This Ridgid 18V power inverter gives you the freedom to power light duty AC appliances anywhere with just a Ridgid 18V battery! It has a single 120V AC port with 175 watts of continuous power and 3 USB ports (2 USB-A and 1 USB-C) for charging your mobile devices as well. Keep in mind that 175 watts wont power your power tools or a fridge but it’s more than enough to power a flatscreen tv or lights on the go and makes a great power source for when the power goes out. This is good to have for camping trips and for light emergency backup use. This is very similar to TTI sister brand Ryobi’s 18V 150 watt inverter however with a bit more wattage at 175 watts and like the Ryobi also features a built in light which comes in handy for emergency use. I don’t expect it to be very bright but should work in a pinch and if more brightness is required, then plug in a more powerful light into it.
It is scheduled to launch September 2022 for $89.
