NOTE: A completely discharged battery (sleep mode) needs reactivation before the charging process begins. To reactivate a battery in sleep mode, place the battery in the charger and wait for 90 seconds. If the charging process does not begin, please remove the battery and wait for 30 seconds.
It is due to the fact that the battery needs an additional charge time. This is likely to occur during the first charge cycle after purchasing the battery, or if the battery has been conditioned. Remove the battery from the charger and place it back on to complete another charging cycle.

Ryobi 18V blower model p2100A has a broken impeller. How do I get a replacement part?
ANSWER : Ryobi does have an impeller that fits the 40400 model which is a bigger 40v unit! however the fan looks the same in the pic,
I’m guessing it may be scaled up to a larger size but perhaps have the same thread pattern?
anyway we love our two p2102 blowers they keep the porches and decks happy!
I’m gonna buy a few impellers and try to finagle them!
my guess is I may have to hook them up to a drill and use a file to cut them down to size (like you would use a wood lathe)
thus keeping the thing round and true
hope this helps I found the thing on ereplacementparts.com
price 2.60$ per impeller, worth a shot!!
ill post a youtube if this works!
