I have quite a few of the older Ryobi tools and batteries, and they work fine for moderate tasks. However, battery technology has improved, voltages have increased for larger devices (lawnmowers, etc.), and many newer tools use brushless motors that draw less power.
As a homeowner it is hard for me to justify getting rid of the older battery operated tools because they still work fine for most tasks. In fact, I just used my old Ryobi right angle drill yesterday. It burned through a battery fairly quickly while drilling holes in floor joists for electrical wiring, but I’ve got at least 3 other charged batteries ready to swap.
