The Ryobi 40V Lithium Battery is designed with fast charging in mind, giving homeowners and professionals less downtime between tasks. On average, a standard 40V 4.0Ah battery takes about 60 minutes to fully recharge, while higher capacity packs may take longer. For lighter tools like trimmers, a single charge often outlasts the job itself, making speed less of a concern. However, when powering mowers or blowers, recharge time can feel more critical. Ryobi’s fast charger helps cut waiting time, making it easier to keep projects moving. Still, the question remains: is one hour fast enough for today’s demanding yard work? For most users, the balance between runtime and recharge speed makes Ryobi’s 40V battery system reliable. It’s an option that saves both time and frustration compared to gas refueling.
