Product Overview
The Ryobi PCLBG06 is a 200W continuous power source and battery charger designed for use with Ryobi 18V battery packs. It features a 120V AC receptacle, a USB-A fast charge port, and two USB-C ports (one bidirectional 60W, one 30W). It also includes an integrated LED task light with adjustable brightness.
Operation
Powering Devices: Insert a charged Ryobi 18V battery pack. Press the power button for 1 second to turn the unit ON. The LED will light up green when ready. Plug your devices into the USB ports or the 120V AC receptacle.
Charging the Battery: The unit can charge an 18V battery using the 60W USB-C port when connected to a USB-C power source (wall adapter, solar panel, or vehicle port). For best results, use a 30W or higher USB-C power source.
Hibernation Mode: The unit features an automatic shutdown timer to conserve battery. By default, it turns off after 3 hours of no significant power draw. You can toggle this mode by holding the Task Light button and the USB Power button (for ON) or AC Power button (for OFF) for 5 seconds.
LED Indicators
The unit features LED indicators to communicate status:
- AC Power ON: Solid Green.
- USB Power ON: Solid Green.
- AC/USB Overload: Flashing Red (Reduce load and press power button to reset).
- High Temperature: Flashing Yellow (Allow unit to cool and press power button to reset).
- Low Battery Alert: Flashing Green (Charge battery).
Maintenance and Storage
Periodically inspect the product for damaged, missing, or loose parts. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts; use a clean cloth to remove dirt, dust, oil, or grease. Store the unit indoors in a dry, locked place, out of the reach of children, without the battery pack installed.
