Community Reviews
This RIDGID inverter kit stands out as a handy add on for anyone already in the RIDGID ecosystem, especially at this price with the extra charger and 2.0 Ah Max Output battery included. The inverter has proven useful for camping, power outages, and frequent USB C charging, with one long term user charging a Galaxy S24 Ultra in under an hour. The main caution is that it uses modified sine wave output, which can be rough on sensitive electronics, and this version does not charge the battery via USB C. It is a practical power kit if those limits are not a problem.
Common Questions (5)
No. This RIDGID version does not charge the battery through USB-C, and the USB-C port is for output; it sits directly below the two USB-A ports.
Yes. The inverter uses modified sine wave output, which can cause issues with sensitive electronics like computers and TVs. It is still useful for camping, outages, and general charging, but not ideal for delicate AC-powered devices.
Yes. The kit is considered strong value because it includes the inverter, a 2.0 Ah MAX Output battery, and an extra charger, and some paid $69 for the inverter alone.
It works well for camping and during power outages, and the USB-C port can deliver enough power to charge a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra in under an hour with super fast charging.
RIDGID batteries may be sensitive to moisture; one report says morning dew has killed multiple batteries. That makes dry storage and keeping spares useful if the tools will be used outdoors.
