considering Craftsman has nothing to do with HD which owns the company that makes Ryobi (TTI Inc.) why would they be the same? Maybe they'll fit, but highly doubtful.
no, from my experience, homelite, and ryobi are the same but not craftsman.
I tried a Ryobi black and yellow 18V on my homelite charger and tools and it did not wrok - the lights on the charger are diffrent. The I tried the super Ryobi's and also did not wrok.
Paralleling four sets of 6 volt batteries will still give you 6 volts. Two 6 volt batteries in series will give you 12 volts. Parallel these series sets will give you longer endurance at 12 volts. There is no way you will ever get 48 volts out of four 6 volt batteries.
Depends on the amperage of the batteries you are using. Both setups will give you 36 volts, but you will normally have a longer run time with six 6 volt batteries in series than three 12 volt batteries. That is why golf carts use 6 volt instead of 12 volt batteries.
You cannot do this. If it were a 36 volt charger you could connect three 12 volt batteries in series and charge all 3 at the same time. But this is a 32 volt charger which I have never heard of.
You would need to connect the two 12 volt batteries in series. That will give you 24 volts and the amps of one of the batteries. Voltage doubles and amps stay the same.
A few years ago HomeLite 18 volt tools would accept a Ryobi battery. They were identical.
You cannot use a 12 volt charger to charge 2.6 volt batteries. The 2.6 volt batteries will become hot, very quickly, and explode.
yes
12 Volt
No!
you only need two 12 volt batteries to make 24 volt. connect them in series
