Seriously, the Aldi stuff is good enough for some of my needs. One battery? No brainer, if it works.

Great idea. So I went and had a bit of a look around and there are quite a number of combinations as stated in the video. BUT......

I could not find, and I didn't see one in the video, to adapt a Ryobi battery to anything.

No, but he did mention it in the video there was no adapter for Ryobi batteries as the long part on the battery would make the adapter very bulky

That's too bad as I have a lot of the Ryobi 18V stuff, haven't seen that bandsaw before I wonder if they sell it here? You can also get universal chargers, basically the +ve and -ve cable ends are magnetic and just stick to the battery terminals and the charger is smart enough so it's not polarity dependant.
