I purchased a Ryobi HP41L with a 4V Battery a while back. Its the one with an internal battery, not the screw on disc-shaped batteries. It seems that the Battery has given up and wont charge at all anymore. The problem is that I cant seem to find a replacement anywhere! Even the Ryobi company cant help me out. I called and searched everywhere online and cant figure it out. The Battery is a IMR18650, however all the ones I could find online lack two receptacles/prongs that attach themselves to the drills circut board. Anyone know where I can find a replacement?

 

Edit: I found this online, Its a link to the exact stock battery from the drill, but it says I have to purchase at least 100. You can see in the picture what I mean by the prongs. Any help? Thanks!

Oh wow. I swear Home Depot had a bunch of tek stuff listed on there website a few days ago. They must have pulled just about everything when the launched the Ryobi Phone Works System.

The Ryobi HP41L is not a Tek 4 tool and does not use the Tek 4 battieries.

Sorry it looked very similar to the Tex4 screwdriver.

Yeah, the Tek4 batteries dont have those tabs needed to install into the battery. I think either M80 and Yamatitans responces are the best bet. Thanks!
