10/6/2023 0 Comments Ryobi 18v converter![]() See my other products for dual 18v packs with a cord that may be used in other 40v tools not listed here. The last two pictures in this listing give dimensions with batteries inserted. This adapter certainly works electrically in any tool, but may only fit mechanically in some tools due to clearance around the battery pack area. The Battery Management System (BMS) built into all Ryobi 18v batteries will still provide a safe low voltage cut-off when the batteries are used in series to power a 40v tool. The point is options.This adapter allows for two 18-volt batteries to be used in place of the 40v battery in many Ryobi tools. (Or even plugged into a larger battery bank with AC or a generator or something. An EGO version of this adapter would be super useful considering some of those batteries are over $400+ usd and sometimes you just need to use it for a moment. Maybe I'll take the trimmer apart and see what there is to see. Any more info on this or any other projects would be great to know. There's also a website LCD Payless and some of the other links shared here where someone has apparently already built the seemingly 3d printed battery plug housing which connects to an Ac-dc adapter and plugs into the adapter with a barrel plug. Id like to compare the hackaday and DIY builds for these vs what Ryobi themselves put underneath. Given that one or more tools are hybrids, the proper dropdown components are hiding behind that slider. If all the tools were like this it would be awesome. The older green Ryobi one+ trimmer/weedwacker is hybrid - has a sliding cover where the battery plugs in for AC cord like a wired hedge trimmer or the battery. And then think about whether people would actually buy them as they might not be as cheap as people would hope. They will need to balance between a reasonably sized adapter that might only power a small range of tools, or an absolute mammoth that can power everything. So yeah, I doubt it would be practical for ryobi to manufacture an AC adaptor for direct usage on tools. It can pump out massive current, though obviously how long it can do so depends on the capacity, and if you've tried out cheap aftermarket batteries before, you'd find that they struggle powering stuff like your grinders and vacuums because they really can't handle the power draw like genuine batteries. An angle grinder might pump out even more. I got one because I was planning on doing the exact same thing except I'm procrastinating at the amount of hassle right now.Ĭonsider this with different power draws of different tools. Technology hasn't caught up enough where we see devices the size of a phone powering an entire city like in iron man. That would be a massive power supply unit about the size of a brick. This means that the device would be drawing 16A. ![]() If memory serves, the rated runtime of some of their 18v vacuum cleaners is 15 minutes on a 4 amp hour battery. Your vacuum cleaner draws considerably more power. Based on commercial availability from Chinese manufacturers, I'd hazard a guess that they'd be mass ordering standard 2A plugs for a cheap price. ![]() The really cheap stuff.īear in mind the power draw of such hybrid devices. Because if you look into those hybrid devices, the part where you plug in the AC is actually just one of those switching power supply plug packs.
