And the question is "What do I no longer have to buy or store?"

While $100 for 24aH worth of batteries is a good deal, the stand alone unit with no batteries for $650 seems really overpriced.

Waay over-priced. Got my 40v equivalent on clearance for $325, from DTO. Now THAT was a SLICKDEAL..

I think it's going to be a long time before the price of this thing reaches reasonability. As someone with tons of Ryobi tools and batteries, even at this price it's just not worth it. Looking at one example competitor - Bluetti which isn't a particularly cheap product, you can get the EB70S which has 800W output and 716Wh (compared to this unit's 1800W output and 432Wh as-is). If you wanted to go up to the 1800W model model with 1152Wh (AC180/P,) you're still cheaper than this one at $669, and you can get even further discounts with this like shop cash and coupons that are available regularly.

I think the base unit without batteries is going to have to reach sub $200 to even be competitive.

For the record I don't own any Bluetti products so I can't speak of their quality or reliability, they are just a common brand that came up researching products in this sector.

I just don't see a point for generators like this other than camping? Tools are basically all battery operated now so what's the need for this

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank sdfan214

I like Ryobi, but if you don't need 1800 watts and are ok with 1400 watts, I got the EcoFlow Delta Mini refurbished on eBay for $425, plus a 2-pack of Renogy 100 watt solar panels with branch connector for under $200. So around $675 after tax for 882 watt hours plus another 500-900 watt hours of solar daily in SoCal (depending on weather). 4 of these 6Ah 18v batteries is only 432 watt hours. And unless I'm mistaken, this Ryobi also doesn't offer pass-through charging like the EcoFlow unit. Just sayin…

Ouch, I just bought the bare tool 2 weeks ago for $599. I would have loved the 6 Ah HP batteries x4 for the $150 delta.

I'm going to call customer service and see if there's anything I can do.... I already tossed the box so return/rebuy might be iffy.

At the very least if they don't do the return/repurchase for you, you can buy it at the cheaper price then don't open it and return it using your receipt from the earlier purchase.

It's an interesting solution but Ryobi batteries just aren't good enough to justify investing in high end tools. Their BMS's on the batteries are terrible, on both 18v and 40v. For this kind of money you can get a much better battery storage.

Is this hackable ….. I could use 4 big batteries ?
Doesn't look like it. It's a combined listing and not listed as a free gift. It'll be under 1 sku and not returnable separately.

Makes sense considering how dirt cheap they let them go for, but then again you have the 12.0 (and maybe 8.0?) Milwaukee batts failing everywhere, only charging to 2 or 3 bars. And also have heard a number of people have issues with certain flexvolts. Seems to be a crapshoot.

Awesome. How do I hot-swap the ~20 ryobi batteries that I already own into the EcoFlow or Bluetti? This is what people don't seem to realize - these power stations are for people that already own a significant number of batteries. You aren't buying this for the watt hours that are included in the package, you're buying it to utilize the watt hours already sitting in your garage.

I do it all the time. I bought a $12 "Power Wheels Adapter" for Ryobi 18v (a Ridgid one as well) with an XT-60 connected at the end and I use my 18v batteries to charge my EcoFlow units on rainy/cloudy days or while camping and then recharge everything when it's sunny again. I actually own the EcoFlow Mini as well to run my CPAP machine every night and keep it charged up using this method. I haven't plugged my EcoFlow Mini into the wall outlet since I bought it. As a matter of fact I haven't charged my power tool batteries via a wall outlet either. All get charged up using solar and these solar power stations. YouTube has several videos on this topic. It's been a lot fun working on these kinds of projects.

So, you can drain your EcoFlow battery and run it off of Ryobi batteries? You actually get enough output from the adapter to power stuff with the Ryobi (as opposed to simply charging the EcoFlow)?

They had a 50% off sale earlier this year, which is when I grabbed it. Don't think it's available now
I missed it during that sale and have been looking for it since then. It's not even on the DTO website any more.

$200 can get you a cheap sine wave inverter. I agree that $650 is too much, but I wouldn't expect this to be that cheap.

If it could be parallel to make pure sine 120v/240v I'd buy them at 650 each.
