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

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.

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.

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