Often times a Ryobi battery will not charge because of the thermistor inside the battery case. Why is My 18v Ryobi Battery Not Charging? I’ll tell you what I learned as far as salvaging a Ryobi battery or retiring it for good.īelow is a video that I made that covers step-by-step the primary method discussed in this article. Some I could resurrect, and some were never coming back. In fact, we had a little graveyard for them on top of the old toolbox when I first hired on. My previous job in facilities maintenance gave me plenty of access to Ryobi “bad batteries”. The latter situation can be reversed by bypassing the battery control module if the battery is out of warranty. ![]() The reason for this can sometimes be reversed, and sometimes it is a lost cause.Ī Ryobi 18v battery will typically stop charging if it’s too hot or too cold, if one (or more) of the individual battery cells has an internal short, or if the overall voltage of all the cells has fallen below the minimum charge threshold of the charger. One of those issues is when you go to charge one of the batteries and find that the charger will no longer recognize it. Still, there are hiccups every once in a while that arise that render a tool inoperable. Ryobi brand tools are definitely not for someone who is in the construction business, but for the weekend warrior they tend to be reliable and durable enough. ![]()
