RYOBI 800W vs 1000W POWER INVERTER

[@randyporter3491]

Great review ! I'm try to decide between this and the new 150w power source. Like the size of the 150, but love the capacity of this 1000.

[@Toolspecs]

I'm trying to get the 150w power source that also charge battery but it's always sold out here and our Canadian DTO doesn't have access to this as of yet. I'm going to do some reviews about all the inverters I own at my off grid trailer this summer.

I love how he says Watt

[@andyc4670]

I lost the gold washer that goes into the terminals can I replace with any washer? I have some silver ones that look like they fit.

[@Toolspecs]

@andyc4670 gold plated make the best connections but regular grade 5 or grade 8 washer will work too.

[@andyc4670]

@Toolspecs I picked up some brass washers from home depot does that work to? Also I've been using a coffee machine that only spikes up to 725 watts however the Ryobi shows I'm under 12 volts goes to 11.1. I'm using it on my car with engine running. It seems to work ok but If my radiator fan kicks on it jumps to 13.5 volts and then my inverter shuts off

[@Toolspecs]

@andyc4670 yes brass is a very good conductor. Wow, which coffee maker do you have? Most of them are 1000w +. I never connected mine to my truck battery while it's running, that too bad that it shut off the inverter when the engine fan kicks on.

[@andyc4670]

@@ToolspecsI'm starting to wonder if the inverter is the issue, as I don't recall it behaving this way before. I recently replaced my old 900-watt coffee maker with a Mainstays 5-cup coffee maker from Walmart, which pulls around 730 watts. The old coffee maker used about 875 watts, which I could understand causing problems. What worries me is that the inverter drops to 11.1 volts, and when the radiator fan kicks on, the voltage jumps to 13.5, which is when the inverter shuts off. One solution I’m considering is to only use the inverter for making coffee when the car is cold so that the radiator fan doesn’t come on. This way, the coffee should be done before the fan has a chance to activate. However, I wish it could work simultaneously without issues, which has me thinking there may be something wrong with the inverter, so I’m considering a warranty replacement.

Thanks for the review.. no excuse why this is still modified Sinewave… avoid

[@Toolspecs]

I can't wait for a pure shine version

[@FUCKDSS]

I seen everything I needed to know from the thumbnail... except that

[@Toolspecs]

@@FUCKDSS what about the fans upgrade?

[@georgeemanson]

@@Toolspecs Like wise...looking for pure sinewave & UK plugs.

[@jaycarneygiants]

Most people make too big of a deal about pure sine waves. If you are running something so delicate and important why would you be using a $100 Ryobi inverter anyway?

[@cdm1250uhf1]

can you get power out of the terminals in the back?

[@Toolspecs]

I never tryed it because it's for power in but i'll test it for you when I have a chance.

[@cdm1250uhf1]

@@Toolspecs thank you, I appreciate it!!

[@jaycarneygiants]

Now I have to search your channel for a video of this "Fish room"!😁

[@eunicehernandez7560]

Can you hook the new Ryobi solar panels to this inverter. Can this inverter be used to charge 18v batteries?

[@Toolspecs]

No you can't connect this inverter to the new solar panels butyou can use it to charge 18v batteries connecting the panel to the RYi150C. Because the solar panels ports are USB and USB-C. 60 WATTS is not much power, it will take 1 hour to charge up a dead cellphone. The typical car battery that this inverter is made to connect to range between 4000-8000 watts. I guess I should do a overview of all the new products coming out......there's so many.

[@rwachtell]

If you want to connect solar panels to this inverter you can do that if you are using a 12 volt battery by simply connecting the solar panels to the 12 volt battery so that they charge the battery while it is also powering the inverter. You can do that with any solar panels and charger panel. Just make sure you are using a good charger with the panels that will not overcharge the battery if your solar panels are putting out way to much solar charge. And just plug in your normal 120 volt charger into this inverter for charging 18 volt batteries. I do the 40 volt batteries this way too. In fact I charge all my batteries this way.

[@lp3037]

Here in my city the 800 watt is 50% cheaper than the 1000 watt.

[@BenAfricanCichlids]

Awesome! Did you buy one? Which city are we talking about? Note: This is Toolspecs I'm answering you from my other channel.

[@KaisTheFireWarrior]

Does this jump cars off or does it only pull power from a battery?

[@Toolspecs]

It's not a car jumper. It's a inverter to charge usb device and run 120v components around the house.

[@jessihawkins9116]

@@Toolspecscan I plug a jump starter into it? 🤔

[@Toolspecs]

@jessihawkins9116 it all depends of how many watts your jump start need.

[@jessihawkins9116]

@@Toolspecs it has to be enough watts to start a car 🤔

[@MrZedblade]

I'm surprised nobody is asking this. But can you disable the 120V AC plugs and output *just* the low-voltage ones (usb/12v car etc?) Or, is Ryobi smart enough to disable them automatically when nothing is plugged in? The reason you would want to do this is that 120V inverters are notoriously inefficient. Many will drain your battery even if nothing is plugged into the AC plug. You don't always need 120V AC and it's better to disable it when it's not being used.

[@Toolspecs]

No unfortunately you can't disable the 120v plug but I reviewed the CAT Lithium power station and there's a switch for this one.

[@thehammerwell]

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but Ryobi completely failed when designing this unit by not allowing recharging the 18v battery when hooked to an external power supply. Epic Fail

[@Toolspecs]

It sure would of been nice to have this feature.

[@MikeJordanUnCamplicated]

Yes.... EPIC FAIL! Even the cheapest unknownchinesium power stations allow passthrough charging

[@Bacardibombillo]

It has failed in all of its merchandise. None of the charge batteries. I have a Hybrid fan and guess what? You have to remove batt to charge it.

[@rajas1432]

Good one 👍

[@Toolspecs]

Thank you

[@ScottHendrix-ir7uw]

Would it run a coffee maker

[@Toolspecs]

@ScottHendrix-ir7uw most likely not as most coffee makers need 1200w to 1500w but check on the label at the bottom of your. You might be lucky and have one that's 800w

[@josemiguelalarcon8285]

Oye amigo una pregunta la otra ocasión le dejé la batería puesta apagado y la descargo totalmente sin utilizarlo por que pasaría ?

[@Toolspecs]

Every times you leave a battery connected to a tool there's always a chance that some electricity will leak pass the switch. I think that there's even more chance of this happening with the HP tools and batteries because there's circuits that keep monitoring each other to increase performance.

[@zodaguado6655]

New tvs have built in protection, don’t need puresine, if your electronic does not have switch mode power supply, which 99.9 percent do, then throw it away…

[@Toolspecs]

Great information, thanks for sharing!

[@Bacardibombillo]

800w same as 1000w. Is all same just 200w extra

[@Toolspecs]

It's not just 200w extra, there's some upgrades
