Worked great for my needs. I ranked longevity and battery life at 3 because only time will tell. My original 5 amp Rigid battery lasted 5 years (albeit with average usage), so my expectations are pretty high.

Functionally fine, but aesthetically inferior.Only time will tell how long it will hold a charge but I took a star off because it’s all plastic with no rubber at the bottom. We all put our gun down on the battery and it seems like it won’t take long for the plastic to wear or crack. I wrapped it with rubber tape to extend its durability.It also doesn’t slide into the tool as smoothly as the OEM battery, but this I can live with…

I put this on a rigid spotlight. I’ve use the spotlight for two weeks. My battery still has a full charge. quite impressed. I love it.

I use my Ridgid battery operated tools everyday, for my profession. I decided to try this “off brand” 6.0 18V battery. It’s basically junk. It holds about the same charge as my 5 year old 2.0 batteries, if that. My battery charger always shows error codes when I try to charge that battery as well. Would not recommend this battery.

For the price, this was a pretty decent acquisition. I do like the size of the battery, overall capacity. It is larger, and adds a fair amount of weight to the tool.On the plus side, it does seem to last longer when I’m using the tool. Getting this battery in and out of the tool is has been very difficult, as the tolerances are not what the original manufacturer was. I’ve had to do some tapping or banging on my work bench, to get the battery to go in, as well as get it to come out. I’m hoping this does not result in any breaking of the plastic in the future.

Used this battery for a couple of weeks now. Now it dies in a matter of seconds, after fully charged
