I go with Milwaukee because I gave away all my other gear so I just had a single brand battery to keep around.
Copy that... Milwaukee is top shelf stuff and I concur with recommending it every time.
Ryobi is NOT... but I lucked into a pile of 6Ah batteries for a song... so I have lots of chitty Ryobi tools. Throwaways to be honest. Batteries and tools are a complex topic.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
