How to Charge Your Ryobi Drill Properly

Getting Started with Your RYOBI Tool 

Charge Before First Use 

• RYOBI 18V ONE+ batteries are shipped in a low-charge condition to protect them during transport. 
• Before using your tool, fully charge the battery using a compatible RYOBI ONE+ charger. 
• This ensures optimal performance and battery longevity. 

Battery Compatibility 

• All RYOBI ONE+ tools use the same 18V battery platform. 
• One battery works across hundreds of tools:  

  * Power tools like drills, saws, sanders
  * Outdoor tools like mowers, trimmers
  * Cleaning tools like vacuums and pressure washers 

Charging a Battery 

Preparation 

• Use the charger indoors, on a dry, non-combustible surface. 
• Ensure the power supply is 220–240V, 50Hz AC. 
• Keep the charger away from direct sunlight and heat sources. 

Charging Process 

• Insert the battery pack into the charger until it clicks into place. 
• Connect the charger to the power supply. 
• Charging begins automatically:  

  * Green LED flashing = charging
  * Green LED solid = fully charged 

Temperature Guidelines 

• Charge batteries in environments between 10°C and 37°C. 
• If the battery is hot, allow it to cool for ~30 minutes before charging. 
• If the battery is cold, let it warm to room temperature before charging. 

Completion 

• Once fully charged, disconnect the charger from power. 
• Press the battery latches and remove the battery from the charger.
