2nd fastest doesn't always mean 2nd best. The 6 port Super Charger is my favorite because I can use one charger (that has a handle) and not have to keep going back to switch out batteries. I plug it in at night and in the morning everything is ready to grab and go.
Thank you for this video! I have been searching the internet to see if the oldest Ryobi charger would work with the 4amp 18v battery, and your video answered that question! Now I will not buy a new charger. Cheers!
If you're a contractor, then yes you probably want a fast charger. If you're a home owner who rarely needs more than 1 charge, or have 2 4A batteries, then I would actually prefer them charge at a slower rate. Charging speed definately affects battery life all things being equal.
I like the P118 because it's slower and gives me time to take a break between weed wacking.. Plus, it's not going to heat up the battery pack as much as a rapid charger. Heat =bad..
Although that's true, 18650's are pretty tough batteries. They can easily handle 2A on each cell so rapid charging is fine. Drawing too much current at once from them is a bigger danger, but that's not an issue with properly designed circuits in tools like Ryobi.
This P118 charger connected to 220vac supply through 220v to 110v converter of 2000w capacity in India there was noise and charger not working. This charger is new one bought in US of 110v and on first time when connected to new one step down 220v ac to 110 vac converter also bought in Us charger got damaged and not working. It is a puzzle.
Speed of charge my be convenient but it is not how to rate a charger. Li ion battery pack will last longer if charged at a low rate of charge and to only 80% capacity.
The supercharger and 2 packs of 4ah batteries are the way to go with Ryobi tools. As you demonstrate, they’re all slow, but if you’ve got more than 6 batteries, then you don’t really notice. Just keep dropping them in the supercharger when they get low. I didn’t hear you if you mentioned it, but the supercharger only charges one at a time, which is admittedly lame, however with enough batteries I don’t really notice it. There’s always a fully charged battery when I need it. If you’ve only got one or two batteries and a single charger on the other hand, then the slow charging is a major pain. So far the only Ryobi batteries I’ve been impressed by are the 4ah, p108’s. I find them to be comparable to Milwaukee or DeWalt 4ah batteries, yet significantly cheaper. I actually kind of like the stem cell design too. I find they’re easier to insert or remove both in the tools and the chargers. The other Ryobi batteries just aren’t in the same league as the competition. Whether they’re half size or full size, they just don’t pack enough amp hours.
Thanks for the feedback Curtis. I get what you're saying. As I mentioned in other videos, I think that Ryobi still has a ways to go - definitely not in the same league as the competition. One of my complaints with the supercharger is that it stalls quite often. It can get really annoying. Have you experienced the same?
@@BananaMan I think that the stalling you are referring to is the "temperature delay". This feature is, as far as I am aware, only on the new 6x super charger. If the battery gets hot while charging in the super charger then the charger will stop charging and wait for the battery to cool back down before resuming charging it. While this can definitely be annoying in the short term, and will definitely result in the batteries taking longer to charge, this also definitely damages the batteries a lot less and they will last longer. Try putting a fan on them or cooling them down some other way, they will charge faster that way. IMO fast charge is kind of a gimmick. Sure, the battery will charge faster, but u are killing it a lot sooner that way, you'll end up having to keep buying new ones and that money is better spent just buying more batteries upfront and treating them well. That way u can charge them slowly but always still have batteries ready when u need them. It's important to understand that the faster u charge any battery, the more you are heating it up. And heat Is the number 1 cause of almost all problems with electronics or even other machines in general. Heat is bad and you really should only be batteries as fast as you need them charged. And you only really need to charge them fast if you don't have enough of them. If you're serious about getting the job done fast, then just get more batteries. You will save time and money in the long term.
Although 18650 refers to the dimensions of the battery (18mm diameter, 65mm length and the "0" is the shape reference, round), it's pronounced "eighteen six fifty".
