jestep Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Just found this by accident, but Ryobi makes this 300W inverter for their 40V lawnmower batteries, which I have since I got a battery powered mower a while back. They also have a smaller 150W one for their smaller batteries. https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-300-Watt-Powered-Inverter-Generator-for-40-Volt-Battery-RYi300BG/308736685 The cool thing about this is you can run emergency tank equipment for a really long time since lithium batteries are so much better than the lead acid ones in normal UPS's at running low power drawing equipment. With minimal equipment you could be good for more than a day on a single battery which beats any normal UPS and you don't have to deal with a generator. For example a Vortech MP40 on a lower setting could do as much as 80 hours on one 6Ah battery, anyone who has dealt with a UPS on their tank can attest how crazy that is. Some of the other brands may have them as well but a super useful product for aquarium emergencies and general power backup without dealing with gas, especially if you already have a mower using the batteries. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Man that’s super cool. I just picked up an ego, and the charger looks very similar ! No inverter options though, at Least on my unit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 This seemed really awesome at first, but.... it doesn't charge the battery. So this would be more useful as a DIY failover in case of power loss and certainly far cheaper than a lithium UPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
