For those on the Ridgid platform, HD is selling a 2 pack of Octane 3AH batteries with charger and tool bag for $149.00.
Pros:
1. These are 21700 cell batteries which have more peak power than the typical 18650 cell batteries. All of the other Ridgid Batteries are 18650 cells with the exception of the new max output 8ah battery. These are great for short burst tools like Impact Drivers/wrench and drills.
2. These are a battery/charger combo so they are covered by the LSA.
Cons:
1. The Octane battery line is being discontinued so if the batteries die they will like be replaced by the new line of 18650 max output batteries. The replacement batteries will continue to work with all RIDGID 18V tools, as before, but there has been some question as to whether Octane tools will get the power boost that current Octane batteries give them.
Other than the rare clearance sale, one 3AH battery is typically $99.00 so for $50 bucks more you get an extra battery, charger, and the LSA.
