Ryobi 40v Charger 

You may have done an episode on this since you shot this video, but if you haven't and are unaware, I'd like to point out that since Ryobi has introduced 4 volt USB charged battery tools, this charger is especially useful for charging them. Thanks for checking the pass-through charging on the USB. That let's me know that I can charge both types of batteries at the same time. Just charging the 4 volt from the 40 volt was going to be handy, but pass through is even better. Rock on Ryobi! (that's code for Let's go Brandon!) LOL

Yeah I have 3 of these charges that came with tools and they all have the USB port on them. I wonder if they stopped including them. One thing I hate about this charger is that the power supply plug in is on the same side as the charging light indicators on the battery so if you want to have a look at the batteries flashing lights the cord has to be turned and routed backward which feels like it may be hard on this flimsy charger in my opinion. Great vid!

Thank you for clarifying. The channel is growing a lot I have noticed so keep up the good work!

I'm struggling to think of a situation where this would be a good solution. I know this video is 3 years old but probably around 10 years ago I got a power bank/external battery that is smaller one piece and there's no way I spent $50 for it. It easily keeps me charged up on a 3 day camping trip with enough juice to share with whoever needs to top off their phone as well. The lack of usefulness is probably why Ryobi dropped the usb port on newer products.

I bought two products over a year ago and both came with the usb charger.

Im pretty sure I got the 40v USB charger with a tool, I think the 40v mower. I havent bought any 40v charger separately from a tool.

You have things a little bit backwards. The charger without USB just recently started being bundled in with tools. All older 40volt tools came with the USB charger if it had that profile charger. It's a shame they stopped giving it with tools. It came with my blower and mower, on the newer models it's been downgraded to the one without USB.

We lose power at our house semi-frequently (most people on our street do) for some reason. We use these chargers with Onite lights so we can have lights at our house when there is no power. Onite 20-US24USB3W-WW USB Camping

I understand the difference but for me one USB port isn't w0rth $54 plus tax. I don't have a workshop yet and I usually charge my phone at night charger is ony nightstand. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and videos Rodney

I have 2 that came with the weed eaters that have the usb

It's to late, now I have both, I found out after I got the other charger.

Why don't you take off the cases and see if there is a space to solder on a usb socket?

They should have just included the usb on the included charger. I’d rather just get the inverter.

Hey man. I am a big fan of the channel. I have a question. I noticed these started coming with almost all the 40v tools. Is there a reason they don’t include the wall chargers anymore? Is there something wrong with the wall chargers?

A 6 minute video to answer a question that could be shown in 30 seconds or less I just wanted to know where I plug in the charger geez

Great video Dave! Still the price difference for a USB I think it’s not worth it, but I’m not a fan of Ryobi anyway ...but for the groupies... it’s a must have! Thx again!

What is the type of wire lost it and don’t need the actual charger

I got the 40 volt Inverter and the lawnmower came with the charger without the USB port should I just keep the inverter?

Can u charge the replacement 40v battery for ryobi on that charger?

I plugged the USB into my phone just like you did, and it did not show me the charge %. How did you get that on your phone?

Quick question, how long does one of those batteries take to charge and how long on average would the battery last say if I was running it until it died ?

What kind of charger does it have?

This is not the rapid charger.

Like 👍

Yes it’s really difficult to see the difference between a charger with a USB port and a charger that doesn’t. WOW you’re a genius 🤣👎

Darn I was going to say first

First

Perhaps you should consider changing the name of this video to RYOBI USB CHARGER. I sat through this video thinking I might actually learn something about the Ryobi battery/charger. Another wasted six minutes.
