Why We Love This Deal
Ryobi’s batteries are getting more affordable. The brand’s smaller compact battery, for example, can now be purchased for under $20, making Ryobi tools among the easiest of the big brands to get into if you have budget concerns. Amazingly, Amazon also has a special price on Ryobi’s high-performance 4.0Ah battery, dropping it down to just $49.
The Ryobi One+ High Performance 18V 4.0Ah Battery is currently 30% off its Amazon list price of $70. Intriguingly, this doesn't seem to be the true MSRP. If you look over at both Ryobi directly and at The Home Depot, you'll find that it's listed for the much higher price of $129. Considering this, the true discount here is more like $80 off, which is even more incentive to pounce on this deal.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Capacity: 4.0Ah
- Compatible With: The 125+ tools in the Ryobi One+ 18V tool line.
- Weight: 1.6 pounds
- Best Use Case: This is excellent for mid-sized Ryobi One+ 18V power tools.
A 4.0Ah battery is really quite a standard capacity for most mid-sized tools. Think, for example, of the brand’s cut-out tool. Many people will also use this with a Ryobi 18V One+ drill, though at 1.6 pounds, it’s worth knowing the battery will add more than double the weight of the smaller compact battery. It’s even powerful enough for energy-hungry tools like the larger leaf blower, so long as you’re speedy with your work.
Note that this battery is also one of the most widely used Ryobi batteries. In fact, it’s the second-highest ranking Ryobi battery in Amazon’s list of bestselling cordless tool battery packs, beaten only by this battery and charger kit, which serves as an excellent entry point into the series to help you round out your collection.

What Ryobi Users Are Saying
One shopper reported on what they use the tool with, and their experience tells a lot about the unit's power. “I use this on my 6" chainsaw, stick vacuum, and cordless screw driver," they said. "It holds a charge and powers all the tools with ease.” They also mentioned that, unlike their smaller 1.5Ah battery, this one doesn’t overheat when using the tools.
Another user said, “I got tired of using cheap knockoffs and am glad that I found this one.” It echoes a sentiment shared by many that genuine batteries work better than imitations.
The Ryobi One+ High Performance 18V 4.0Ah Battery is down to $49 on Amazon, $80 less than what it is elsewhere. Grab yours before the price shoots back up.
