    Great video! Very comprehensive and answered all the questions anyone should have. I've had a Canadian Tire Power Box since 2021 which is lead acid and plugged 24/7 all these years and it still works like a top. Use it for lights during power outages and we all know lights are the most important during an outage but it also boosts a dead battery up to 650 cranking amps up to 30 boosts on a single charge and I've done it. Lithium ion and new tech make this even better and lighter. Every home should have one or more .... Cheers from Nova Scotia

    I really wanted to buy one of these, but there just isn't the value preposition unless you are neck deep in spare 40v Ryobi batteries. The EcoFlow DELTA with 1260Wh regularly goes on sale for $800. This Ryobi power station costs $700 for the tool only version or $900 with two 6Ah batteries included at my local Home Depot, and then I'd have to find (or buy) the remaining 6AH batteries just to get to the 864Wh you calculated. I think I'll stick with the one that costs less, has greater capacity, and has more features.

    Two things??
    1. When you connect them together and run them in parallel, does that bring up the continuous output to 3000Watts?
    2. I would love to see two of these connected together in parallel running 12AH batteries in all 8 bays!!! And re run the test to did in this video.
    Thank you so much for creating this video!!!

    • @Shoptoolreviews
      @Shoptoolreviews  2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      1. Yes, this doubles the output to 3,200 Watts continuous (1,600 x 2).
      2. We could do that, but it would require a second power station and the additional 7x 12Ah batteries. Really, all you need to do is make the calculations based on the Wh out, and it will tell you everything you need to know.

    Looks awesome, a shame Ryobi doesn't sell it as a kit with the bigger 7.5Ah batteries. 4 6Ah would be great, but 4 7.5's would be outstanding., And right now the kit with the 4 6Ah batteries costs less than just 4 6Ah batteries on it's own. Buying the tool only and buying 4 batteries winds up being over twice as much $$$.

    This is a very interesting tool. If you have the batteries already, the math changes, and it could potentially take over the solar power generator market. This iteration of the tool, does not quite provide all the features and options that are needed, but the national distribution and ability to easily replace batteries, make for some interesting potential. I have a large number of Rybobi 18 volt tools and batteries and got the small brother of this unit that runs on one 18 volt battery. In a power out situation, it can handle lots of the little loads. (internet router, LED lights, TV ect) with multiple batteries. Allowing one to utilize existing batteries in another situation has benefits. These solar power generators are generally meant to run the small loads, at full capacity, running a Gas powered generator is going to make more sense for longer times. However, if you are a trades person and you need something simple intermittently at a job site. (like a soldering iron, microwave or air compressor) this can fit the bill. I expect the next version will turn this into a fast charger, and provide solar inputs, so it can fully compete in the off grid market. At full loads, this device only has 30 minutes of power, but most people will run this for tiny loads, CPAP machines, fish tank air pumps, and coffee makers. Potentially, this could power an air compressor, cut down on job site noise, (no noisy generator running), and can handle all the standard corded power tools needed in a remodel. Lots of people still have corded tools that are used intermittently.

  • @BasicMike
    @BasicMike 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Gotta question: I noticed that the power station doesn't have any ports to plug in solar panels. I was wondering if it would be possible to charge the batteries using solar panels plugged directly into a separate inverter? The theory is that you don't need batteries to run the inverter, and as long as I'm only using the inverter to power the battery charger during the day, I should be able to use the power station in the same way I would use a backup generator at night. Crazy? Maybe not. Have you seen the price of a PowerWall or one of those solar generators? This would be a lot cheaper. Plus, with the separate solar panels and inverter, I could power my essentials forever! Or at least until something breaks.

    Thanks for the video - it's the things like 1800W for 3min vs 1600W continuous that have caused me to start reading the available electronic manuals before I buy the tools.
    A person can find some interesting things that may make them reconsider buying the item from time to time. For example the statement "Operations such as sanding, wire brushing, polishing or cutting-off are not recommended to be performed with this power tool." I read in the Makita LXT die grinder manual --- after buying it. Fortunately that's not what I bought it for though it would have been an unpleasant surprise if I had...

    So if I want to use this station to power small 12V devices, does that mean I have less watt-hours, and therefore less runtime with 12V devices? I.e. 12v * 6Ah = 72 watt-hours.

    • @penitent2401
      @penitent2401 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      the 6Ah is the battery's capacity, each is 40V so each battery provides 240Wh, 4 of them is 960Wh, this is the power supply side.
      For the power draw of your device, the voltage (12V for your device) is how strong or powerful the device is, how much torque or pressure it produce etc. its power consumption needs to take it's amperage as well, which is the volume or flow rate of power it requires, this dictates how fast the device it can spin or how much volume it can move. for simplicity I'll say your 12V tool has constant voltage at 12V meaning it'll always produce same amount of torque, then it'll draw the current, Amp, at varying rate depending on what work it is doing. there is a max amp rating on it as well, look on the back label. Say the max current it can draw is 10A, and you are using the device at max power constantly then the power draw from it is 10A x 12V = 120W, this is the maximum device power draw, how much the device will try to pull from the supply. 960Wh divide 120W = 8hr, how long that device can use the batteries at maximum power before the batteries depletes.

