If you have both RYOBI 18V ONE+ and 40V batteries, the RYOBI ONE+ 18V/40V Dual Platform Charger (PCG007) will charge either one. That does not mean the batteries or tools swap between platforms — it means one charger can service two separate systems.
This is a real difference from DeWalt and Milwaukee. Neither of those brands sells a single charger that explicitly covers two distinct voltage platforms the way RYOBI does here. RYOBI describes the PCG007 as able to “Charge Any RYOBI 18V ONE+ or 40V Battery,” with the key detail being that they are charged separately, not merged into one interchangeable lineup. No RYOBI page claims 18V ONE+ and 40V tools or batteries are interchangeable, and this guide is not implying it either.
What the dual-platform charger actually delivers
The PCG007 is essentially a bench-space saver. If you keep 18V ONE+ tools for lighter work and 40V tools for yard equipment, you can drop either battery onto the same charger instead of keeping two units around. RYOBI also pitches it as a performance charger: it calls the unit the “Fastest 18V ONE+ Charger,” with the ability to charge a “RYOBI 18V ONE+ 4Ah Lithium HIGH PERFORMANCE EDGE Battery in 15 Mins.” On the 40V side, RYOBI states it offers “4X Faster 40V Charging,” charging a “RYOBI 40V 6Ah Battery in 1 Hr.”
Those are useful speed claims if you are already invested in both platforms. But they do not change the underlying architecture. The 18V ONE+ ecosystem and the 40V ecosystem remain separate product families, bridged only at the charging dock.
Where the real flexibility lives
For actual portable power, the more interesting accessory is the RYOBI 18V ONE+ 150W Power Source. RYOBI lists it with “150-Watts of continuous output,” and it “Fits all RYOBI 18V ONE+ batteries.” It also includes “(1) 120-Volt outlet, (2) Fast Charging USB-A outlets and (1) Fast Charging USB-C outlet,” and “also acts as a charger, allowing you to recharge your ONE+ batteries through the USB-C port.”
That last part is worth noticing. Most power-source accessories from other brands on this site are basically inverters: plug in a battery, get AC or USB out. RYOBI goes further and says this unit supports “Universal Charging… by Household Outlet, In-Car Charging and even Solar Charging.” That is a broader charging-input claim than the equivalent accessories from DeWalt, Milwaukee, or Craftsman covered here. In practical terms, you can top off an 18V ONE+ battery from a wall socket, a car outlet, or a solar panel — useful for camping, jobsites without reliable power, or emergency kits.
Still, the Power Source is 18V ONE+ only. It will not accept a 40V battery, and it does not turn an 18V battery into a 40V substitute.
The bottom line
Owning the RYOBI dual-platform charger does not mean you can put a 40V battery in an 18V ONE+ tool or vice versa. RYOBI never says that anywhere, and this guide is not implying it either. What the PCG007 actually gets you is simpler: one charger on your bench instead of two, if you already own tools from both RYOBI voltage families.
For real versatility away from the wall, the 18V ONE+ 150W Power Source is the more flexible pick. It is the rare accessory on this site with solar and in-car charging built in, not just a standard wall outlet. If you are trying to keep one RYOBI ecosystem lean, that is the kind of cross-use accessory that adds actual utility without pretending two different voltage platforms are the same thing.
