ryobi mower

[fr]

I have this mower R18XLMW40 I run it with 4 ah batteries but it only runs for 30 mins. I asked at my local Bunnings to buy the 2x8ah batteries they said it wouldn’t work because they were too big and for that reason it will  not be able to shut the cover properly. Is that right?

Hello @fr 

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

The Ryobi 18V ONE+ 8.0Ah HP Battery is indeed taller than the Ryobi 18V ONE+ 4.0Ah Lithium Battery and will not allow it to fit properly into the battery bay of the R18XLMW40. Another factor that will not allow you to use the 8.0Ah battery is that your mower is included in the incompatibility list. As an alternative, I suggest looking at the Ryobi 18V ONE+ 5.0Ah Lithium High Performance Battery - Twin Pack for your mower.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
