I've got Ryobi's and often the best deal on batteries is to buy a drill kit. Often they come with a charger and 2 li-ion batteries for $99. I also have Ridgid tools. They have a lifetime warranty on the tools and the batteries.

There is a related thread here that is worth reading.
The Ryobi Ni-Cd and Li batteries are interchangeable in their tools. You want a charger that has "Intelliport" marking on it. The newer chargers will work with either type but the older ones will not.
I replace all of my Nicads on my Ryobi tools with Lithium and never looked backward. I got a couple of new Lithium chargers with new tools and keep all of the Lithium batteries charged up. They are so much better than NiCad it is amazing. They stay charged for long periods of time unused unlike NiCads which start to run down as soon as you take them off of the charger, They last much longer in run time, are much lighter, and so far not a single one has failed in over 4 years. The new one+ chargers will charge both the old nicads if you have any of them left and the new lithium, but the old chargers wont charge lithium.
I have half a dozen battery powered tools. Four are Nicads - two are LI ion. Frustration is going out and finding the Nicads are dead as door nails and have to be charged before they can be used. And you just know - those four Nicad tools will NEVER break and need replacement.
Even if they did fit, probably be very hard to find batteries for less than a combo set cost. That's been my experience. Last time I sold the old stuff on ebay.
