Excellent video. I love that it wasn’t sponsored either. I just purchased the Ryobi Power Station with four 40V 6mAh batteries for $1,069 from HD online and so far it’s been working great. Runs full size fridge and sump pumps mostly, but it easily does with no problem. Fridge only uses 10% of its load capacity.
Thank you! We’ve had 2 of the Ego nexus power stations for 3 years now. I use it every day for my all-electric landscape business. I think the slow charging has really increased the longevity of the batteries. Plus, we can pop on 4 at a time and get most of our batteries charged overnight. Great analysis. In winter power outages they keep the Xmas tree, fridge, router, gas fireplace ignition and a couple lamps going for days. So happy to have purchased it. Also, fabulous for camping. Used it for some remote schooling during Covid lockdown. Keep all the devices charged for a week.
😅😅😅😅😅but those power stations if you side and rain 🌧️ need cover them up my power station you out side and it's 🌧️ Rain not need I have everything 🌊 waterproof even out let waterproof even where fan is waterproof 😅😅😅😅
9:23 Oops "Charing mode" Nice video this was the info I was looking for and by the way I have made much bigger mistakes in my own videos than the one here at 9:23.
If these had a solar power option with pass-through charging - I would love to recommend them for people to power off-grid cabins and tiny homes. Unfortunately, I can't without those features.
Yeah these were not designed for those purposes, although it would have been awesome if they did have that feature. For tiny house living probably better off with inergy, ecoflow, or bluetti
@@Panasyukvic yep it does, unfortunately, it cannot handle multiple solar panels in parallel so you are stuck to using there one solar panel to charge this behemoth. From what I've seen it takes FOREVER to charge. Also, you cannot charge it while it's in use (pass-through charging), only one or the other. So it is completely unrealistic for everyday use in an off-grid setup.
FYI... If you calculated 20V max as 18V, then you should calculate EGO's one as 50.4V as well. EGO is not doing that, but it's actually 56V max. Not real 56V. EGO battery contains 14 cells while 18V ones contain 5 cells. So you can do the math.
Interesting but you didn't mention any warranties with them. I'll probably go with the Ryobi since I already have the lawn mower and it came with two 40 volt 6ah batteries.
I've been looking for something like this to change my wife moblity scooter I was mostly looking at the ryobi do you have any info on how it would cope with this being it Naunton job
Love the info and have been looking hard at the Ryobi as I have several batteries and tools already. Only issue that I have is I'd like to have the option to Charge the Batteries via Solar Panels. Could I use the "ego solar panel charger" ? on the Robi or some other Methode?
Not any way i can see. There’s not enough info on the Ryobi inverter to show what power input it can take but the size of the input port makes me think it’s for trickle charing only.
Still no update about how you were able to setup the wifi on the EGO Power Station??? (i.e. Do you have an Android or iPhone) I watched your post only for this but nothing new! 🧐 It's not working for many people (only bluetooth connectivity does work) so can you please do another video just for the wifi please???
Anyone have any options that are a little less… high end maybe if that’s the word I’m looking for? Like I’d just kind of like to put a light in my shed and maybe charge my phone while I’m mowing without running extension cords through the yard.
The Ryobi power station only generates 960 Wh of power with 4 batteries on. Its current price is 849 bucks, not 799 any more, with only 2 6Ah batteries. It costs well over 1000 bucks if you buy 2 more batteries and is too expensive.
Most devices will probably fair out well in the short term. Long term hard to say. But given the options available now days, there are probably better options out there that are pure sinewave if you are targeting small electronics. even if any damage occurs, the damage will be on the power adapters as they convert from AC -> DC.
No power station without active input charging will run a portable ac for days. The power draw on an ac is huge. You would be better off with something that has solar input and pass through charging.. look at something like ecoflow delta pro with solar panels
I’m waiting on a gen 2 ego, cause I like the ope better then ryobi but that ryobi does smack it out the park with the usb-c, compact form, jacket, and possibly the break thru feature parallel input to bad they dropped the ball with WiFi I wonder if I left a phone connected to the internet in range… hmmm really still anybodies game especially if dewalt comes with a gen 2
Not a peep was heard about this. Even if they did it wouldn’t work very well due to the input capabilities of this the Ryobi power station. Only way that would work if they made a standalone solar charger with its own dock
If you open them up, most of them are using samsung, lg, or sanyo cells. which are mostly all the same. What will really affect battery longevity is the care of the battery packs.
i have the dewalt and the 300w ryobi...if the dewalt had psw inverter, it would crush the competition. I would how a line conditioner would work to clean up the sine wave
If you are already in the DeWalt ecosystem, it is hard to beat the DeWalt PowerStation. Yeah, it is modified sine wave - but it will run some truly dificult loads (like my wire welder!). The other big advantage of the DeWalt -vs- others... it uses *normal* DeWalt batteries! Why the others have not figured this out yet is beyond me. No need to buy special batteries.
I'll stick to honda eu2000i. just because I got it off of craigslist at a bargain price and does what I need for the 4 days at the beach, including running my 5000btu window air conditioner.
Would like to let people know about a factory defect in the Ryobi inverter this does not mean that Ryobi has made a bad product it is in fact a good product but their second run had a defect to find out if you have a defective unit simply shut the unit off unplug from the charger put four batteries in the unit and let the unit sit for 7 to 10 days then check the battery in slot three if this battery has one or even two lights out it means that it has a drain that battery down this is a defect in the first run there was no problem you can let batteries sit in it for six months and they will still be full however after one year you should charge it at least once a year in this defect if you leave a battery in it longer than 30 days it will damage the battery in the slot with the defect not only will it destroy a battery and if this happens to you you can get it replaced by Ryobi because it will be the products file for the battery but the worst is you will only get 50% of the run time that you would get if you don’t have a defective unit so just check your unit out if you only use the Slots that Are not defective the unit should work fine just don’t use the defective slut and if you have a battery that has been destroyed contact Ryobi and they should replace it I do not know if Ryobi will replace the defective unit yet but I’m sure in the future they will Ryobi is a good company so if you have a defective unit don’t be too disappointed every single company has defective products
yep. every manufacturer has defective products that come off the manufacturing line. I think ryobi will warranty or replace it. Haven't had any issues with HD exchanging ryobi tools.
@@4thewinak They could make an XGT-based ("40v" i.e. 10s) inverter. Not sure it would sell... so many people have all-cordless tools now, especially younger folks who didn't buy a bunch of corded ones to begin with.
Repurposed power tool batteries aren’t as well suited to powering an inverter as a dedicated LFP battery. I don’t see why a tradesperson or homeowner would cycle valuable power tool batteries this way.
true. i believe what they had in mind was to bridge a gap since they already had the power tool batteries.. in theory their target market is users that are heavy power tool users.

