How long the battery lasts will be dependent on which setting you have your vacuum at. There are two sucking modes, one that maximizes the intensity of the vacuuming and the other to maximize the longevity with which you can use it. The high-intensity mode utilizing that included 4AH battery will get you about 25 minutes of vacuuming time, whereas the lower mode will get you about 45 on a full charge. Those usage times will go down for 1.5 or 2AH batteries and go up for 8 or 12AH ones, which are all available from Ryobi. You are able to pick up other batteries from the Ryobi 18V ONE+ system that retail anywhere from $49.97 to $199, depending on either the size of the battery or the number of batteries in a bundle. All of them will work with the six-gallon wet-dry vacuum.
One of the reasons Ryobi power tools are so appealing is the company’s ONE+ battery tool system. If a tool is part of this, you are able to utilize the same 18V battery on over 300 different tools from the company, including drills, trimmers, glue guns, lights, and more. The ONE+ system also includes the Ryobi wet-dry vacuum, so if you already have the 18V batteries from other Ryobi tools you’ve purchased, all you have to do is purchase the vacuum for $149. However, if you do need a ONE+ battery, you can purchase a bundle with the vacuum, an 18V 4AH battery, and a charger for a total of $199.
