Does anyone have direct experience with this brand replacement battery?

On a serious note, I don’t have personal experience, but, for whatever it’s worth, a quick perusal of the average Amazon reviews rating for multiple batteries from that brand, with a few exceptions, show them to generally receive at least 4 stars out of 5.
Yes, i have this battery. It works for about half the time plus or minus of the same size as the ryobi battery. But at half the price its hard to beat. If you are using it for a string trimmer or paired with a ryobi battery in a mower or somethimg and you have small to medium yard it will get the job done without having to recharge.
Yes. I have this exact battery. Good for price, but…
- Its a hair wider than the original. Tight fit in some of the equipment.
- The level indicator light button stopped working. You have to put it into a charger to see the level.
- Most important, its 6 Ah, not 5 like the oem batteries. Why, i don’t know. It does not work in the blower or the leaf vacuum. I literally leave it in my string trimmer and just charge it once a month.
To any Wooter looking for reviews, this is a different listing by the same seller/manufacturer at the mothership:

How does it compare in size and weight to the Ryobi battery, which I assume is also a 6AH battery? If it weighs the same, has an equal volume, runs for half the time and costs half the price, it would seem possible to buy a Ryobi 2AH or 4AH battery and get the same run time with less weight.
I bought two. They work well enough, but apples to apples have about half the life of official ones. Still, I wasn’t quite getting my lawn cut without stopping to recharge and now I am.
