I need a bit of extra range when on longer rides. I am considering one of the following tool batteries. All are 40 volts and would give me the required extra range. The manufacturer's charger would be used. When needed, the ebikes regular battery would be unplugged and the tool battery plugged into the controller.
DEWALT DCB407 40V Max 7.5 Ah Battery, about $200 at Amazon (3-year warranty)
Greenworks 40V 5.0 Ah Lithium-Ion Battery LB40A010, about $150 at Amazon (2-year warranty)
Ryobi 40-Volt Lithium-Ion 5 Ah, about $140 at Home Depot (3-year warranty)
Safety is the most important feature. Can I assume they all have appropriate electronics in the battery to shut it down when the low voltage is reached? I am concerned the low voltage shut down electronics may be in the associated tool, rather than the battery.
Any pro/con input on these or other tool batteries would be welcome.
