RYOBI’s 18V ONE+ and 40V labels identify distinct product systems; HP is a technology label, while Brushless describes a motor. They answer different questions, so none of those terms alone tells you whether a particular battery fits a particular tool.
What the labels tell you
A single product name can combine labels from different categories. RYOBI’s official HP catalog, for example, lists the PBLDD02B as an “18V ONE+ HP Brushless 1/2" Drill/Driver.” In that name, 18V ONE+ identifies the system, HP is a technology designation, and Brushless describes the motor. RYOBI’s HP catalog presents system filters separately from its HP technology filter and uses Brushless as another product descriptor.

18V ONE+, 40V, 80V and USB Lithium: system labels
The HP catalog displays 18V ONE+, 40V, 80V and USB Lithium as distinct system filters. These labels indicate which product system a listing belongs to; they are not interchangeable names for HP or Brushless. The catalog’s filter labels do not, by themselves, establish the battery compatibility rules for every product or model.

HP: a technology label
HP appears as a technology grouping in the catalog, separate from the system filters. Seeing HP in a product name therefore does not replace the system label: the PBLDD02B is identified as both 18V ONE+ and HP.
#1 Best Overall
- Read Before You Buy — No Video Output: These adapters support charging and USB 2.0 data transfer, but cannot transmit video signals. Except for standard USB webcams (which use USB data only), they are not compatible with HDMI/DisplayPort cables, video-capable USB-C hubs, or docking stations with video output.

- Aluminum Alloy Housing: Built with a sturdy aluminum alloy shell that aids in heat dissipation and protects against daily wear and scratches. Designed to maintain a stable and secure connection.
- Compact & Travel-Friendly: The ultra-compact design allows the adapter to stay plugged into your device without blocking adjacent ports or adding bulk, reducing wear and tear on your original USB ports.
- 12-Month Warranty: Backed by a 12-month manufacturer warranty for peace of mind. Designed to meet strict quality control standards for reliable everyday performance.
Brushless: a motor descriptor
Brushless identifies a motor construction descriptor in the product name. It is not the system designation. The catalog example combines Brushless with both 18V ONE+ and HP, showing that the terms describe separate aspects of one tool.
How to read a RYOBI product name
- Find the system label. Look for a designation such as 18V ONE+, 40V, 80V or USB Lithium.
- Read HP as a separate technology designation. It does not tell you which system the product belongs to.
- Read Brushless as a motor descriptor. It does not identify the system either.
- Check the exact tool and battery models before buying or connecting them. Use the product manual or RYOBI’s official compatibility information rather than inferring fit from the brand, HP or Brushless wording.
Why the system label matters when comparing tools
RYOBI’s mower catalog lists products identified as both 18V ONE+ and 40V, illustrating that different system labels appear across the same product category. That distinction is separate from descriptors such as HP. A mower’s category or technology label is not enough to establish battery fit; verify compatibility for the exact models in question.

What these labels do not prove
- HP alone does not identify the product system.
- Brushless alone does not identify the product system or establish battery fit.
- A shared brand name does not establish that two products use compatible batteries.
- The catalog’s system filters distinguish product groupings, but do not provide a general cross-system compatibility rule.
