Ryobi One+ 18 volt 800 watt Multi Source Modified Sine Wave Inverter RYi8030AVNM

Ryobi One+ 18 volt 800 watt Multi Source Inverter RYi8030AVNM
Big Thanks to Ryobi and The Home Depot for providing the sample. Get it at Home Depot item number 316453021.
This is the second venture into an 18v inverter by Ryobi. This one is pretty nice because you can power it from three different sources. You can get a full 800 watts (although only 600 from one outlet) using the clamps to hook it to a 12 battery, 300 watts from any Ryobi 18v battery, or 120 watts from a 12 volt auto outlet.
It has two 2.4 amp USB outlets and one 20W USB C outlet, and an auto style 12v outlet.
The inverter is a Modified Sine Wave inverter.
The display is easy to read and will display Watts or Voltage. Keep in mind, the watts it is showing does not include the 13- 25 watts it uses to power the inverter.
I own a bunch of inverters. This is ok, but not great. But, if you have a ton of Ryobi batteries, this is really nice to have in a pinch.

[@shovelhead8]

Handy if you have all those batteries. And they are charged up. Thank you for showing this to us, Fernbark. Stay safe and stay warm

[@FernbarkFrist]

If you don't already have a pile of these batteries, it doesn't make much sense, but many people who have Ryobi stuff have a bunch of these batteries.

[@Coxfame]

So I found this unit at homedepot. I would use this unit to power my tvs, router and security cameras as for fans I have 2 ryobis cordless fans during power outrage. Thanks for the info.

[@FernbarkFrist]

You are welcome.

[@BURNWOODBUSHCRAFT]

That is a great power alternative for emergencies for sure. Excellent review!

[@FernbarkFrist]

It is pretty handy.

[@rytjson4487]

Have used this for year.. this is the best damn investment ever .. powers my sump pump for defrosting cases

[@s3fields1]

Thanks to you I did not return it!!🥰 You said hold down the on button and now it works!! I was so irritated!! Lol Phew!

[@FernbarkFrist]

Glad to have helped.

[@pacificbushcraftandfirecra6358]

Like you said... if you got all them batteries like you, it's nice to have that power available for other uses! Great review Brother.

Testing everything is important.

[@tracyphillips3325]

Total complete review, even the accidental drop.

[@jimnorwood8748]

My bad, found it on HD page in the ADDITIONAL RESOURCES box.

[@dubc3615]

I like the display and info it provides and having portable power with the batteries is really nice. I have a hard time sleeping without a fan so this during a power outage would be a life saver. Awesome Review.

[@FernbarkFrist]

Thanks, this is a great item to have if you own a bunch of these batteries.

[@87espinoza87]

I have one question that even the ryobi customer service couldn’t answer. Does this thing have a low battery voltage shut off to protect you’re car battery from completely draining.

[@pako4857]

Yes

[@jimnorwood8748]

Oughta be a law... I can't find a manual for this. Can you figure a max amp-draw spec for the 120v outlet? Thanks.

[@FernbarkFrist]

Depends on your power source. Tells you the max watts per power source right on the device. Divide the max watts by the voltage of the source and you have your amps.

[@jimnorwood8748]

@@FernbarkFrist Thanks!

[@dondiego124]

Thanks for the video.

[@DoritosResidue]

I like this and I have enough ryobi batteries to support this inverter. But no bi directional nor pass through discharge or charging... this is why bluetti, ecoflow etc is killing this type of market. I only see this as good if you already have a bunch of ryobi batteries. Otherwise something like the bluetti can be cheaper that this ryobi set up

[@FernbarkFrist]

No pass thru is a real bummer. Even more of a bummer on their big 40v model. Makes no sense.

[@danielbuchanan5327]

Can use three different power sources??? Very nice and flexible!

[@FernbarkFrist]

Yes, absolutely

[@vinasmj]

Can you charge your car battery if your car battery is dead?

[@FernbarkFrist]

No, I tested to see if power would come out of the clamps if the 18v battery was in, and it does not.

[@mrr1492]

Can this be used to power a heated chicken water dispenser? How long would the ryobi battery last? How long would the 12v last? Can solar panels be hooked up to recharge the batteries?

[@FernbarkFrist]

Depends. Depends. Depends. Yes, but not to this unit.

[@e2mwpg]

You might want to watch this video to see how to hook up a solar panel to charge portable batteries. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHPPfKCcfrNng9U

[@smittyone66]

will it run a sump pump? if so would I need a 12 battery to run it? Thanks

[@FernbarkFrist]

Since I have no idea what the power requirements for your pump are, there is no way I can tell you.

