![]() So, I did some math and the battery welder situation looks like this: Ultimately the two systems would be used depending on the situation, with the battery generator being more convenient for short-term use and the gas inverter more suited to longer operation periods. I honestly would consider a battery inverter, but only as a supplement to a gas inverter generator. People in this market niche value the quiet, indoor capable operation that only a battery inverter system can provide. It’s real competition is against single non-removable battery inverter power stations ( like those made by Ecoflow, Jackery and Westinghouse’s iGen line), separate inverter plus battery bank setups (including those meant to work with car batteries), and of course, other tool battery based systems (Ego, Dewalt, Milwaukee, etc.). these tool battery inverter generators fill a specific niche that isn’t in direct competition with gas/propane inverter generators. – higher wattage charging, parallel charging, and a non proprietary charging adapter would be great bonuses – solar pass through like ecoflow’s models have would be a great upgrade to future models. Upgrade in that it uses usb c rather than the 40v model’s proprietary plug. Downgrade in that its 60w, which is less than the 40v models 80w charging adapter. – the 60w usb charging adapter (to charge the batteries using home a/c power) is both an upgrade and downgrade from the 40v model. From what I have seen online, you can parallel a battery inverter generator with a gas one without any issue so long as they are both parallel capable. It can be used with gas inverter generators, even those from other brands. – the AUN9230TT parallel kit is Ryobi’s generic parallel kit that has been out for a while. $800-$1000 dollars isn’t much for what you’re getting. I have a Duracell power source 660 it’s a sla battery with a non sine wave inverter that normally costs $500_$700 it can do similar things but isn’t a pure wave and doesn’t utilize the 20+ batteries I already have (in addition I can use adapters to run DeWalt and Milwaukee batteries on the Ryobi.) I can’t parallel it with a 40V or gas generator. Guess what 20+ year old Ryobi tools still work today. When Makita DeWalt came out came out everyone had to have them they quickly turned into the crap on the bottom shelf in the back of the garage because the batteries eventually crapped out. But since battery tools came out I considered them disposable. I have tools from each of those brands and brands that were top notch at their time, that aren’t even around anymore. Home Depot crap? Where do you get tools? Ryobi may not be a “premier” tool brand but I’ve seen their tools outlast festools hilti greenlee rigid tools. It’s obvious you don’t know what you are talking about because you don’t use equivalent values. ![]() I’m a IBEW LOCAL 134 A card electrician, I know what it costs to custom build high quality equipment. To build something equal to this would take a lot of skill, knowledge, time and equipment to design, build and aquire parts for a similar diy system and another set of skills to build it and program it. ![]()
