so given your tests here the same methods could be applied to running those tools off a regular Lifepo or lead acid battery as well. Nice thanks for posting this video.

great vid as all ways keep them come i watch and thumb up all your vids

what u can do for safe is go to a scrap yard or yard sale or maybe home depo they have ewast bins u can find a bad bater there and make adoter so when your use solar plug in the adper and hook it up to ethere a babter bank or solaer panles

mite wont try put some cap in there to see if it help with start up

Love the dinner you cook im hungry ok 😊😊 can you use more solar pannels to guarantee more stabe power but capped at 50v so early mornings n late evenings or even all night gives some power how can we do that Sir🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤

can find a lot good tool at the scrap yard there in side and get good deep cycal bader for scrap price talk to yuour yard stuff u find there blowyour mind lot ppl get ride of good stuff for scrap becouse bye the tool with a new batter cheeper counse of mine did all the time

That meter can be powered externally so that it does not reset when the voltage gets low. 3 pins on the side. Center pin is +, Pin furthest from wire is -. Needs at least 4V. JR servo connector should work.

Thank you so much for the Ryobi/solar content. I'm just getting into solar, but the content has been very informative and confirmed some of my assumptions when it comes to solar powering some of my own Ryobi arsenal. Were you ever able to identify the purpose of the two additional pins on the Ryobi 18v batteries? I had assumed that they were for temperature control for the chargers but I haven't found a definitive answer. This is extremely simplified, but what I'm looking to do is wire a buck converter (24v -> 21.5v) directly to the internal positive and negative leads of the BMS of one of my batteries. The wiring will be routed out through the bottom or side of the housing with connectors which would allow for the battery to be plugged into a device while also being charged with solar, effectively also powering a device with solar. I may have to experiment with the idea of directly charging to the BMS itself, but if someone else knows the answer that's always preferred :)

But what's the point of hooking up solar wires to a cordless battery tool?? Isn't the attraction of the ryobi platform is that it is cordless??? Now your turning a battery system back into a wired tool no??
