RYOBI 36V battery range

How to choose the right 36V battery

RYOBI’s 36V battery platform provides the power behind the 36V range of gardening and lifestyle products. They suit people with larger or more mature gardens where tools require longer runtimes and additional power to keep gardens looking in tip-top shape.

 

Choosing the right battery can sometimes be a little confusing. The information on this page will help you choose the right size battery for your products and tasks.

The differences between the types of 36V batteries

For more complex gardening tasks that require even more power and longer runtimes, 36V HP, with larger 27100 cells deliver added power and increased runtimes. They’re engineered to enable you to push your garden tools harder for longer.

Making the right choice

What does the ‘Ah’ mean on a battery?

Performance and runtime – High Ah batteries provide longer runtimes and increased power to do more. This is often a requirement of power-hungry tools and products, like lawn mowers cutting long grass on a large lawn, a chainsaw cutting wood for a week-long campfire. They’re so powerful they make petrol power extinct! 

Versatility and convenience - Low Ah batteries are a great choice for tools like a line trimmer or a hedge trimmer, where a lighter battery would deliver a comfortable experience over extended periods of use.
