What Ryobi products and batteries are compatible?

[otnimus]

I am planning to get a cordless Ryobi lawn mower: https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-lithium-36v-5-0ah-18-brushless-lawn-mower-kit_p0088131

And I also need a drill and looking at this one: https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-18v-one-drill-driver-skin-only_p0096074 which is a skin only. How do I know if I can use the mower's battery for this drill? And in general how do I tell which Ryobi products will share batteries? Thanks.

Hi @miapalmer,

A warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community and thank you for your question.

Both of these tools are on the Ryobi One+ 18V battery platform, so yes, you can use the same battery with both of these products. That's the beauty of the Ryobi One+ range.

Have a look at 18V | RYOBI to see the 200+ tools that are compatible with this battery platform.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi - Can I use an existing one+ 18V 4.0Ah battery in the ryobi 18v one+ reach 8inch pole pruner? I see that the pruner comes with a 2.0Ah (not a 4.0Ah) battery.

Thanks

Hi Liz (@Winniemac),

Thank you for your question.

Yes, you can use any 18V One+ battery with any 18V One+ tool.

Different amp-hour (Ah) batteries will supply power for different amounts of time, but they are all compatible. Your 4.0Ah battery will actually power the pruner for longer than the included 2.0Ah battery will.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi @Winniemac 

as @JacobZ confirmed you can use any ONE+ battery to power your ONE+ Ryobi tools. That system is over 22yrs old now and the battery fitment is still the same. The higher the A/hr rating the longer the battery will last per charger with more energy/Power to the tool.

Hi everyone,
I have a Ryobi battery mower from late 2016 (Model No : RLM 36B46L).
The 36V 5ah battery recently died (Model No : BPL 3650D) .

What is the best battery replacement? (I know the 5ah battery has been discontinued)
Thank you.

PS : Please see pics below of the mower, battery and charger.

Hello @desafinado74 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your questions about your Ryobi battery. 

I suggest having a quick look at this discussion - What Ryobi products and batteries are compatible by @otnimus. In the discussion I suggested using the Ryobi 36V 4Ah Battery, but if you want a battery with more amperage, you can check out the Ryobi 36V 6.0Ah Lithium HP™ Battery R36BTY6. However, I strongly recommend bringing your lawn mower to the store to make sure that the batteries fit.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Thanks Eric for the helpful reply. Looks like the 4Ah battery is the way to go then.

Hi @desafinado74 

Though the 4.0Ahr battery @EricL has recommended will slot straight in, you can still get the benefits of a far more powerful and longer lasting 6.0Ahr battery with the latest intelligence system with your older model as the battery comes with an adaptor plate. This simply clips to the under of the battery compartment lid to increase its height and allow for it to close over the taller 6.0Ahr battery. The performance between a 4.0Ahr and 6.0Ahr is significant. As is your old 5.0Ahr and the new 6.0Ahr.  This video explains.

Hi Nailbag,

Thank you very much for the video and explanation.

I assume that the 6Ah battery will slot into the mower without any problems ?

Hi @desafinado74,

The battery will slot in fine, but the adaptor plate is needed as it is a thicker and taller battery.
