Why We Love This Deal
Amazon's Presidents Day Sale is now live, and from now through Feb. 18, there are tons of deals to shop on useful home gear in preparation for spring, especially if you're looking to stock up on power tools. Most know, at this point, that these events are the best times to buy a new battery. This time around, Ryobi enthusiasts can do so for their 18V tools, but it's not exactly obvious.
The Ryobi PBP005 One+ 18V 4.0Ah Battery is listed at $46 on Amazon right now, but no discount is shown. In reality, this battery retails for $99 at the hardware stores, which is what The Home Depot has it marked at. We've noticed that inventory has been up and down over the past few days, and excess attention, especially through Presidents Day weekend, could rapidly send it out of stock.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Dimensions: 7.13 x 4.41 x 3.66 inches
- Weight: 1.7 pounds
- Includes Charger?: No
- Features: Quick-release button, visible LED fuel gauge, and anti-vibration technology
- Compatibility: Compatible with more than 300 Ryobi 18V One+ tools.
With a relatively small body, a weight under 2 pounds, and a 4.0Ah capacity, the PBP005 saddles that line between raw power and allowing delicate work with tools that require a dextrous touch.
Even adding one battery to your system can make a big difference, especially when the battery is as convenient to use as this one. A simple, quick-release button allows the battery to snap out of one tool and into the next quickly. Plus, anti-vibration tech that feels like it’s coming out of a G-Shock watch ad ensures that the battery will persist even if it gets bumped or dropped during frequent tool changes. Finally, whether you’re using it with one tool or many, the battery’s LED fuel gauge will allow you to plan a highly efficient charging schedule.

What Shoppers Are Saying
Overall, shoppers are quite satisfied with the battery, and it is rapidly working towards 5,000 perfect ratings on Amazon. As one put it, this is a “quality battery, lasts long, and works great with all my Ryobi stuff.”
Another shopper said that “it charges relatively fast…30 minutes,” which is the right amount of time for a quick lunch and water break, anyhow. Note that, depending on the quality of your Ryobi charger, your charge time may differ, but 30 minutes is a good baseline estimate.
The Ryobi PBP005 One+ 18V 4.0Ah Battery is just $46. That’s an incredible price, especially when we’re accustomed to even sale prices for power tool batteries hitting over $50 or even $60. Again, the amount remaining in stock seems to bounce around every time we’ve looked at this product, so there’s no way to truly speculate on how long this deal will last, only that it is a very good deal either way.
