Lmfao, I have enough sh*t sitting unused in my house. Buy a real portable Power station not this cheap sh*t. Beside camping, I don't see a use for this.

The benefits of this are if you already own a few batteries its dirt cheap for a very effective power station if you don't need high wattage. Also, Ridgid shit aint cheap shit lol.

If my quick google is correct, 2 amp hours is about 240watt hours. So even if you only have 1 other 2 amp hour battery, you would have a 480 watt hour power station for $90.
If you have larger 4 or 6amp hour batteries already its a no brainer.

Are you sure the math is correct? The Jackery Explorer 500 has a 518 watt-hour (24Ah, 21.6V) lithium-ion battery pack. Seems like we would need 12 or the 2ah batteries or 6 4ah to come close to your figures. The power stations are way too expensive for me so I bought this ridgid one but I don't think it has the same capacity.

We don't know what blender you have, but you do. Does it use less than 175 watts?

Damn was waiting for this to get cheaper at HD or Directools, but I guess I'll bite on this since I have all Ridgid tools mostly bought on clearance or cheap from Direct tools. Will go well with my 9ah or 6ah batteries Smilie

My usage for this will mostly be to power lights and other things for the Gazebo and outdoor kitchen I'm building. This and my small solar power system should do it and batteries will also be charged with solar.

Can't never have too many batteries with lifetime warranty (1x2ah, 2x3ah, 1x4ah, 1x6ah and 1x9ah). Love Ridgid tools decent quality for diy and can be found even cheaper than Ryobi.

Cool, how much longer does it last compare to a portable power bank? I only think of 1 use for it is charging my phone when fishing.

Without a sale, the battery is worth, what, $50?
And the inverter is ~$40.
Why is this so popular? Doesn't seem like a sale.

Ridgid finally promotes this inverter, I have many ridgid batteries with lifetime warranty, with this, it seems I have a guaranty for energy storage system in the future.

Do we need to find a safe space for you?

Hurricanes
Power outages and need to keep a computer loaded or run a light/fan
Work shed
People on the road that need extra juice
People with a lot of batteries that just want to buy it

Obviously not for you, move on and quit crapping the post
