Is Milwaukee Red-Lithium the same as the new Ridgid Hyper Lithium batteries?
As you can see below, the answer is yes. Click here to have a look inside Milwaukee’s Red-Lithium.
Both Milwaukee, and Ridgid are using the same Samsung INR18650-15M SDI 121 cells.
This is not a good, nor a bad thing. Just something worth pointing out.

well milwaukee makes rigid, right?
TTI Owns Milwaukee, Ryobi, Homelite, Stilhetto, Hoover, AEG, Dirt Devil, ect… and they have a license agreement with Home Depot, and Emerson Electric to produce power-tools under the name Ridgid for Home Depot.
My favourite part is when Home Depot employees assure me Ridgid has much better batteries than Milwaukee or vice-versa.
Should be the other way around, I know Ridgid is their baby though. Gotta sell that LLSA.