My tools got stolen and I have had to replace them with Ryobi tools. They might,might,be ok around the house,but you can not trust them if you actually use them. I just got finished taking my two year old super charger apart because it just fricking stopped working. The 1-3 side was working fine. The 4-6 side stopped working months ago. My multi tool quit on the job. One of my drills lost reverse then mysteriously came back a couple months later. My vacuum quit working. Impact driver misses alot.(like transmission is slipping). I've had batteries never work again after a couple weeks of use. My single charger that comes with drill quit working out of the blue. My jigsaw ,radio,and fan, work ok so far. Man I hope I didn't jinks them. Oh yeah,my brad nailer gets jammed up with two in brads
I would always prefer to charge with a P118 or P118B over a P117 (30 minutes charger). The P117 is pushing a bit more amperage than I would prefer given the C rating.
As long as the battery takes longer than 1 hour to charge you are under a 1c charge rate which is considered safe and not detrimental to battery logevity. If you charge battery in under an hour you are reducing the longevity of the battery due to too rapid of charging.
Things have improved since this showdown, their new supercharger halves most of the battery charge times now. Also they have started releasing new cells starting with their 3ah high cap battery so things are coming of age.
Yes I have the 6 amp hour and the 9 amp hour batteries but I haven't come across a charger that charges at a faster rate. Maybe I am missing it can you send a link in the comment? That's the thing about making videos they do not hold their usefulness for very long.
@@BananaMan www.ryobi.com.au/products/details/18v-one-super-fast-charger-rc18150u In Aus they are selling for $109 so that's around $77 US or so right now. I only have 1.3ah batteries myself so that would charge them in 15mins or less if it's meant to do 1.5ah in 20mins. Sounds good. Looking to get a big battery soon as I just bought the reciprocating saw and that uses it up in no time.
I’m with Curtis on this. I actually own two multi super chargers. One each of the old style and one of the new style. With multiple batteries from the 1.3 AH to the 6 AH. The 4 AH seems to be the best all around. Needless to say I never run out of a charged battery. I keep the grey charger near an outlet on my kitchen wall with a 1.3 always in it and the other in the hand vac. Really makes for a quick clean up in the kitchen. I also have another in my shop. I’ve never had a Roybi battery powered tool fail. Roybi Nation forever.
Thanks for the feedback, I love all of my tools and batteries. So far I've only had a couple of their tools fail me but mostly because I overwork them.
Dewalt is the way to go, My first cordless Ryobi tools ( drill driver and lawnmower) came with two 1.3 amp and 5.0 amp baterries and chargers respectively, I couldn't believe how slow the chargers were especially with the 5.0 amp battery, recently however, I was given a Dewalt combi drill and impact driver set with 2 x 4.0 amp batteries and charger as a present. The charging time for these is brilliant so I bought a thing called a BADAPTOR which allows me to use my Dewalt batteries in my Ryobi tools, never been happier 🙂
Great Video! I wanted know this and just stumbled on your vid. Ryobi definitely needs to update/speed up their chargers for their new line HP batteries. 3 amps output is still to slow!
Glad you like the video, Please Subscribe I will be giving away a $100 gift card to Home Depot once I reach 1000 subscribers. I will be making a video with the details on how to get in the running very soon. Hope you're having a great night thanks for your support.
Ryobi needs a rapid charger or a fan charger like other brands yeah it takes almost 1 hour and 20 minutes to charge a 4ah on their fastest charger now that the 6 and 9ah are out now it takes more than 3 hours to charge my 9ah ryobi battery on their fastest charger!
Ok mow Ryobi has an Charcher wo takes 5 Ah so your 9 Ah Accu is full in atime less 2 hours. But an 4Ah o 2.4 Ah Accu i dont want to load wiht this because as faster jou load an Accu as erlier it get die.
Some old chargers had a recall. So i sent both of mine in and got 2 brand new p117 fast chargers. You have to check their recall info and check the serial numbers.
You comment that Ryobi use "older cells". I have some of the first gen lithium packs that still perform basically as new. I have had far more expensive packs die much quicker. High tech or not, they're decent 👍 Also the difference between 2nd and 3rd can be put down to battery pack differences. Unless you've accurately measured capacity of each pack, can be out down to margin of error.
What are the differences between the actual p118 and P118B chargers (except the transformer location)? Any difference about the lights, output or else? thanks
Poor comparison. Didn't explain if those batteries were the same age or use. Also the newest charger charges at 2.1 amps. How much faster do you want it to go? They already heat up a bit. Anymore and you'd wreck the battery longevity and capacity. The cells are not outdated either. Idk if you e never used a different tool brand but they all charge about the same. Makita has a charging fan which allows a bit more current.
