TL;DR
- All Ryobi ONE+ 18V batteries fit every ONE+ tool (Ryobi UK: over 200 tools).
- Ryobi UK sells standard Lithium+ packs (2.0–6.0 Ah), Lithium+ HIGH ENERGY packs (4.0–12.0 Ah) and the EDGE RB1840E; the US PBP-series HIGH PERFORMANCE packs are not listed by Ryobi UK.
- Ryobi UK says HIGH ENERGY batteries are compatible with all ONE+ tools.
- Ryobi says the ONE+ battery fitting has been consistent since 1996, so older packs fit; current UK chargers such as the RC18150 are not for NiCd packs.
- ONE+ 18V batteries do not fit Ryobi 36V MAX POWER tools (40V in the US); Ryobi UK says you cannot use 36V batteries in 18V tools or interchange chargers between voltage ranges.
- US and Australian model numbers and retailers differ from the UK range covered here.
Compatibility Rules
Ryobi says every ONE+ battery fits every ONE+ tool, and that its ONE+ batteries are compatible with ONE+ tools dating back 25 years.

Are old Ryobi ONE+ batteries compatible with new tools?
Yes. Ryobi UK says every ONE+ battery fits every ONE+ tool and that the ONE+ battery fitting has been consistent since 1996. Older NiCd packs need a charger that supports NiCd: current UK chargers such as the RC18150 do not.
What is the best Ryobi ONE+ battery for the money?
Prices change, so we do not rank by value. For most tools a 4.0Ah pack such as the RB1840X (0.7 kg) is a common middle ground; for garden machines and high-demand tools, the HIGH ENERGY RB1880T (8.0Ah) and RB18120T (12.0Ah) give the most runtime.
How many Ryobi ONE+ tools are available?
Ryobi UK says the ONE+ range features over 200 tools, from power tools to garden and car-care products, all compatible with a single battery.