A regular gas generator, I’m sure you could, but would probably decrease it’s life span.

Good point
Can the Ego be solar charged while it's in use to run a power tool for example?
no. it cannot be charged and used at the same time. to be frank, none of the power staitons in this video are able to do so.
Interesting but you didn't mention any warranties with them. I'll probably go with the Ryobi since I already have the lawn mower and it came with two 40 volt 6ah batteries.
Grat no nonsense reviews
M18 version got announced. Not much info on it yet.
I've been looking for something like this to change my wife moblity scooter I was mostly looking at the ryobi do you have any info on how it would cope with this being it Naunton job
Do a video on how to connect the dewalt to solar panels
Great quick service, delivery
For the fridge and induction burner 1 what batteries and how many for the Ego.Thank you
None of those will run a normal fridge for very long...........sure sure not 24hrs
Can you load test them to there limits?
Love the info and have been looking hard at the Ryobi as I have several batteries and tools already. Only issue that I have is I'd like to have the option to Charge the Batteries via Solar Panels. Could I use the "ego solar panel charger" ? on the Robi or some other Methode?

I’m just curious is there a plug-in contraption we can make or purchase to take the Dewalt power station and make it pure sine wave?
Yes u habe sine wave converters they cost arojnd 75.00
Thank you for the very informative video

Make sure your mobile device wifi is setup at 2.4gh. The ego wifi don’t work on 5gh. There’s a recent video showing how to do this.

Get the BLUETTI eb3a. For about ~$300 ish you can get it and a solar panel to keep it topped up.
The Ryobi power station only generates 960 Wh of power with 4 batteries on. Its current price is 849 bucks, not 799 any more, with only 2 6Ah batteries. It costs well over 1000 bucks if you buy 2 more batteries and is too expensive.
almost any m12 battery will work
Can you charge it through a cigarette lighter adapter
You think the dewalt power station will be safe to charge small electronics like laptops, drones, gopro etc when camping?
Most devices will probably fair out well in the short term. Long term hard to say. But given the options available now days, there are probably better options out there that are pure sinewave if you are targeting small electronics.
even if any damage occurs, the damage will be on the power adapters as they convert from AC -> DC.
what power stations can i use with a portable air condtioner that will last for days.
No power station without active input charging will run a portable ac for days. The power draw on an ac is huge. You would be better off with something that has solar input and pass through charging.. look at something like ecoflow delta pro with solar panels
Does the ryobi have pass through charging while in use?
No it does not have passed through
Just a question dude is the Ryobi worth buying
thanks for the video buddy
Glad to be of service
Great video
Brilliant video thank you 😎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
thanks!

everyone with a gen 1 is waiting for an upgraded version
Have you heard if ryobi will be coming out with a solar charger?
Not a peep was heard about this. Even if they did it wouldn’t work very well due to the input capabilities of this the Ryobi power station. Only way that would work if they made a standalone solar charger with its own dock
How many cycles do all of these batteries get?
If you open them up, most of them are using samsung, lg, or sanyo cells. which are mostly all the same. What will really affect battery longevity is the care of the battery packs.
I went with the bluetti, way less, more watt hour, pass through solar and ac charging, 10year life.....
i have the dewalt and the 300w ryobi...if the dewalt had psw inverter, it would crush the competition. I would how a line conditioner would work to clean up the sine wave
they gotta make the solar input .. imagine
asian got to love them, they are efficient
true
DeWalt 1 reminds me of a old man no fun just work
Looks at pocketbook.... Ok now I need to buy one of each.... should take me a year.
haha
😅😅😅 one I make is best it's 💦 waterproof even rain 🌧️ it's much safer than those if I put side not have worried