Tranquila Shawn, if you look at the spec sheet from the cells that are inside the batteries you will see that most are from 2010 some even as old as 2009. I am particularly interested in Faster charging for other hobby projects. I completely understand that most people will have no need for that with these type of tools. Look at my other video where I compare multiple Chargers of many different brands. In this video We compare how many watts each charger pushes out and you will see not all are created equal. In fact Kobalt and Green Works, charge at much higher rates than much of the competition.
Peter Ryan Fast charging makes the batteries’ cells, 18650s, or any other chemically charged battery deteriorate much more rapidly. Do a bit of research. I am definitely no expert, but am an EE.
I have all the chargers and over 15 4ah batteries and 3 super chargers and tons of tools it’s the best platform for me it’s not the best but there owned by tti the same owners as Milwaukee and Ridgid but I’m surprised with the ryobi platform there’s just about every tool for something and the gray chargers those are the worse to charge 4ah battery
"is my breaker gonna hold it?" "all chargers are pulling 200 watts" Please, your kettle and heating elements pull 2,000 watts just to boil the water, my breakers can do Oven, Kettle, Microwave and a toastie maker for a total of 10Kw, and for a general household that's small every day use, my kitchen breaker excluding the oven held out with 5KW, charging batteries is nothing my friend.
Cool info, thanks! Have you done a video comparing the HP One+ batteries vs the regular ones on the brushless tools? Ryobi says they offer more power on brushless tools but idk! Thanks
Let me give you a little information on the Ryobi 6 battery super charger.. you can put in all six batteries at once.. here is the kicker. It will only charge one battery at a time . they used to be numbered. I don’t know if they are anymore but they go in order by the batteries you put in when one battery is done then another battery will take over. They will not charge all six batteries at once because this would have been the smart thing to invent, but no, this is Ryobi. The handyman tool that thinks it is going pro… Ryobi is a long way from being a pro tool. It will never get to the main status of Milwaukee but this is what Ryobi is trying to achieve it is trying to go from a basement level Tool and battery operation and trying to sneak up into the pro tool category like Milwaukee .. Ryobi thinks by bringing out.HP version of a tool it is going to get into the pro tool market. It is just the same tool with the letters.HP on it
Too many variables to be accurate. All should have used the exact same battery - drained the exact way - then timed individually. Who knows what differences there are in the batteries they are all charging? Great idea though, and some rough info to go by.
Also to take an hour and a half to charge a 4ah battery is very good anything under 1 hour and you are slowly degrading the battery with every rapid charge.
Get an adapter, can use Milwaukee batteries. Also have a Milwaukee to DeWalt adapter that has a USB charger on it as well .. we all have Multiple platforms might as well make the best of it. Just do your research before hand. Also why buy brand batteries after the free one? they have aftermarket ones that have better to same performance for half the cost. Keep some / even more cash in your pocket.
Gilitar Tell them again. For longevity and maximum capacity, the travel or slow overnight charger is best. The rapid charger will rapidly destroy your cells. I have the regular and the newer yellow one which I probably will not use often. I plan adding the overnight charger.
2 dead for me... and I've charged maybe 6 batteries on them. I can't even say a full charge just a small job and top it back off when done... Not impressed with the P117
Jay? The #1 charger, what is the model # for that. I seem to like that one better than the #4 I got in the kit. You did a good job. Good vid. Oh, another question, on the #4, the two bottom lights, red and green. I would “think” the lamp that states it is “charging” would be lite up, not the bottom one. I am new to the 18v one+. I have mostly Dewalt. I am just a hobbyist though and just like Ryobi. Can you give me a little insight on this? Thanks again...M. I just ordered the P117
Hi Robert thanks for subscribing to my channel and commenting on my video. The large charger charges each battery Individually. So if you load it up with 6 dead 4ah power batteries it would probably take about 6 hours to charge all those batters. Have you got the 6ah hour batteries or the 9ah batteries yet?
