I found the exact cooler this is a rebrand of: the Alpicool MT25. Alpicool sells adapters to use Milwaukee, Makita, and Dewalt batteries. It's about $300; the Ryobi markup is outrageous. If someone could make a 3d print file to adapt Ryobi batteries to the Alpicool version, that would be awesome.

Great review. The problem with tall bottles around the inside edge hitting the lid is common on all of these coolers. It's a shame that when connected to AC power it doesn't charge the batteries. It's also sad that they used the hard-to-find power plug common on many of these DC cooler/freezers, but I suppose there are so many in use now that they would have gotten flack for using something else. I think I will stick with my F40C4TMP which runs just fine from the 18V batteries with a buck converter or the Ryobi DC power adapter like you demonstrated. Thanks for laying out the cash and sharing with everyone.

Why wouldn't they make use of the 40V line. I guess I can run it with the 40V power station....
@CapitanDart Жыл бұрын
Because they made it to run on about 14v so it can be powered by the battery and the car without having to convert the power. If it ran on 40v they would have to put more electronics to make the step down. They where already going to have to do a converter brick for the household power either way. Ryobi only markets the 40v line only as outdoor power tools such as lawn care and the 18v line is for everything.
@1LowSeventy3 Жыл бұрын
@Capitan Dart a step down is the size of a small board. I don't see how this would impact it size wise or add extra stuff.
@CapitanDart Жыл бұрын
@@1LowSeventy3 I didn't say anything about size being a problem. Also not sure how they would add in a "small board" without adding extra stuff as you put it. There is also inherit loss in converting the power instead of using equipment rated for 40v. I would think it boils down to them making a choice to support the much much larger 18v line instead of the smaller more geared to outdoor power equipment 40v line.
