Yea there’s info on what cells are in Ryobi packs.
Some years back I got a cheap Bauer 20V pack and that had Samsung cells in it, but they may have changed it by now. I believe Hercules packs still have good name brand cells, Kobalt packs are pretty affordable too and last Kobalt pack I opened was Samsungs or LGs or whatever. Kobalt 24V is going to give you 6 or 12 cells compared to 5/10 on the 18V/20V packs.
Ryobi was name brand in everything until a few years ago, now the HP packs are still Japanese or Korean cells and the cheaper all black packs are some Chinese cells but they’re not too bad IME.
Or you can be a garbage picker like me, look for the battery recycling bin at Lowe’s or wherever out front. There was a Ryobi 40V brick in one and I stuck my hand in there and grabbed that bitch. At least 15 of the 20 name brand cells were still plenty good for flashlights and stuff, especially the cheap flashlights made to run off 3x AAAs.
