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..

Quote from BrianHSV :
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)?
Absolutely!! Just make sure the adapter comes with 12AWG wire to support the current, and make sure it's at least 12" in length to allow for positioning the battery on top of the unit or on the same surface as the EcoFlow. Otherwise the shorter cable results in the battery dangling from the unit's XT-60 port and may be unsafe. The Delta Mini pulls in about 150-160 watts into the unit from an 18v battery, and the River Mini is capped at 100 watts of input. This works with most, if not all 18/20/24 volt tool batteries. I've been buying used batteries from different manufacturers on OfferUp to experiment and so far all have worked. As long as the EcoFlow unit supports the voltage. The Delta Mini supports 11-75 volts of input and the River Mini supports 11-39 volts. I've even tried charging the Delta Mini with my 62v Green Machine batteries and worked like a charm and maxed out at 300 watts of input. I'm happy to share more details and results of my experiments if you're interested.

How do I get 1800 Watts output doing it this way?

The solar/power station you select has to have the ability to output 1800 watts continuously. In my case I get 1400 watts of continuous output on the Delta Mini with a surge of up to 2100 watts, so you would need to bump up to the next model that supports 1800 watts continuous (Delta or Delta 2??). This is independent of the batteries you are using to charge it, unlike the Ryobi unit which sounds like it needs to have at least 4 or more 18v batteries to get the full 1800 watts of output. But I believe most of these units can be charged using this method I've described. I'm not a fanboy of EcoFlow, that's just the platform I chose when I first got started and it's worked out really well so I'm just sharing my personal experience. Bluetti or Jackery or the various others might have similar functionality.

I still don't understand - if the battery in the EcoFlow/Bluetti/Jackery is drained, I don't see how I can hook up 1 Ryobi 18V and get a continuous 1800 (or even 1400) watts of output from the system. It seems like that would drain the 18V battery really quickly (if the battery could even supply enough current to produce that output), and I don't know how I can hot swap the batteries to keep whatever is plugged in from shutting down. Do you hook multiple battery adapters up in parallel?

The 3 year warranty from Ryobi is nice.

No, you're right. That would not be possible. A small 18v battery could never keep up. If I drain my EcoFlow fully, I recharge it up to a certain level with the batteries before I start to use it again and then keep swapping batteries once they drain on my single adapter. And even then I hardly use more than 500-600 watts of output for my needs. It's just nice to be able to put my batteries to work besides just powering my tools. Not sure what a good solution would be for your use case as it sounds like you need a continuous 1800 watt draw for an extended period of time. Besides a gas generator as another user had mentioned.

The good solution for my use case is the product listed in the OP - that's my point. This is made for people that own a large number of Ryobi batteries and want to put them to use as a means of providing fairly high output AC power. You shouldn't compare your setup, where you use the 18V batteries to charge your standalone power station, with this where the batteries are the power source. Your setup is nice, and it serves your purpose, but it's not the same as this product.

$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.
I can be paralleled and it is a pure sine wave inverter. Asking additionally for the output you would expect from a 240V is a bit much for this price range.
You also get an 8 port 60W charger, something you can't buy at all.
I have one of these and I find it very worth it, if you already have the batteries.

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.
Battery management system?

I'm a huge Ryobi fan, but I completely fail to see the value proposition of this product at this price.

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
It's not going to be for everyone, if you think it's only useful camping, you are way better off with the 18v 150w inverter or the 40v 300w inverter. This is supposed to replace a gas generator you would use during power outages. Contractors would have one on site because it makes no sense to replace perfectly good tools just because there is a battery version. Some you won't want to replace with a battery version, talking miter saws, augers, mixers, etc. My favorite example is the $20 HF grinder works better than a cordless brushless all day long and it's over $40 cheaper. Why would I run the grinder for 12-15 minutes per battery when a cheap corded version will run all day long? Why pay to limit myself to 18v max power? Battery is a convenience that's inconvenient when the tool is a power hog and going to be used a lot.

With that all said this is way overpriced for what you get. You can spend the same and get more capacity and utility (higher output) from an all in one unit. You won't be able to swap batteries, but that's not really worth the premium. If they could get the bare tool down to something reasonable so we could use our already owned batteries in a extra 'just in case' way like the inverters it would make sense.

Someone brought up this is a multiport charger. If you have 8 batteries already, I guarantee you were given a charger per 2 batteries and probably have 8 of them you should try to give to family and friends lol. I don't know why Ryobi fans act like they can't just plug in 6-8 chargers even if they had to use a couple power strips. The chargers use less than 70 watts each, so even hooking up 10 is less than 700 watts. That's no where near a microwave, toaster, small electric oven, or electric heater. The multiport chargers charge one battery at a time so it takes longer, don't try to sell me that as an advantage. I rather trickle charge my batteries if I could, but that's not what I'm getting from any multiport charger anyway.

This concept had so much potential. 60W solar input is a joke.

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.
But the point is why would you need to ??
The unit by itself is $650. If you can get a power station that is also ~$650 with higher capacity and no need to switch batteries in and out, why would you need to touch your Ryobi batteries ?

There are lots of other uses other than camping. Maybe your at an event , youth sports tournament , tailgating , basically anything you might need power for away from an outlet...blowing up a bounce house in the middle of a field , lots of things .

I agree, for this price it should come with mppt solar input and allow pass-through power/charge
