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.

My Ryobi lawnmower RLM36BL purchased in 2023 stopped today soon after I started mowing, despite starting with a fully charged battery (4ah36V Lithium).  When I removed the battery and checked the charge indicator it showed only one light, but when I put it back into the charger and switched it on, the charge indicator showed all four green lights.    I took it off the charger and again it showed only one flashing green light, and would not start the mower.

Is the battery stuffed?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @BillT. It's fantastic to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about Ryobi batteries.

It definitely sounds like there’s an issue, though it’s hard to tell from your description whether it’s the battery or the charger causing it. If you have another Ryobi tool that uses the same battery, or another battery for the mower, you could try swapping them to see whether the problem is with the battery or the charger.

From what you’ve described, it’s more likely that the battery itself is at fault. Ryobi 36V batteries usually come with a three-year warranty, so since yours was purchased in 2023, it should still be covered. I’d recommend taking the battery, the charger, the mower (if purchased as a bundle), and your proof of purchase to your local Bunnings store and having them assess it under warranty. They should be able to swap the battery out if it’s faulty.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
