Greenworks‘ mower batteries are shorter and wider than Ryobi’s equivalent batteries, making the latter impossible to install in Greenworks mowers.
Battery-powered tools have become increasingly prevalent, and we’re even seeing several major brands start offering battery-powered lawn mowers. Two such names are Ryobi and Greenworks, which compete directly in the mower market. Each offers several different cordless and gas-free lawn mower options, but while they may have similar products, you’ll have to stick to one of the two, as there’s no battery interchangeability between the two.
Ryobi batteries aren’t compatible with Greenworks lawn mowers, due to a design that blocks users from safely installing Ryobi batteries in the latter. Ryobi batteries are taller and more slender than the comparable Greenworks batteries used in the brand’s mowers for mower use. Owners note that this design makes Ryobi batteries too large to fit properly in a Greenworks mower’s battery port, so a Greenworks battery is essential.
