I agree with your reasoning, but for my use (home DIY only) I like that I can put 6 batteries on this and not charge them all at the same time (one, then the next, etc.). I also like the smaller footprint of this versus multiple chargers as well as the reduced number of required outlets.

Detron Phillips: Hello Detron, your reasoning is very sound, thus with each of your points I completely agree. Your reasoning or mine depends on case usage. For a home user not under time constraints, having limited space and limited outlets your reasoning is excellent. On a job site having multiple batteries swapping needing charged my reasoning is equally as good. It is my hope those reading your and my reasoning will come away with something helpful.

MP Rents it looks awesome! We just ordered one. Should have it by the end of the week! 😁

I wish they would do a inverter like DeWalt using a batteries

@@jdcairncross3631 They have the Ryobi 40V inverter.

@@shockjock35 right but I don't want to invest in 40v system just to have that and I have loads of Ryobi 18v batteries. Also there is only one battery with low wattage compared to the DeWalt powerstation unit that uses multiple batteries and has more power for longer run time.

Stevmstng 516 we did just hit 5,000 subs... we should probably celebrate with another tool giveaway... Any recommendations on what we should giveaway?

Yeah me to, trying so hard to find a troubleshooting guide

I had the same problem and was about to return it to Home Depot - then I watched this video and realized two things...I didn't have the batteries in the correct port beginning with the one labeled 1 and the second labeled 2, also I didn't have them in so that I heard the click - if they are hanging somewhat loose then they haven't been engaged in the port correctly. Try giving them solid slap into the port - you should hear a click and they should not be loose, but solidly positioned in the charger. Mine is working now.

Definitely needs an update, would be nice if they also threw in an inverter like the Dewalt Flexvolt Power Station that can both charge batteries and use the batteries to power AC devices.

@@ZeoCyberG I am not impressed with single batt charging If it could charge multiple batts at once it would a killer tool for a shop

And I agreed, chargers are a important factor in getting the most use out of the cordless tools, I just added what I think it should also have if they ever update it... And we shouldn't also forget fast charging for their larger capacity high performance batteries and not just fast charging of their small batteries that they pointed out is a issue in the video as well... It's been a long time since Ryobi updated their chargers. So hopefully they're going to do something about it soon...

@@ZeoCyberG I haven't got into the uber hugh size batts yet

Don't have to, it applies to all but the smallest batteries. Same as with lack of multiple simultaneous charging, inability to fast charge anything larger than a small battery means most of the battery platform will take awhile to charge and that can add up if you're running multiple tools with multiple batteries... It all comes down to how long it takes if you have to wait for the batteries to charge...
