Horrid power source. Buy 8, 9ah batteries and you can power a 1300watt device for 1 hour. Put 8 of your standard 4.0ah batteries and you can power a 1300 watt device for 20 minutes.

I agree, it's probably going to disappoint people who think it can power a fridge.

Standard outlet is on a 10 amp breaker, so 120v x 10a is 1200 watts. You get one hour at max draw with 8 of the largest batteries mounted (9ah). Realistically you'd get up to one work day running regular items intermittently, then 8 dead batteries and no power at all from a heavy brick. This would be terrible for heat, any space heater with kill this in a half hour. Once the batteries are dead, I'd imagine you can't charge them, since you know, you needed a portable power source to begin with.

Reviews also seem to say there's no pass through charging and it goes to sleep with a trickle charge after 12 hours. Solar and USB charging could potentially take a crazy long time.

I will say I have the 40v version of this and it has been a life saver on a couple of occasions. Power out for a whole day, it was able to run my sump pump and keep my basement from flooding. When the batteries died (I think about 8 or 9 hours in) I popped in a couple spares and took the others to someone's house with power and sequentially ran them thru my fast charger.

So it may not be for everyone but these can be useful for certain situations.

It can power a fridge. I have the 40v version, and it can and will definitely power a fridge, all day, with 4x 40v 6ah batteries. And I have 2-3 extras...

The problem with the 18v version, is that it's unlikely that folks will have 8+ 18v 6ah+ batteries, which is what one will really need, to make this a useful item for them.

Got a 8,000 btu inverter window ac. Normal draw is 350W on eco mode. After hitting 75F it turns off for about 13 mins. So on 4 min off 13 min. It use about 2k per 24 hours. When temp outside at 80-90.. I think I had 6/6/4/4 Ah (20Ahx 40V= 800w). Barely got me through the night. So calculated power is matching if you add the power DC to AC lost. It didn't fit my need, even at DTO price of unit only for $400. I could do better making my own. I heard it have issue reading and doing calculations with with older batteries.

It also only charge batteries one at a time, so 4-6 hr per battery. If you planing on using this top off during the day with a generator. Then using it at the night for no sound.... Don't bother.

If you own like 8 batteries and have a setup to just charge 2-3 at time... It might be worth it. Not having to build your own.

Current 12V 100Ah lifepo4 with charger $250. That is 1200W. Add DC to AC inverter to make your need $20-150.

There is a big difference between the 40v version vs the 18v version vs other options depending on your power needs.

Here is the maths for Wh conversions:
With 4 6Ah batteries the 40v version has 960Wh.
4 x 6Ah @40v = 24Ah@40v = 960Wh.
For context, it could hypothetically run my 275w kitchen refrigerator for 3.49hrs, or a 100w TV for around 9.6 hrs.

With 4 6Ah batteries the 18v version: 432Wh.
4 x 6Ah @40v = 24Ah@18v = 432Wh.
For context, it could hypothetically run my 275w kitchen refrigerator for 1.57hrs, or a 100w TV for around 4.32hrs.

For comparison, you can get a bigger capacity Anker 535 Portable Power Station, with 512Wh and LiFePO4 batteries on Amazon right now for $349.00. The anker's downside is that it is limited to 500w for AC power and you can not hot swap batteries. So unless you have a lot of Ryobi batteries, or you have a specific use case that this fits, I would look for a different solution.

Apples to Crabapples

Basically you need 8x the 18v, to equal 4x the 40v (really 36v)

I am a Ryobi fan boi and heavily invested in the 18v One+ ecosystem. But I absolutely do not get the value proposition of this product. You can get a much more capable AC/DC power station for this kind of money.

At this price, with using 18v batteries (and needing 8x of them for the full 1800W capacity), it honestly doesnt make sense.

I have the 40v version, and ONLY got mine because DTO was clearing them out for $300 each (60% less than the 18v currently costs), and I have 6+ 40v batteries (which equals 12+ 18v batteries).

If you are invested in the 40v system, you are likely to have 4+ batteries.

Not sure how many folks have 8+ 18v batteries, as having that many generally doesnt make sense.

I wish Makita had one of these for their 18v lithium batteries.

Its a killer concept, but because all of these batteries use proprietary connectors and only work with ryobi tools, it really kills the entire idea.
