RYOBI 40-Volt Lithium-Ion 2.6Ah Battery - (Bulk Packaged)

What It Is

This is a Ryobi 40-Volt 2.6Ah lithium-ion battery (bulk packaged, no retail box) designed to power Ryobi 40V outdoor equipment—trimmers, blowers, chainsaws, mowers, and more. It’s a mid-capacity option for daily yard work.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Check your tool’s voltage: Only for Ryobi 40V tools (not 18V or 24V). Works with all Ryobi 40V chargers.
• Model number: Look for OP4026, PBP002, or compatible replacements. Bulk packaging means no individual model sticker—verify by battery shape (slotted slide-in mount).
• Deck/footprint: Fits all current Ryobi 40V mowers (e.g., RY40180, RY40190) but not older 36V or 18V models. Measure battery bay: this is 6.3 x 3.1 x 4.3 inches.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is genuine Ryobi OEM, not third-party. No adapter needed for Ryobi tools.

Key Things to Know

• Quality & lifespan: Lithium-ion, no memory effect. Expect ~2-3 years with regular use. Bulk packaging may have minor cosmetic scuffs—function is identical to retail versions.
• Installation: Snap-in fit, no tools. Press down until latch clicks. Remove by pressing release button and sliding out.
• Common gotcha: 2.6Ah capacity is lower than 4.0Ah or 5.0Ah options—good for 20-30 minutes on a string trimmer but may need a spare for larger mowers. Bulk pack may ship with a generic label; verify it’s genuine by checking the Ryobi logo and serial number under the battery base.
• Charging: Use only Ryobi 40V charger (sold separately). Full charge time ~90 minutes.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a reliable, OEM replacement for a Ryobi 40V tool and don’t mind bulk packaging to save a few dollars. It’s ideal for light-to-medium tasks but not for heavy-duty mowing—consider a higher Ah (4.0 or 5.0) if you need longer runtime.
