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.
