Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20250904-37F52-2147328080. Severity: No Incident, No Injury. Product: Ryobi Ryobi Battery pack Model: P108 4ah, 72Wh (Ryobi Battery Black, silver, yellow Model Number: P108 4ah, 72Wh Serial Number: CS18013D461635). Incident: Ryobi P108 4ah battery pack manufactured 1/1/2018 overheats when charging. The battery gets over 150 F during charging and can't be touched. I bought this from Home Depot in 2019. The battery has always been this hot when charging. I've only charged it a total of 6 times. There is no error showing on my P117 charger and the battery always charged. There is no fault with the charger as different model battery's don't get hot at all. I've contacted Ryobi Support about the overheat issue and they don't think its relavent, its not in warranty and deny there is a problem. I've offered to send it to them for examination. They declined and stand by the warranty position. They declined when asked, to address my issues concerning my safety and the safety of my children. I believe this battery will explode. Ryobi has no response to that concern.
