I’ve had the mower for about 2-3 yrs and the chainsaw for about 1 1/2 yrs. The mower came with a 6aH and the saw came with a 4 aH. I bought 2 of the aftermarket batteries and I haven’t seen any difference in the performance. The mower is used pretty much every week during the summer. I use all the batteries in rotation. Just as good as the originals.
it's a 4ah battery as others have said. biggest issue with these aftermarkets are their failure rates. have 4 of them and 2 of them failed with moderate use in roughly a year or less. factor in ryobi's warranty, i'm not sure if the aftermarkets are a better value. but the low initial cost feels nice.
I noticed all these after market batteries are about 3 amps less then what they claimed...i have a 9 amp one and it only tested for 6.5 amps ..i seen a pattern of all.of them being 3 amps less.....
I have a mower that I have had for 4 years now. First year, the 5 amp hour battery went and they sent me a replacement. year 4, the battery went (after 3 years of use which I dont think is a lot) and they wont replace it. These after market "6ah" batteries are like $60 on amazon now. Even if they are only equal to a 4ah battery, I can buy about 3 - 4 of them for the same price as 1 5ah genuine ryobi. Why wouldn't I buy at least one, if not 2 of them?
Interesting, but after a year of use how will the off-brand perform? Testing batteries when new has some merit, but after 40 discharge/charge cycles will the 1/2 price battery still compete with the Ryobi brand? Also if the off-brand was really 6 ah it should have lasted much longer than the 4 ah Ryobi. Like so much of the Chinese tech stuff, the specs are not accurate (true).

I do too.
Had a few aftermarket 40v and they don’t last long
So far mine is doing good but I don’t use it that often.

Just spoke to Don at Georgia Relice , He gave me great price on the XP Deus
You need to run each battery under a load to get an accurate comparison. always look forward to your videos George
RY40502 do they still make a battery for this Ryobi RY40502
Batteries should be cooled down before recharging. This will prolong the life of the battery.
Nice. I thought you would get Jr. to be in the video!

Hello Gigmaster
Thank you for sharing with us.
It should have lasted nearly 30 minutes longer at 6Ahr
I would be interested to see the test run again after about 30 discharge/charge cycles.
Agree!
@@Gigmasterguaranteed that the aftermarket battery is useless by now.
Use it all the time! Got a weed wacker and blower that use that battery.
here in SC they want let you do nothing metal detecting only private lands PERIOD..an law says anything you find over 100 years old belongs to state
State law is stupid

Agree! So far I am still using the replacement battery and I have not noticed any significant change but as you said time will tell.
My genuine ryobi batteries seem to break after a year anyway. So what difference does it make. It's all crap.
Your comparing a used 4A to a new battery. Capacity on the used has probably diminished. The “6A” is probably similar to the 2.6A.
It had only been used 4 times.
I'd buy the half price one.
It’s not a 6ah battery replacement battery. It’s a 4ah replacement battery. Too long of a story to explain!
