I've heard the new Aussie owners, Bunnings, have put a fuller range of Ryobi 1+ tools & batteries in to improve the DIY offering, in contrast to the previous owners reliance upon soft furnishings.
Ryobi 1+ batteries are sometimes 'Managers Specials' that are not promoted nor available online, to increase footfall.
