18V ONE 150 Watt POWER SOURCE

Living in Guam, we tend to have power issues a lot, plus the occasional typhoon comes through. We recently had our worst typhoon in 20 years and power was out for the whole island. I had received this about a week prior, before the typhhon had even been named. What luck. ALl of my tools are Ryobi, so I have like 12 batteries and a 6 pack charger. When we lost power (which ended up being close to 11 days), we were able to keep our cell phones and tablets / ipads charged. Our cell company maintained service, so at least we were able to contact folks, track recovery status and provide some entertainment. My work place had a generator for the building, so I was able to recharge the batteries there. The lights and operation were pretty straight forward once I realized when you initially turned it on, you had to hold the power button and wait for the inverter to power up. first few times I didn’t hold long enough and though the battery was too low. I didn’t get into too much testing in terms of other appliances, items (except my Kurig, which was too big a load)This is small, light portable, and if you already have a supply of Ryobi batteries, a no brainer.
