Exmate 14.4V 3.5Ah Ni-MH Replacement Battery Compatible with Ridgid R83015 130252003 130254002 130254008, 14.4V Ni-MH Battery

The Exmate 14.4V 3.5Ah Replacement Battery is a cost-effective option for those in need of a replacement battery for their Ridgid power tools. The battery is compatible with various Ridgid charger models, including the original Ni-CD charger. It also features a recognition system for the original Ridgid charger, ensuring compatibility. While the performance of the battery is yet to be determined, some customers have expressed concerns about the fit and convenience of the battery. The battery case is not as close to the original Ridgid equipment, making it difficult to mount and dismount from the tool. Additionally, it may not fit in the tool case due to its slightly larger size. This can be inconvenient as users will have to carry the battery separately from the tool. However, other customers have reported positive experiences with the battery. They have found it to have a long-lasting charge and it has allowed them to continue using their drill without having to invest in a new one. The prompt delivery of the product has also been appreciated by customers who accidentally purchased it but decided to keep it for future use. Despite some positive feedback, there is one particularly negative review where the battery's performance was severely lacking. The user reported that the battery lasted less than an hour on its second use and less than 10 minutes on its previous use. The customer also expressed frustration at not being able to return the product and vowed to not purchase from the company again. In conclusion, the Exmate 14.4V 3.5Ah Replacement Battery offers a cost-effective solution for those needing a replacement battery for their Ridgid power tools. However, the fit and convenience may be compromised, and there is a risk of potential performance issues based on one negative review.
