This item is $5 cheaper but it doesn't have an AC outlet. What is the advantage of buying this? Seems like I'd rather spend $5 more and get the outlet.
Links I'm interested in researching those

The advantage would be for charging devices that support USB-C PD. This Ryobi version would take 1.5-2 hours to charge an iPhone 16 at 12w (its USB port maximum) from 0-50%. Using the 3rd party one with USB-C PD it would charge at 27w from 0-50% in 30 minutes. The difference is more significant with devices that can handle even higher charge rates like iPad 35w and of course it can actually recharge a laptop 65w-100w as well. There are some other good examples in the Amazon reviews - like it doubling as an extremely fast Ryobi battery charger.
You could of course use AC charge adapters with the Ryobi to achieve the same speeds but you lose about 25% of the battery capacity in converting from DC-AC-DC.
I have both but use the USB-C PD version more often as it is more efficient and I don't have to mess with charging bricks. Just kinda depends what you are looking for.