I hv the p117 30 min charger and ive only charged my batteries a handful of times and yesterday I put a battery in to charge and came back like 10 min later and it wasn't charging and the lights wernt working its like it has no power? Do you know what my problem could be? Do they hv a fuse on the inside of them that may hv blown? Oh yeah great vid I subbed..
True except those jobs where you need to use the belt sander for long periods of time or the angle grinder. Then it's really good to have a few of the 6 amp hour batteries and the 9 amp hour batteries. However since I plan on using these batteries for some hobby applications it would be nice if they would charge at at least 150 watts an hour.
If you go back and review your video the new fast charger had completed charging while you were talking you did not notice for a little bit. Now the question really is was there any editing in that part. If not it was likely 1 min or two faster than when you first noticed. Anyway just some info for you.
It was slightly faster yes that's why it got a number one on it. However they are all really slow Chargers but when you have as many batteries as me it doesn't matter that much.
And to be really fair, re-run the test with the batteries swapped to different chargers. Measure the voltages of the different battery packs before charging to get actual state of charge. Lots of minor variables how will not make a big difference in this test by more than a few minutes.
You are missing out on one more a little black charger that comes with a cheap 1.5 battery when you buy a tool.?.. having1.5 battery is really useless you know there is no power there is no use for a 1.5 battery from any brand for any tool. This is just stupidity on the consumer and the tool maker but this is their way of getting rid of the crappy 1.5 batteries they have laying around Ryobi is very good for this… buy any tool, and it usually comes with a 1.5 battery. and if you were really lucky, and really fortunate, they will give you 2…1.5 batteries this is just stupidity but getting back to my point you were still missing a few chargers. If you were going to do this do this right make sure you have all of the chargers Ryobi is supplying.
You dont know nothing about battery technology so stop complaining. 18650 is just the dimension of the cylindrcsl cells and they are used by all powertool companies, used by Tesla in their cars, powerwalls or in their industry huge bateries. What slightly differ is just chemistry inside and feww details. Thats all. Your complaining is nonesense.
ryobi are just cheap tools ,cheap parts,no after sales help in the uk ,and no guarantee if your using these and your a tradesman,and dont use the new batteries on older ryobi tools it burns them out as i found out to my cost.
![Vanon 6ah Ryobi One replacement battery [Crap company, Crap service, Rigged this Review]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/NwNy_OLx4FU/mqdefault.jpg)
I would rather have the battery charge slower because fast charging makes heat and heat shortens the life of the cells
2nd fastest doesn't always mean 2nd best. The 6 port Super Charger is my favorite because I can use one charger (that has a handle) and not have to keep going back to switch out batteries. I plug it in at night and in the morning everything is ready to grab and go.

They dont have a fast charger because there all a fast charger, my makitas in the 90's would take 6-8 hours so I'd say 1 hour is def a fast charge
Not every battery will actually have the same capacity once they age, so that could easily change the time by 10-20 minutes
Yep - the testing is entirely invalid for this reason alone
I like the P118 because it's slower and gives me time to take a break between weed wacking..

It will never get to the main status of Milwaukee but this is what Ryobi is trying to achieve it is trying to go from a basement level
Tool and battery operation and trying to sneak up into the pro tool category like Milwaukee .. Ryobi thinks by bringing out.HP version of a tool it is going to get into the pro tool market. It is just the same tool with the letters.HP on it
Too many variables to be accurate. All should have used the exact same battery - drained the exact way - then timed individually. Who knows what differences there are in the batteries they are all charging? Great idea though, and some rough info to go by.
You could have done this whole video in one minute. Simply show the watts pulled by each charger and show the results.
Also to take an hour and a half to charge a 4ah battery is very good anything under 1 hour and you are slowly degrading the battery with every rapid charge.
Get an adapter, can use Milwaukee batteries. Also have a Milwaukee to DeWalt adapter that has a USB charger on it as well .. we all have Multiple platforms might as well make the best of it. Just do your research before hand. Also why buy brand batteries after the free one? they have aftermarket ones that have better to same performance for half the cost. Keep some / even more cash in your pocket.
Faster does not mean better when charging batteries.

