The power input is dc. If the inverter is on there'd be no flicker in the output. It's not switching between the cord and battery, only charging the battery while outputting
Yeah Al we needed this. I think I’ll have to start buying some Ryobi tools. They have great products that I don’t think Ego will even make. Like their outdoor propane heater for example.
Good review👍I do have a couple of thoughts.. When you tested the UPS function, you had the power brick charger hooked up and on. I wonder if you should have tested the UPS without power going in since it has pass-through charging? I understand the thought that for maintaining best battery conditioning, it's best to store the unit at less than 100%. I think you suggested around 50%. That said, if you need the unit when power goes off and it's only at a 50-75% charge, aren't you loosing how many hours you can use it, i.e., powering a refrigerator. If that's the case, I'm not sure it makes sense. Anyway, as always, a great revuew😊
Hi Frank, the light switch turns power off to see how fast the power switches to battery. As far as storage, when you have a power outage solar would be a good solution with most power stations, this one doesn’t have that option (not good)
I doubt it has an ups or transfer relay I’m assuming power brick directly feeds battery cells and inverter draws from separately. Probably why it reads 275watts input no matter the load. Great video though 👍
So, about the 1600w vs 1800w as it pertains to this inverter. A 15amp breaker in your house is an 1800w circuit. Max load on that circuit is 80% of that, which is 1600w. Every breaker in the US, except those specifically listed for full load, follow this rule. This inverter is also following this rule. It's essentially a portable 15amp circuit and behaves the same as your household outlet.
I don't think there is a ups feature in this power station..remember power brick step down ac to Dc so it will have pass through charging not ups ..ups allows ac to run the loads..how can it do that when we already have dc coming out of the brick....
@@TechMadeEzy I can agree with that. And if it's not LFP, it's an automatic no go. With all the benefits of LFP (100% charging, no thermal runaway, longer life), they really messed this one up. And they announced it months ago. Plenty of time to assess the other choices and price points on the market. They also only limit you to two Powerstations max.
Can’t generally recommend one unless you have an unlimited budget then I have a few but they would cost over $1,000 easily Need wattage and especially surge wattage
Just the fact that you can't charge by car or solar sold me on NOT getting one. You might just buy a gas generator because you'll need it one anyway if you have power out for a few days.
That type of information is in our first video I mentioned during this video the link is in the description of our video , lithium ion battery they don’t disclose the cycles at all in the manual, or on their website
@@TechMadeEzy I ask because if it has that function and you cannot turn the ECO mode off then it will be problem if you run small cooler or CPAP machine.
As a ryobi 40v inverter owner, I am also disapointed with this model. The inverter seems to be the same as the 40V model which is 1600w- its 1800w between AC & DC - i hate this markeing bs. Cons: Way over priced for a NMC battery. fan sounds like you are at an airport. Can only be charged by AC power, no solar input not even a bidirectional USBC - come on ryobi. The only people buying this will be novices and fan boys. The Ecoflow delta 2 crushs this in every spec. This does NOT have a UPS.
I find it hard to believe that they don't have solar charging, yet here we are. I wouldn't mind the fan I think. But for the wattage and price point it actually seems fair to me, but maybe I am missing something. Most other power supplies seem to be 1,000-1,200 watts. The form factor and wattage seems like great selling features. Sure under $1000 would be great, but I like others are most bothered by the lack of solar and 12v car charging options.
@@TechMadeEzyI know, and that is why it's so disappointing. The form factor of this model vs the other options is what makes this so appealing to me. We would use this camping so the form factor is important.
That's painful. It was so perfect everywhere else. Pass through charging, built in battery, can run a microwave. I just need to charge my milwaukee batteries in my work van without connecting inverter to the battery
As long as the ac units wattage and surge meets the Ryobi specs BUT the challenge you will have if it does it run time. AC units take up a lot of power and this unit doesn’t have a large battery. You would need a much larger capacity unit that’s expandable to do that and it gets expensive. Here is an example of a unit that can in most cases and it’s expandable ua-cam.com/video/ixx4gfHV4oo/v-deo.htmlsi=6DbHvfuM-uGAjUIh
Kept mine running from sleep to wake, roughly 7-8 hours and I had 44% charge left. Figured it could easily gone another 6 hours before needing charged back up.

