Product Details

Why 5.0Ah Capacity Matters

A higher amp-hour rating means longer runtime between charges. The RIDGID 56518’s 5.0Ah cells give you up to 25% more runtime than a standard 4.0Ah battery, so you can keep working through long runs and heavy-duty tasks.

Battery Care and Maintenance

For maximum life, avoid leaving the battery in direct sunlight or in a hot vehicle. Store it at room temperature and charge it after each job. The built-in convection cooling keeps the cells cooler during heavy use, which helps extend the battery’s overall lifespan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do the LED indicators on the RIDGID 56518 mean?

The LEDs show charge status and battery temperature at a glance. A solid green LED indicates good charge; as the charge drops, fewer LEDs light up. If the LEDs flash red, the battery is too hot or too cold and you should let it return to room temperature.

Which RIDGID tools are compatible with this battery?

It works with RP350, RP340, RE6, RE600, RE60, CS65x, CS12x, and CS6x Versa tools, among other RIDGID 18V tools.

How long does the 5.0Ah battery take to charge?

Charging time depends on the charger and the battery’s starting level. With a standard RIDGID 18V charger, you can expect roughly 45–60 minutes for a full charge. The passive cooling design helps maintain charging efficiency.

Can I charge this battery in my vehicle?

Yes, the battery comes with a DC charging cord so you can recharge from a car or truck’s 12V outlet, which is handy for remote job sites.

Long lasting

I've been using this battery in my RIDGID drill for months. The LED indicator is very handy, I always know how much charge is left. It seems to last much longer than my old batteries. Charges quickly too. Great investment.

Good but heavy

This battery packs plenty of power. It is a bit heavy on the tool, but that's expected. The LED indicator is a nice touch.
