same result.
