toolboy's Corner: Ryobi 18v Tools

Which batteries are compatible with my tools?

As far as I can tell, any 18v Ryobi battery will work with any 18v Ryobi tool.

I personally own and use a variety of Ryobi 18v tools, from Ryobi's oldest to newest lines. I have used these tools with 1322401 and P100 NiCad, P103 and P104 Lithium Ion batteries, and P191, P192, and P194 Lithium+ HP batteries. From Ryobi's oldest line of 18v blue tools I own a SA1802 drill, a CS1800 chainsaw, and a VC180 "Tuff Sucker" vacuum. From Ryobi's "One+" line of 18v blue tools I own a P220 Hammer Drill, a P240 Right-Angle drill, a P300 Nailer/Stapler, a P500 Circular saw with laser, and many others. From the newest "Lithium" line of 18v neon green tools I own P202 and P203 drills, a P252 BRUSHLESS drill, a P513 Reciprocating Saw, and others. In 2020 Ryobi released a line of compact brushless tools. All of these tools (and many more) are compatible with all of the batteries mentioned on this page.



Below is a table listing all the Ryobi 18v cordless tools. All tools are compatible with all 18v Lithium Ion batteries, models P100, P102, P103, P104, P105, P107, P108, P189, P190, P191, P192, P193, P194, P195, P197, PBP002, PBP003, PBP005, PBP006, PBP007. They are also compatible with the P100 Nickel Cadmium Batteries, and even the old 1322401 and 1400672 Nickel Cadmium batteries. No doubt the table below is incomplete; I'll add to it as I find other compatible tools. Note: The list includes the model # of bare tools only. The model #s of Ryobi "kits" are not included in this list.

I don't see a specific tool model # on the list which I'm looking for. What's up with that?

First of all, it's possible that I've missed something. This would likely be the case if the tool you're looking for has just been announced or if it has been available for just a few months. It's also possible that I've missed some very old 18v tools which predate the "One+" description (before 2004). It's possible that the tool you're looking for is not available in the USA, or perhaps it was released with a different model number in the USA as compared with other countries/markets.

One often overlooked possibility is that the model # you're looking for is incorrect because you're looking for the model # of a kit, not the model # of a bare tool. I suspect that Ryobi has caused a lot of confusion over the nomenclature of their tool kits vs bare tools. Ryobi has marketed some tool kits using the model # of the tool plus the letter "K" to indicate the kit. Ryobi has marketed other took kits using a different but similar number for the kit vs bare tool. Ryobi markets kits containing multiple power tools with completely different model #s. Ryobi markets power tool combos which include a power tool kit plus an off-the-shelf accessory kit as a combination of model #s. Some examples:
Finally, sometimes Ryobi adds letters to the end of a model # (perhaps denoting a small revision to the tool?). I did not include all such variants in the table below. For example, Ryobi has released an impact driver model P235 and an impact driver model P235A. FYI:

Ryobi has improved performance specs over time

Probably. But if they calculate tool specifications based on using batteries available at the time each tool is released, then it could well be that battery technology is responsible for some of the improvements over time. Read on for more details.

If I use a bigger battery will my tool perform "better", or just last longer?

Well that depends on the tool, but for many power hungry tools the simple fact is that YES your battery selection can affect tool performance! See the Ryobi 18v Battery Stress Test for details. In general, larger capacity batteries are capable of delivering more current when needed. Ryobi 18v battery packs are manufactured with 5, 10, or 15 individual cells, arranged in strings of 5. If the battery has just one string of 5 cells, then every cell must supply the full amount of current required by the tool. If the battery has 10 cells (2 strings of 5), then each cell must supply only HALF as much current as the 5 cell battery to deliver the same amount of current to the tool. A battery with 15 cells (3 strings of 5) will deliver the same current as the 5 cell battery with just one third of the current from each cell. Phrased another way, if the 5 cell battery can deliver X amps of current to a tool, then the 10 cell battery should be able to deliver 2X that current and a 15 cell pack should be able to deliver 3X that current (assuming the same cell capacity for all).

Also bear in mind that individual cell capacity can greatly influence the amount of current that an 18v battery pack can deliver. Broadly speaking, manufacturer specifications for the cells used in the Ryobi 18v batteries indicate a maximum continuous safe discharge rate of 10C, or 10 times the Amp-hour rating of the cells. (Sure, they can safely deliver more for a short duration, but this figure gives us a reasonable point for comparison.) A P102 battery contains five 1.3Ah 18650 cells (1x5), so the max continuous discharge rate will be (1.3Ah)(10C) = 13 Amps. A P108 battery contains ten 2.0Ah 18650 cells (2x5), so the max continuous discharge rate will be (2)(2.0Ah)(10C) = 40 Amps. A P194 battery contains fifteen 3.0Ah 18650 cells (3x5), so the max continuous discharge rate will be (3)(3.0Ah)(10C) = 90 Amps. So a tool which wants a short burst of 40A may not be able to get that from a P102, whereas the P108 won't have to exceed manufacturer specs to deliver and the P194 won't even break a sweat.

I've found one place where Ryobi hints at the fact that battery selection influences tool performance. Read the description for the Ryobi Model P215K kit on the Home Depot website. This kit comes with a P215 drill, a P189 battery, and a P118B charger. The drill is described as having "up to 500 in. lbs. of torque" in one place, but in another place it states "Up to 500 in./lbs. of torque (using a P194 9.0 AH LITHIUM+ HP Battery, not included)". (This verbiage is also present in the description of the bare tool P215BN and several combo kits.) That's right -- the kit includes a 5-cell 1.5Ah P189 battery, but in order to achieve the full 500 in-lb of torque we'll need to use a 15-cell 9Ah P194 battery. How much torque will the drill deliver with the P189 battery? There's no way of knowing with what's been stated, but you can bet it'll be less than 500 in-lb.
