I've got some Ryobi One+ kit and need some batteries.

The jig saw and two battery combo seems MIA this year. Makes me sad.

I'll probably get the two battery and charger for $99.

The charger is a little thing, and I still have the larger (single battery) charger from the blue kit.

Are the older charger and newer batteries compatible?

The older yellow batteries I believe are all Ni-Cad's and the old charger won't charge the newer Li-Ion but the newer chargers will charge the older batteries as long as it's listed as a Dual Chemistry charger.

One great thing about Ryobi is the newest batteries will still power the old blue Ryobi 18V stuff. Everyone else has changed battery designs and left the older tools hang out to dry.

Here's a comparison of chargers. It's not completely up to date as it doesn't show the newer wall wart charger they put in a lot of these sets.
