Does the product come with a power cord then? Or is it inoperable out of the box without a battery?

  the latter….

    The idea is that you buy a single battery / charger (as a separate purchase), then you use that with all your compatible Ryobi products.
    Personally, I don't like this type of "vendor lock-in".

      For the casual DIY'er (like myself) I don't mind this 'lock-in'. Spend a bit on some batteries but then buying additional devices isn't as expensive and still better quality than XU1!
      
      Although the new 36V plus the 18V is a bit annoying, just standardise it!

      @downforce:
      Different power requirements need different batteries. 18V is not enough for more power hungry applications and 36V is too bulky for the others.
