Ryobi 80v 1000watt Power Source MEGA POWER

Ryobi is increasing their efficiency of tool uses and now it's time to focus on the 80v lithium electric platform. This Ryobi Tools 80v lithium electric system is awesome, considering the Ryobi 80v tractor is power by it, you should expect good things. Well, that's what we're getting! This 1800watt starting 1000Watt running power source is a great addition!

Can you leave the mounting plate on and put the battery back in the tractor or zero turn? Great presentation as always!

[@SubieSleeper]

They make a dual blade 30” 80v walk behind too. Wish they sold it as tool only since I’ve got the zero turn already

[@kennypierce9160]

If you don't have any of the 80 fold equipment, can you still buy a battery and a charger?

[@livefreeandtoolon]

Yup

[@olumsezbey]

Power back up if the grid goes down. How well will it run the house furnace, freezer or fridge. I know I keep a fridge in the garage and a box freezer in the furnace room.

[@livefreeandtoolon]

Depends on the wattage of the device you're trying to power., and that will also determine the run time.

[@james2042]

No furnace, this is only 120v. Freezer or fridge depends on starting and running wattage, but for the money you're better off with any of the 3 1800w units, or if you're really concerned about backup power, get an ecoflow

[@olumsezbey]

@@james2042 I’ve got a 120v gas furnace. The only thing I should have to worry about is the fan and some circuitry. I saw a guy show how to power his with his car battery, but I’ve never been able to do it with any of the inverters I have. Eco flow is awesome, but I’m not there yet.

[@olumsezbey]

@@livefreeandtoolon I saw a guy power his furnace with his car battery. Gas furnace with 120v fan, just like mine. I typically keep my batteries in there as well. So far no luck and being able to use them to power the 120v fan and circuits. The wife (ever so ready to jump on a ‘deal’) even bought me a couple of inverters that have both sucked as far as that one simple purpose I asked for. I will say the 6ah 40v allows me to sleep all night with my CPAP!

[@james2042]

@olumsezbey "the fan and some circuitry" I'll make this real easy for you. If the unit as a whole is rated for less tha. 1000 continuous and 1800 startup, you could splice in an outlet that you could plug a cord into, just make sure you turn off the breaker first so it doesn't back feed into your panel. If the ratings aren't on the name plate, stick a clamp meter on it and measure that way. I still strongly advise against doing this because it's just downright dangerous and stupid. Get a proper generator/battery and transfer switch, it's safer and works a lot better.

[@AimingWanderously]

Have you done any math to see how much electricity $ your Ryobi tractor uses recharging in a month of typical use compared to gasoline $ for a comparable gas tractor in a month? I'd be curious to see those results. I'm considering a Ryobi tractor but I worry about my electric bill, perhaps unnecessarily.

[@virgiljohnson4260]

have you ever used any of the 40v or 18v off brand Ryobi batteries they sell on ebay? lots cheaper but i'm not sure how reliable or safe?

[@carlostavaresjr958]

The knockoff tend to be lower ah then advertised. I would look around for OEM batteries on Offerup and Marketplace as people usually sell them second hand.

[@aksejtus]

Can the Mega power be used as the Charger of the 1000 watt battery pack?

[@protonus]

No this is not a charger.

[@virgiljohnson4260]

cost of battery and inverter?

[@protonus]

This unit, the inverter is $279. The 80V batteries come with the mowers, but on their own they are $899. You could google this.

[@virgiljohnson4260]

@@protonus thanks Protonus!

[@protonus]

I got mine today and it doesn't work with the Zero Turn mowers via the charge port, only the lawn tractors. I have the Z54Li. This is awfully dumb and a huge miss on their part. They should offer the parts to make it work with the zero turn mowers too. Only way I can use it is to pull the 80v batteries out and use them individually with it ugh.

[@wrefk]

I'm glad I saw your comment, that's nuts that it doesn't work with the zero turn. Why not?? Really loses a lot of utility. I was ready to buy it, but now probably won't unless a crazy deal comes up for it

[@JoshOrton]

I am assuming it is because the zero turn uses 40v and 80v batteries while the tractor uses only 80v batteries and this converter needs to use only 80v. Maybe try taking out the 40v batteries and see if it works?

[@virgiljohnson4260]

the biggest question is how long do these things power items. one hour is not much

[@livefreeandtoolon]

I stated, 10 hours.....

Pricing?

[@james2042]

299 I believe

[@protonus]

It's $279, not yet available

[@zacharywartley9282]

Is it pure sine wave

[@protonus]

Yes

[@james2042]

The fact theres no integration into the tractor or zt other than it just plugs into the charge port is sad. The whole 80v platform is just half baked and should of never been made if you ask me. Ego has managed to keep everything on their 56v platform and its doing really well for them. Pretty much everything this could power either needs more watts or already has a better portable solution

[@AimingWanderously]

If we've seen anything from Ryobi in recent years it's that they're constantly improving and innovating. Expect more soon.
