How to Use a Ryobi In-Vehicle Charger With Lithium Ion Batteries

Ryobi manufactures a number of different power tools that are run on portable and chargable lithium ion batteries. However, people who work out of their vehicles a lot need an easy way to keep their batteries charged. Ryobi makes an in-car lithium ion battery charger. The only drawback is that the charging station runs on an AC 120-socket like those found in homes, not usually in trucks or cars. However, this can be remedied by the use of a simple power inverter.