Tell them again. For longevity and maximum capacity, the travel or slow overnight charger is best. The rapid charger will rapidly destroy your cells. I have the regular and the newer yellow one which I probably will not use often. I plan adding the overnight charger.
I like that plug in watt meter. Do you have a link to it?

Until the fast charger dies after the 4th use like the two I've owned have...
Same
I hope that you get more than six months out of your new charger. I have five of them (P117) and all but one have failed and are now dead.
2 dead for me... and I've charged maybe 6 batteries on them. I can't even say a full charge just a small job and top it back off when done... Not impressed with the P117
add model no of each charger in description
Jay? The #1 charger, what is the model # for that. I seem to like that one better than the #4 I got in the kit. You did a good job. Good vid. Oh, another question, on the #4, the two bottom lights, red and green. I would “think” the lamp that states it is “charging” would be lite up, not the bottom one. I am new to the 18v one+. I have mostly Dewalt. I am just a hobbyist though and just like Ryobi. Can you give me a little insight on this? Thanks again...M. I just ordered the P117
This sucks . I just spent over 1300 on ryobi. I noticed the batteries take long. What a 0bummer .
thats why i stick with aeg tools n batts
Those are the Ridgid Tools here in America correct? I looked at their website and was very similar.
@@BananaMan yep..same thing.
With that multiple charger if you have more batteries and will charge as fast or will take even longer
Hi Robert thanks for subscribing to my channel and commenting on my video. The large charger charges each battery Individually. So if you load it up with 6 dead 4ah power batteries it would probably take about 6 hours to charge all those batters. Have you got the 6ah hour batteries or the 9ah batteries yet?
The p118b ??
I hv the p117 30 min charger and ive only charged my batteries a handful of times and yesterday I put a battery in to charge and came back like 10 min later and it wasn't charging and the lights wernt working its like it has no power? Do you know what my problem could be? Do they hv a fuse on the inside of them that may hv blown? Oh yeah great vid I subbed..
4-5 4ah batterys and the 60$ super charger and you are set for 90% of any job
True except those jobs where you need to use the belt sander for long periods of time or the angle grinder. Then it's really good to have a few of the 6 amp hour batteries and the 9 amp hour batteries. However since I plan on using these batteries for some hobby applications it would be nice if they would charge at at least 150 watts an hour.
If you go back and review your video the new fast charger had completed charging while you were talking you did not notice for a little bit. Now the question really is was there any editing in that part. If not it was likely 1 min or two faster than when you first noticed. Anyway just some info for you.
It was slightly faster yes that's why it got a number one on it. However they are all really slow Chargers but when you have as many batteries as me it doesn't matter that much.
And to be really fair, re-run the test with the batteries swapped to different chargers. Measure the voltages of the different battery packs before charging to get actual state of charge. Lots of minor variables how will not make a big difference in this test by more than a few minutes.
my p118 charger for a weedwacker reads "defective" is there a fix for it?
Same here, I've used it a couple times just fine but today went to charge and getting the defective red pulse.
You are missing out on one more a little black charger that comes with a cheap 1.5 battery when you buy a tool.?.. having1.5 battery is really useless you know there is no power there is no use for a 1.5 battery from any brand for any tool. This is just stupidity on the consumer and the tool maker but this is their way of getting rid of the crappy 1.5 batteries they have laying around Ryobi is very good for this… buy any tool, and it usually comes with a 1.5 battery. and if you were really lucky, and really fortunate, they will give you 2…1.5 batteries this is just stupidity but getting back to my point you were still missing a few chargers. If you were going to do this do this right make sure you have all of the chargers Ryobi is supplying.
You dont know nothing about battery technology so stop complaining. 18650 is just the dimension of the cylindrcsl cells and they are used by all powertool companies, used by Tesla in their cars, powerwalls or in their industry huge bateries. What slightly differ is just chemistry inside and feww details. Thats all. Your complaining is nonesense.
ryobi are just cheap tools ,cheap parts,no after sales help in the uk ,and no guarantee if your using these and your a tradesman,and dont use the new batteries on older ryobi tools it burns them out as i found out to my cost.
So why come to watch these if you don't like them?
