2. Setup
2.1 Charging the Battery
Before first use, fully charge both batteries. A compatible RYOBI ONE+ charger (sold separately) is required. Follow the instructions provided with your charger for proper charging procedures.
- Connect the charger to a standard power outlet.
- Slide the battery onto the charger until it clicks into place.
- Observe the charger's indicator lights to confirm charging status. Charging is complete when the indicator shows a full charge.
- Once fully charged, remove the battery from the charger.
Note: For optimal battery life, it is recommended to charge batteries indoors in a warm environment, especially during colder months. Avoid charging in unheated garages or outdoors in freezing temperatures.
2.2 Installing the Battery into a Tool
These batteries are designed for easy installation and removal from all RYOBI 18V ONE+ tools.
- Align the battery with the battery port on your RYOBI ONE+ tool.
- Slide the battery firmly into the tool until you hear a click, indicating it is securely locked in place.
- To remove, press the release latches on the sides of the battery and slide it out of the tool.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Checking Battery Charge Level
Each battery features an integrated LED fuel gauge to quickly check the remaining charge.
- Press the button on the front of the battery.
- The LED lights will illuminate, indicating the charge level. Typically, four bars indicate a full charge, while fewer bars indicate a lower charge. A single flashing bar usually means the battery is very low and requires charging.
3.2 General Usage
The RYOBI 18V ONE+ Lithium-Ion batteries deliver consistent, fade-free power throughout their discharge cycle. This means your tools will maintain full performance until the battery is depleted.
- Always ensure the battery is fully charged before starting a project to maximize runtime.
- For prolonged projects, consider having a second charged battery ready to swap.
- These batteries are designed to perform reliably in various weather conditions, including extreme temperatures.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Storage
Proper storage is crucial for extending the lifespan of your Lithium-Ion batteries.
- Store batteries indoors in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Avoid storing batteries in unheated garages or sheds during winter, as cold temperatures can negatively impact performance and longevity.
- For long-term storage, it is recommended to store batteries with a partial charge (around 50%).
4.2 Cleaning
Keep battery terminals clean and free of debris. Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe down the battery exterior as needed.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your RYOBI 18V ONE+ Lithium-Ion batteries, consider the following:
- Battery Not Charging: Ensure the charger is properly plugged into a working outlet and the battery is securely seated on the charger. Check the charger's indicator lights for error codes.
- Reduced Runtime: Over time, all batteries experience some degradation. Ensure batteries are fully charged before use. If runtime is significantly reduced, the battery may be nearing the end of its lifespan.
- Battery Overheating: If the battery feels excessively hot during charging or use, discontinue use immediately and allow it to cool down. Consult the charger or tool manual for specific overheating indicators.
- Tool Not Operating: Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly installed in the tool. Check the tool's manual for specific troubleshooting steps related to power issues.
For persistent issues, refer to the detailed operator's manual included with your batteries or contact RYOBI customer support.
