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 @Kunlaya,
Thank you for your question about 36v Ryobi batteries and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.
Just to clarify, Volts (V) measure the "pressure" of electricity. Think of it like water pressure in a hose, whereas Amp hours (Ah) measure the amount of electricity a battery can store and provide over time.
I can confirm that any of the Ryobi 36v batteries will be compatible, but a lower Ah battery will not last as long.Let me know if you have any further questions.

Will my 3650D charger charge a 3650?
Hello @farrstep
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about the difference between Ryobi batteries.
Please allow me to call Ryobi and find out the difference between the two batteries and the options regarding charging it. As soon as I have more information, I'll get back to you.
Thank you for your patience.
Eric
Hi @farrstep,
The older charger you were using on the 3650D battery will charge the newer 3650 battery. The only difference in the batteries is the technology they use. You might find that the older charger takes slightly longer to charge the new battery than a new charger would, but apart from that, they are compatible.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Mitchell
Thanks Mitchell. Confident to order one now.
Can I use Ryobi 36V 40V Li-ion 8.0Ah/6.0Ah battery for Ryobi mower 36V 53 cm
aldo can I use V36 charger to charge it
Hi @Camil,
Thank you for your question and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.
We do not recommend using non-Ryobi products with Ryobi tools as they have not been made to the same standards and using them will void the warranty on your mower.
I'd suggest purchasing a genuine Ryobi battery and charger such as this Ryobi 36V 6.0Ah Lithium HP™ Battery R36BTY6 and Ryobi 36V 6A Fast Charger.Let me know if you have any further questions.
Thanks for your advice
I have recently purchased a 12 volt Ryobi hedge trimmer. Can I use my husbands 18 volt Ryobi battery with this?
Hello @AnneM46
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your hedge trimmer.
I'm sorry but the Ryobi 18volt battery only works on Ryobi products that have the One+ logo. Your 12volt appliance would have come with its own charging block. Thats what you need to use to charge up your line trimmer.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
Will a 18V 4A battery work on this even though it suggest a 6a battery is required?
Thanks

Hello @julian72
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your Ryobi lawn mower.
The good news is yes, the RYOBI 18V ONE+ 4.0Ah Lithium Battery will work on your Ryobi mower. The only effect of course is that it will have shorter running time if used by itself. But if you combine it with the 6.0Ah battery you'll get an extended run time.
Can confirm - just tried it and it works perfectly !
Thank you
Further to @EricL advice on runtime, lower amperage batteries produce less energy. This is more apparent on high energy requirement tools like saws and lawn mowers. So your lawn mower may struggle in thicker/longer grass with the 4Ahr pack
Nailbag
Yes
Yes if it will physically fit in space. The important thing is the voltage. The Ah tells you how energy it stores. Bigger Ah usually means bigger physial size
Hi @Christine47,
A warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community and thank you for your question.
@JDE is bang on. A 5.0 amp hour 36V battery is compatible with your mower.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Thank you so much it took me 4 charges to do the back and 3 to do the front, I purchased 36V 5.0ah battery yesterday and when I checked the manual for the mower after registering my warranty it wasn't compatible in my manual, Oh how much easier and shorter my next mow will be.
Last week I bought 2x5Amp 36v Ryobi batteries for our self propelled mower which is now 6 years old. Previous we had 4 Amp batteries. We discovered of course it will work but the battery lid doesn't close because the battery is physically higher. I know there is an adaptor for this problem but not sure where to buy it as I don't see it online at Bunnings? So answer to your question is yes it will work but the older mowers which have the lower battery cover won't close.
Hi @glenn3676
The extension plate comes included with some of the larger capacity batteries that were compatible with a range of models dating back to I'm not sure when. It's not available in-stores but is available as a special order through your local Bunnings store. They can get you a price and availability and order the product through Ryobi.
This video shows how it fits in to placeIn the meantime as you have discovered, the mower will perform perfectly even though the cover doesn't fit fully. You should see an increase in both performance and runtime.
I have a Ryobi RCS36B35 36V chainsaw I have bought new 4Ah batteries but they would seem to be physically slightly larger and won’t fit the chainsaw. Any ideas what battery that needs to be bought?
Hi @Turvs,
As the Ryobi RCS36B35 is an older model of chainsaw, it came with the original 5Ah 36V batteries that Ryobi produced. This tool has since been superseded by newer models and the design of Ryobi's 36V batteries has been improved, which came with a slight change in shape. Unfortunately, your model of chainsaw is one of the tools that the battery's shape changes affect and consequently, there are no longer compatible batteries for sale.
I have reached out via PM to offer further assistance.
Hi @Turvs
further to @JacobZ information, the change in battery shape and physical size coincided with a new model chainsaw. One of the main design changes was to have an open slide battery fitment over the drop in style your model has. This allows for future larger battery capacity releases.
Unfortunately without going to a new smaller capacity battery pack, you might need to look at the 2nd hand market or online stock of older model batteries.
I have a Ryobi 36v 5.0 ah mower. I can't purchase a 5.0ah anymore.
I can now purchase a 36v 6.0 ah battery BUT I now see online that there are batteries that are 40v 6.0ah.
I have websites saying you can't use 40v in a 36v a tool as it will damage the motor, then other websites saying you can.
Does any tech person know the real answer please?
Does
Hello @dawnw
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about the Ryobi batteries.
I've just been in contact with the Ryobi technical support team, and they advise not to use the 40V battery on your 36V mower. Aside from incompatibility there is the possibility of damaging the 36V motor of the mower.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
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.
Can I use the same battery for this Ryobi product https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-18v-one-4-0ah-33cm-cordless-lawn-mower-kit-rlm18x33s40_p0067145
and for this product https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-18v-one-stick-vacuum-2-0ah-kit_p0667133
Thanks in advance.
Hi @miapalmer,
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.
