Will This Battery Work in Your Tool?
RYOBI states that its 18V ONE+ batteries are compatible with any RYOBI 18V ONE+ product. Run this quick check before you buy.
RYOBI 40V batteries are a separate system, and the PBP006 does not power 40V products. RYOBI also sells other 2Ah packs, such as a HIGH PERFORMANCE version, which is why the model code on your pack should read PBP006.