They have a ton of really cool tools especially for their 18 volt lineup but wait I'm coming out with a head to head with this new Ryobi power station
Love dogs. God Bless.
Impressive power station. Thanks for the great review Tech!

Wow. Finally a UPS function. I am loving it! Question. Is the internal battery replaceable? I will probably watch more video! LOL

I'm glad the Ryobi was able to handle the load of your Keurig if it couldn't you could have ended up possibly damaging your Keurig.
Use perallel cables with this ryobi 1800w power station with the ryobi 18v 1800w power station, and at the same time, use the "pass threw" charger.
Ryobi has gotten so good it rules the market
Great 👍 Ryobi 1800W power station
I'm having the exact same issues with the app
I don't think there is a ups feature in this power station..remember power brick step down ac to Dc so it will have pass through charging not ups ..ups allows ac to run the loads..how can it do that when we already have dc coming out of the brick....
Wasn’t able to confirm from Ryobi
👍👍
3000 is the starting watts. Only meant for startup. Not post load spikes.
Agree, surge but that 1800w, they should have been more upfront with that, hopefully you didn't miss that
@@TechMadeEzy I can agree with that. And if it's not LFP, it's an automatic no go. With all the benefits of LFP (100% charging, no thermal runaway, longer life), they really messed this one up.

Does anyone know if this will work okay on UK power? if not will Ryobi be selling a UK version?
What multimeter are you using please..brand etc... is a graphing meter?
Hi not local remind me next week I will definitely share
So what power station would you recommend for a space heater?
Can’t generally recommend one unless you have an unlimited budget then I have a few but they would cost over $1,000 easily
Need wattage and especially surge wattage
This ryobi station would not power a hest dish or space heater?? Thanks
Not for me....good review....way better options available.
Thanks Glenn
Just the fact that you can't charge by car or solar sold me on NOT getting one. You might just buy a gas generator because you'll need it one anyway if you have power out for a few days.
Now solar support
Can this charge an 80v battery?
If you plug the charger for that battery into the AC outlet I would say yes
What type of battery inside? What is duty cycle?
That type of information is in our first video I mentioned during this video the link is in the description of our video , lithium ion battery they don’t disclose the cycles at all in the manual, or on their website
Not LFP? No PV input? Poison power?
Shame especially compared to EcoFlow see this video
ua-cam.com/video/2GuhwRPPjqY/v-deo.htmlsi=p_EZje61E4TNxph-
Does it have ECO power saving mode? If it does, Can it be turned On or OFF?
Haven't seen that feature
@@TechMadeEzy I ask because if it has that function and you cannot turn the ECO mode off then it will be problem if you run small cooler or CPAP machine.
@budmartin3344 I totally understand
Can it be paired/parallel with the 40v version ?
I hi know, doesn’t say in the manual or website

@garrettscott4094 they have solar on some of their other power stations

Can you hook this one up to a Ryobi solar panel
No not that I can confirm
That's painful. It was so perfect everywhere else. Pass through charging, built in battery, can run a microwave. I just need to charge my milwaukee batteries in my work van without connecting inverter to the battery
@marvellstarks2434
See my head 2 head video coming up in a few days, might solve your challenge
Absolutely I will. Subscribing now
Can you charge this in a vehicle?
Don’t think I saw that option, I know, solar charging isn’t available
Can this run a Portable A/C unit ?

How long window ac?
Kept mine running from sleep to wake, roughly 7-8 hours and I had 44% charge left. Figured it could easily gone another 6 hours before needing charged back up.
What is UPS?
Uninterrupted power supply
Seems like this product is half baked just like the other ryobi power stations.
I wouldn't buy till they update and show wattage out.
Pourquoi pas en français
I wish I knew how to speak French and Spanish
