While I'm waiting for the new RYOBI 150W 18V Inverter with Solar Charging that was announced 9/2021 to come out, I thought I'd look at the new RYOBI 120W Modified Sine Wave Car Inverter. It's only $50 at Home Depot and works with a 12V Cigarette socket or a RYOBI 18V One+ Battery! It has a single 120V AC socket and two 2.4A USB A ports. I ran load and capacity tests. It beat its specs, but is not super efficient (70%). It's a shame that it doesn't have a USB C port. It would be even better if it had a bi-directional USB C PD port that could be used to charge the 18V battery from Solar.

Things I used:
* 9ah Battery ( amzn.to/32ypiQ0 )
* USB Tester ( amzn.to/3JtfVSA)
* 12V Socket with Alligator Clamps ( amzn.to/3qsCjE2 )
* RYOBI RYi120AVNM (homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-ONE-18V-120-Watt-12V-Automotive-Power-Inverter-with-Dual-USB-Ports-RYi120AVNM/316452902 )
