update on ryobi 300028 155r battery: [Posted on 2004-07-13]
I just tried to order this patr directly from ryobi #800 345 8746. I was told that it is a special order item only now and is $50.00. this is very upsetting that a battery would cost about 50% of what I paid for the product about two years ago. I also find it very irresponsible of ryobi to let it's customers (former) down in this way. I am writting a letter to them expressing my discontent in this matter. I would suggest that anyone who is the same situation do the same. Our $100.00 plus tool has become garbage as far as I am concerned. I am going to take my $50.00 and by a trimmer that will be supported by its manufacturer.

Found the battery only for $27.00 [Posted on 2004-07-30]
I called the 800 number listed in another review and was able to get the replacement battery for about $27.00
I have the charger, so that isn't a problem. My local hardware stores were unable to get the battery, so this is a good solution for me.

Replacement Battery Alternative [Posted on 2005-04-18]
If you are having trouble finding a replacement battery for the Ryobi electric trimmer like I was, you can order one for $8.95 + shipping from Rage Battery in San Diego (858-376-1320). Ask for the PS-1270F2, Power-Sonic 12 Volt 7.0 Amp Hour, terminals F2. It's the same size as the battery that comes with the Ryobi.

Don't worry! This is a very common battery size. [Posted on 2005-04-24]
Roybi put a spacer around terminals that makes you think the battery is "special", but any 12-V 7.0 amp,(or 7.2 amp) will fit & work perfectly! They are available online and most any local battery store, like BatteriesPlus. Expect to pay anywhere from fourteen to twenty-five buckos!
