Having invested in the 80V line of tools its exciting to see that the power inverter for 80V has finally been released. Easy to use, pop you battery in, turn on and you have 2 usb ports and 1 power outlet. Very happy with performance, a 2.5AH battery was able to power my 22" TV for almost 5 hours. Looking forward to getting more use out of my batteries by using this outdoors and camping. Also gives me peace of mind to have an outlet available during a power outage.
Pretty useful if you have a power outage. I tried this out with a fan & it kept the fan running for about 4 hours at full blast & oscillating. Going to use it to power my modem and router during an outage.
This is an excellent idea. I was checking almost on a daily basis when it will be offered. I checked the AC power plug and it works well with light, and tool battery charger. The usb charger work but unfortunately not fast charger. Overall I am more than happy with the product. Thanks Greenworks
Been waiting for this and would have been handy months ago. I have powerbanks with 3 prong inputs but they don't compare to this thing since it can output 300 watts. Lucky to get 100 watts from power banks. My scrawny power banks couldn't power my kids gaming laptops but this can, and have a lot of batteries so the fun can keep on going for a good amount of time. I've used this on a 55" TV and got 1hour of run out of it from a 2ah battery. I also trimmed some wood in my shed with a multitool so the doors would close better. Loved taking this out instead of the 100 foot extension cord that would get covered in snow. Easily charge 3 things at once. It is as close to a portable power outlet you can get.
The photo on the announcement for the new 80v Inverter shows a backpacker using his phone plugged into the unit strapped on his pack...except, the inverter comes with clear safety instructions with the manual and warnings on the unit that include: FOR INDOOR USE ONLY SHOULD BE PLACED ON FLAT SURFACE
Otherwise, mine is brand new. It seems solid, well built. I tested it with with a lamp, 19inch TV and also the USB outside on two batteries (2ah and 4ah). No problems! I admit being one of those asking Greenworkstools to develop this product and am glad they did. My plans were, and are, backup power at home, RV use when boondocking and convenient charging around the house. Further review planned for the future.
I first purchased a Greenworks 80V chainsaw for firewood and also trail maintenance for downed trees. Since then my 80v collection is getting bigger with many batteries. I go to outdoor remote places for my work and hobbies such as mountain biking, camping, hiking and landscape photography. With this Greenworks 80V inverter, I can charge all of our digital devices and more from the 3 prongs outlet. It's small considering how much power it can deliver and how versatile it is. I can charge these batteries in the car on my way to locations. That makes it even more green. Keep up the good work. I'm a proud owner of Greenworks tools!
