It's just weird that Ryobi uses nominal voltage with their 18v line, but fully charged no load voltage with their 40v line. There should be consistency.
They might as well call their 18v line 20v, and trick everyone into thinking it's 2v better than competitors.

And My 80-V Cobalt and 80-V Atlas mowers do exactly the same thing, as if under light load, their just 'loafing' on half-voltage.
A VOM shows that the pack IS 'compartmentalized', into two 40-V 'halves.'

I need to figure out how to trigger that state with a button because it's useful to have higher blade speed when picking up leaves.
