Ryobi 40V Blower RY404100 with 730 CFM and 190 MPH!

[@jesusjones3014]

After use I put my batteries under my 20" shop fan for 5 minutes then rotate them around for air flow on the other side then 5 min more and they charge right up, no wait time needed or orange light. I also do this with my yard tool batteries so I can get the 1st one I used to be at least partially charged up and can use it again if needed to finish the lawn.

Thanks for sharing I may have to try your method the next time I use! I only have the 2 4ah batteries that came with this setup and when drying cars with the turbo I go through them pretty quickly.

Run time was the dealbreaker

[@TeamDIYNow]

Yea I agree there are pros and cons as you get a lot of power but the runtime isn't the greatest. The runtime is only about 5-10 minutes if you hold the boost down the whole time. I know they advertise this blower running longer, however after the 5-10 mins of continuous use you can tell the CFM is reduced even tho it will run longer. Typically, I use both 4ah batteries to dry a single car after washing.

is your car ceramic coated?

[@TeamDIYNow]

No, I may put a ceramic coating on it at some point but I typically try to put the least amount of product as possible on all my cars. Although the aftermarket companies don't want to hear as they want to sell every product out there, Ive learned over the years the least amount of times you touch your paint the better (especially black cars).

Brah just use ceramic spray! The coating takes to much time and labor!