[@MrChuntaro]

What size was the space heater?

[@FernbarkFrist]

400 watts

[@grindychum]

Is the 12v output regulated?

[@FernbarkFrist]

Great question. I don't know.

[@MontenegroNoel]

Did you use a lithium ion / phosphate battery ? It says lead acid only … hope you can use a lithium battery.

[@FernbarkFrist]

I used an LFP battery. Perhaps I should not have used one. Always follow the directions, not what I might do. Although, the One+ batteries are all Li.

[@MontenegroNoel]

@@FernbarkFrist no if it works I’d be interested in using it myself … with lithium phosphate

[@randacnam7321]

@@MontenegroNoel LiFePO4 will be fine as long as it has a BMS, since the low charge cutoffs are different than lead acid.

Nice.

Thank you! Cheers!

[@BadfingerFan]

Since the Inverter's 18 volt battery circuit is limited to 300 watts, wouldn't it use less wattage than the 12 volt 800 watt circuit when nothing is plugged into either one of them?

[@FernbarkFrist]

No, the inverter uses the same power regardless of the power source. The inverter is probably 12v and there is a step down buck converter to convert the 18v to 12v if I had to guess.

[@BadfingerFan]

@@FernbarkFrist Thank you. This is an excellent video, by the way.

[@randacnam7321]

@@FernbarkFrist There are 2 different 140V supplies for the inverter H bridge. One runs off the 18V battery port and I think (didn't do a full reverse engineer of the PCB) the 12V cigarette lighter cord port. The other runs off the 12V binding posts. There are also various isolation diodes for the rail that feeds the brain box and the USB and 12V ports on the front.

[@ThatCleanMT]

Why does the screen look like crap?

[@FernbarkFrist]

There was a sticker on it from the factory that left residue and I am having trouble cleaning it off.

[@kamalakrsna]

Drain your battery w/no load ? Hmmm ... I think I'll pass.

[@FernbarkFrist]

Every inverter that is turned on will do that regardless of who made it. It is just something to be aware of.

[@tracyphillips3325]

Great review Fernbark. That inverter can come in handy. I like the fact it has a few different ways to power it. You have all the cool gadgets! Take care and have a great day!

[@FernbarkFrist]

Thanks for watching! I don't have all the cool gadgets. I barely own any Dewalt products.

[@ddj197834]

I can't believe these are $50 on clearance at home Depot

[@wrenchdoozer]

Thanks for mentioning that it is a modified sine wave inverter (saved me time from looking it up). Good for many things around the house but not for a backup power source for medical equipment.

[@FernbarkFrist]

Probably not. I would imagine you will want something that is better (and almost certainly a lot more money).

[@FreedomFinanceFun]

That's wild, it can't charge battery

[@FernbarkFrist]

Yup.

[@voltron5128]

Would of been a winner if they made it pure sinewave

[@FernbarkFrist]

Yes, a huge miss. But that probably would have made it $100 more, and would have killed the price point for this unit.

[@futbol1972]

Do I need on of this for home user?? Trying to justify what would I need it for. Lol

[@FernbarkFrist]

Probably not for home use at all. Nice in the car. I go camping a lot and use it to charge stuff.

[@futbol1972]

@Garage Kitchen of Science I guess I don't really need it. I never go camping:(

[@pl2996]

[@colindgrant]

Great video, I like how you actually validated power flows and went into detail about how it works. Thanks!

[@FernbarkFrist]

Glad you liked it Colin

[@gilbertos1984]

Hi. You said the 120v output can only do 650 watt for 30 min. Why is that?

[@FernbarkFrist]

It will get hot and trigger a safety mechanism to shut it down till cools.

[@123tanners]

How did you get that New Glarus beer Fern? Road trip??

[@FernbarkFrist]

They ship it to me. I am the only place outside of Wisconsin you can get it because I am not afraid to do a 4 foot drop test....or possibly my mom lives in Wisconsin and load up every Mother's Day when I visit.

[@123tanners]

@@FernbarkFrist I’m not a big beer drinker, but I do like the Spotted Cow.

@@FernbarkFrist I tried to have it shipped to me a few years back but TN was on a list that couldn't have alcohol shipped. I work all over the country so I've found a lot of favorites. Madison, WI was the New Glarus brews. Funny thing I just mentioned this very thing yesterday.

[@kevinford7330]

Can you jump a car battery with it?

[@FernbarkFrist]

No, there isn't any voltage coming thru the terminals with the 18v battery plugged in.

[@e2mwpg]

Ryobi makes a larger unit that allows for this.