    Been looking at this for camping. Maybe just running 3 fans at night. 2 basic box fans and my ryobi hybrid air canon. Witch all that less then 300w. My question how long can I run this for under those power condition with 4 6ah batteries. I got the 18v inverter that came out this year. So I’d charge cell phones off that. But. The fans at night. Usually like camping for 3 nights. So 24h worth of charge for the fans. Can or can it come close to doing that

    Also note for few people who don't care about how much money to toss.
    Ryobi also has a 3x battery pack system that has a normal 40volt battery slot cable attachment. So if you're wanting up to 5.7kw of power. Pairing soon to get Ryobi's 12ah 40volt batteries in each of their 3x power packs, Then putting 4x of those into the 1800watt power inverter, You'll not only get to Charge and use, But also have 5.7k+ power housed in the unit.
    And since you can also 'Pair' this with another 1800w power station. That brings it up to 11.5kw of power storage.

      @@aaronweiser5421 Umm yea. That isn't the point of the idea though. It's not about increasing overall output power. It's increasing the amount of BATTERY life it has.
      This can run on battery. But the point of the other slots is to increase the battery life itself.
      So say 1 cell can last up to a hour at such output. 2 cells gives me 2hours. This if i used 12ah cells. Then 2 giving me 2hours is nice. But if each cell slot has 3 batteries in 1 slot. That gives 1 cell slot 3hours of battery life. So 4x of that IE that's 12hours of battery life at max power output. Compared to just 4hours.
      So you see the point of this? Plus since it really only takes power from 1 cell at a time. If 1 power pack is fully drain of the 3cells. It'll switch to a cell slot that is already full and the last slot you can charge. So it'll be a repetitive cycle. Or if the 3x-1 cell can charge fast enough. Then it won't even drain the first cell battery. So you could keep a stable power output without wasting power itself in general.

      they are very different applications most of the time. Ryobi also sells a range of petrol generators. This is something you can pull out in a pinch while you have a bunch of tool batteries with you, this is very small and light, will happy fits and sit on a desk or confined spaces, does not produce any emissions or requires any oil or maintenance (shove it in the back of the truck and forget about it for a year if you want). For light or quick jobs in doors or confined spaces with no ventilations. for larger sustained use then use a petrol generator and run the extension cords from wherever you can safely set it up.

I have owned one for more than 12 years only changed the oil in it once because it’s mainly kept around just for an emergency outage. A battery generator batteries are going to fail they will not last and the batteries are expensive to replace. Battery generators run times are gonna be way less than 10 to 12 hours on a single charge . Battery generator are just not cost-effective yet.

      @@penitent2401 I have seen many TH-cam channels reviewing power stations and they are using them for the same uses as a generator to supply power to anything that uses electric. A Power Station is likely to be used by a consumer in a power outage just like a generator so I disagree with you. I agree with you that every tool has its place but when the tool does the same task which is supply power you have to compare them. Consumers need to know which tool is best for them and the cost that they will be paying and what its return will be. When the power station and its batteries cost are well over $2000 and the batteries have a limited lifespan I would much rather have a $900 Honda generator in case of a power outage it produces more watts and runs much longer without needing to recharge at all. And if you use true fuel instead of gasoline you don’t have to worry about ethanol storage problems or run the generator out of fuel for storage. Power stations and generators are intended for the same purpose to supply power to devices that require electric.

      I’m not sure but I think you may be confused about the life span of lithium batteries, maybe you know more than you let on I’m not sure. I usually end up correcting people when they repeat what they hear about lithium batteries and when the life is rated in a device that those batteries will keep the capacity for 300 or 500 charge cycles , depending on the chemistry of the battery. That rating is if you drained those batteries every day straight and recharged everyday up to 100%. Then you would be left with 80% of the capacity after 300 charge cycles, so you would loose the top 20%. It doesn’t mean the battery is bad it just means the length of time it used to run a given device will be 20% less run time. You could easily double the life of that battery if only discharge down to 20%, or 1 of 4 bars left, and recharge up to 80%, or 3 of 4 bars on the fuel gauge. A charge cycle is discharging to empty and recharging to 100% full. Lithium batteries can easily last well over 10 years. These home owner grade tools are not discharged everyday. More like once a week, if that.

The batteries alone are quite expensive and once they are depleated, you're out of power for almost 24 hours while you charge them back up.
