Glenn wrote in about a new 18V power source from Ryobi back in August 2017 that was spotted over in Australia at the Bunnings Warehouse which is a store similar to our Home Depot stores. I wasn’t until over 2 years later that Ryobi finally launched this portable USB power source to us Americans and is known as the P743 here in the USA.
USA model
The new Ryobi 18V power source has two USB ports so you can charge your mobile devices on the go. One USB port is rated for 2.1 amps while the other is rated at 1 amps.
Australian model
EDIT: Has shown up on the HD site for $21.97 (1/23/20)

Man, as a Ryobi fan boy (intersection of price, quality, variety) sure seems like I picked the wrong continent. Australia gets all the cool neon green!
Really wish Ryobi had these available in the US. Ended up buying the USBeast version.
Nice! I’ve considered the m12 version but it seems pricey for what you get. Knowing Ryobi, I imagine this will be in the impulse buy price range. It’s a no-brainer to have one of these for camping or emergencies. I’m sure I’ll get one anyway, but I wish it had a battery fuel gauge and maybe a small led flashlight built in. Don’t need anything fancy, buy it would be helpful in emergencies.
“Battery Fuel Gauge”…the Li batteries have one built in…adding feature will make it more $.
not all Ryobi batteries have fuel gauges and that includes their budget lithium batteries don’t either
Why isn’t this available in the United States ?
Does anyone have a line on how us Yankees can buy this and have it shipped to the US?
I think this was available at HD for about five minutes; now they’ve introduced the inverter, which adda a flashlight and a 150-W AC plug and is three times as expensive 😛
