are those good battery cells?

I think they are currently Sanyo’s lowest capacity battery in the 18mm x 65mm series.

I think they are 1.3Ah cells

Aren’t the cells in the 12v max batteries sanyo’s as well?

Sanyo ma kes a lot of different cells. Ryobi is using the bottom of the barrell Dewalt is at the top of the barrel.

The 12v is using the SAX cell, the SA which is used in the ryobi is a little under-performing

Just to re-clarify. Sanyo makes many cells, this way you can pick and choose which cell works best for your application, and cost control. Ryobi being a consumer tool, felt it un-necessary to use a higher grade cell…. most likely because of cost.
