    Answer This Question

    Hello, Gjhogan - No, this mower uses one battery at a time. It has a single battery port for operation and a separate storage compartment to hold an extra battery. A battery in the storage compartment cannot power the unit; you must move it to the battery port to use it. If you need further support, then feel free to ask another question.

                  Lasted less than a season. Won't run even after a new battery and checking all common issues such as key and safety. Please don't waist your money and be weary of 5 star reviews from folks who have used it twice.

                        Good Mower, but plastic safety parts are an Achilles Heel
                        I've had this mower for almost a year. I don't have a lawn, but use it from may to June to mow seasonal grasses on about 1/3 acre. I like to mulch the dry grasses and it does a good job. The problem is two plastic parts have broken. 1. The rear rock guard is held on by a retaining rod through 1/4" soft plastic that broke after one season of use. 2. First day of use this year, the side chute spring loaded cover was broken through and into two pieces by a rock. There is a lot to like with this mower but I feel corners were cut on safety. Photos show the broken side chute and my fix for the rear rock guard using metal strapping.

                          Broken mower
                          I bought this mower in 2022 in 2025. It died. I think the motor burned out I should’ve bought a gas mower. I don’t know what to do now I have this mower sitting here in my garage worthless and the battery is still good. I have nothing that it fits. I’m afraid to buy a new one because of this problem.

                            Works great but wiring tastes too good
                            I bought this product at the end of last summer. Only used it a few times before fall arrived and my lawn went dormant. I stored it over winter in a lean-to protected from wind and weather with the battery removed and kept in the house. When I went to use it just now, the mower would not start. After trying a couple of batteries and checking the usual (key, switches, etc) I opened up the cover (just popped a couple of plastic wedges holding things together) and found small rodents had made a nice home inside during the winter and chewed all the wiring. I basically now have a virtually new shell with no working electronics. One would think Ryobi would seal the inside where the wiring is located against rodent intrusion; can't be that hard, but clearly they didn't. And I have found nothing on the internet like "replacement wiring harness for Ryobi" so I'm basically stuck. No, they didn't chew just one wire; they got all of them right down to the edge of the controller board. Good mower the little I got to use it. But you MUST store it securely indoors away from rodents if you want it to last. Ryobi, please consider sealing the motor compartment a little more effectively please!

                              Not worth moving on from gas mower
                              Based on the information, the Ryobi has more power than my 15 year old gas mower, but it doesn't seem like it. The Ryobi mower is just a toy that's only strength is cutting grass. It cuts grass well, but you would need to clean up every twig and leaf before cutting for the best look. It does not leave a clean finished landscaped look with nice lines, the battery barely covers my 1,800 square foot lawn, and the mulching is not good, hence the 2 stars. I prefer to mulch the fall leaves directly into the lawn for more nutrients for the soil. I have added 2 photos, one was with the Ryobi with about a quarter of the leaves fallen in October, and the other was a month later with my gas mower and the other 75% of the leaves fallen. The 15 year old gas mower wins.

                                I am extremely happy with the purchase of the Ryobi 40V walk behind lawnmower. I was hesitant to switch to electric after having used a gasoline powered mower forever. The Ryobi cuts and catches the cuttings as well as my previous 6.5 hp mower which it has replaced. Much lighter weight then the gas mower, which makes it much easier to push. I would not hesitate to recommend this mower to anyone interested in needing a great lawnmower. Lastly, the 6.0 ah battery had 3/4 of a full charge left after cutting my lawn for its first run. Another plus is that the battery is compatible with my other 40V Ryobi lawn maintenance tools.

                                I Love This RYOBI Mower🤩
                                Back in the day, I used a corded electric lawnmower. I gave up on it—hated when the cord got in the way of the mower blades! Fast forward a zillion years using a gas-powered lawnmower. The noise, smell, maintenance, blade sharpening, oil changes, trouble starting, etc., all left me wishing for something different! Now I have a RYOBI and I truly am impressed by its functionality. This RYOBI electric mower is a great upgrade. I have a fairly small yard, but I was concerned about needing a second—stand-by—battery. Not to worry. I’ve used the mower 3 times now in the 2 months I have had it, and the battery has plenty of charge to mow it my smallish lawn in one go. I only use the mower for mulching, so I’m not using the other options. This mower is light and quiet, and is super easy to charge and to start. I love the perks of no more gas cans, no more awkward fillings at gas stations, and no more oil or air filter changes!🤩

                                  Mower works great so far. Has a clean cut and the battery lasts long enough to do the front and back yard on my 2500 sq ft lot. Had some trouble cutting when I didn’t mow for a month but does great when mowing consistently. Would recommend.
