If you are in the Ridgid environment and have charged batteries laying around- jump on one of these!!

Super helpful in all kinds of random situations.. keep lights on during a storm, run your router and wifi even. Take it camping to run string lights and charge stuff or run a small air pump to inflate mattresses. power a work from home computer set up, etc. I use mine sporadically multiple times a year, and I always have six fully charged batteries sitting there at the ready too which means I have portable sporadic AC power whenever or wherever I need it.

Is this packaged in a way that the battery and charger could be returned?

Would it be better to go for the 2 4Ah version for $149?

The last three times I've bought Ridgid tools has been on homedepot.com and I upload my receipt + I attach my online order #. It always initially accepts it but then it never goes through. I ALWAYS have to call TTI and tell them I already uploaded my receipt. They always ask me for a receipt and I tell them "No, I uploaded it and I don't need to do it again. Look on your end for it" So they do and about 5 minutes later they come back and say "Ok I changed your status to LSA approved" Then, I go and refresh the page on the registration toolkit and it is in fact changed.

What I'm wondering is, are they kinda doing this on purpose? It's a good 30 minutes out of my day each time I have to call and have them manually approve this. Just sorta feels like weaponized incompetence because if I wasn't on top of it, my 90 day timer would run out and I wouldn't have LSA at all.

I did have to use the warranty once for a battery that stopped taking a charge and it went very smoothly.

P.S. I bought this. Don't need it, but seems very handy, especially for backup situations until I get my solar generator.

If you ask me the 30 minutes is worth it for the LSA, I had this very product fail and they emailed me a prepaid shipping label, I mailed them the failed inverter and they mailed me a new one after a couple of weeks free of charge.

I ran into registering issues a few times, and it came down to my email address being different between Homedepot and the Ridgid warranty site. After I changed them to the same, all my online registrations went through with no issues.

175W is a bit too low to be practical more than your average usb charger.

I'm thinking this is a better deal than the Ryobi150-Watt Push Start Power Source and Charger for ONE+ 18-Volt Battery (Tool Only) that is also ongoing. The Ridgid has 175 watt capacity, and the lifetime warrantee, may have to rethink my Ryobi purchase.

I always have to contact them as well for LSA now. I figure it's intentional at this point.

I have same Thought. Ridgid has lifetime warranty versus ryobi's, for every product?

I'm stuck in the Hitachi/Metabo environment and have found one for me.

Not sure if/when I'll need this, but seems like a good thing to have on hand for those unexpected situations.
