Ryobi quietly added three portable power stations to its lineup in early 2026 — and the concept behind them is different from most power banks on the market. Instead of a sealed built-in battery you charge on a dedicated charger, these run directly on the same 18V ONE+ or 40V batteries you’re already using in your Ryobi tools. For homeowners who’ve built up a Ryobi battery collection, that means no new ecosystem investment to get portable AC power.
The Three Models, Explained
PCLBG07B — 150W 18V Power Source
The entry-level model is a pure power output device: slot in any 18V ONE+ battery and get up to 150 watts. No battery-charging function. At just 1 pound without a battery, it’s designed for light-duty on-the-go use — charging phones, running a small light, or powering a fan. Ryobi says a 4Ah ONE+ battery drives a 30W TV for about two hours or charges a phone several times over. Available at Home Depot.
PCLBG06B — 200W 18V Power Source and Charger
The 200W model adds two key features: it can recharge your 18V ONE+ batteries (a 2Ah pack fills in as little as 35 minutes via USB-C), and it’s compatible with Ryobi’s 21W and 60W solar panels for renewable recharging. It has two USB-C ports. Practical for camping trips where you want to run devices and keep your tool batteries topped off simultaneously. Available at Home Depot.
RY40BG02B — 300W 40V Power Source and Charger
The top-tier model uses 40V batteries and delivers power through a pure sine wave inverter — the waveform that sensitive electronics like laptops, medical equipment, and audio gear require. Two USB-C ports, one USB-A, and a 120V outlet. It recharges 40V batteries in about 95 minutes via USB-C and works with Ryobi solar panels. Available at Home Depot.
How These Compare to Other Battery Power Stations
The Milwaukee Roll-On 3301R and the EGO NEXUS 1400W operate on a different scale — the EGO runs $899 and is designed to power full-size shop tools on a jobsite. The Ryobi stations are not trying to compete at that level. These are accessories for homeowners and light outdoor use: campsite, tailgate, power outage backup, or garage convenience.
The 300W sine wave output from the RY40BG02B is notably more capable than the wattage suggests for those use cases. It can run a 32-inch TV, charge laptops, and power lights and fans without issue. And for Ryobi 40V users who already own multiple batteries from outdoor power equipment — string trimmers, leaf blowers, mowers — adding the RY40BG02B costs less than buying a dedicated power bank and eliminates another charger from the garage shelf.
Bottom Line
These aren’t replacement generators or jobsite power solutions — they’re practical accessories for a battery ecosystem that many homeowners already own. If you’re all-in on Ryobi’s 40V platform, the RY40BG02B in particular is a low-cost way to extend what those batteries can do beyond the garage. All three models are available now at Home Depot; check ryobitools.com for current pricing.
