Energup 2Port P117 Replacement Charger for Ryobi 18V Batteries - Dual

In this review the Energup 2Port P117 replacement charger is evaluated as a practical solution for homeowners and tradespeople who need to keep multiple Ryobi 18V batteries ready. The bottom line: it is for anyone who wants a straightforward dual-chemistry, dual-bay charger that can top up two 12-18V Ryobi packs at once and provides clear LED status feedback. Its main advantage is simultaneous charging with separate indicator lights and a built-in diagnostic program that simplifies battery care during everyday shop or jobsite use.

Key Features

• Dual-bay charging: Charges two 12-18V Ryobi batteries at the same time so users can keep a spare pack ready while another is in use.
• Dual chemistry support: Handles Li-ion, Ni-MH and Ni-CD batteries so it works with a wide range of Ryobi 18V packs.
• Fast output: Provides up to 3A output for Li-ion packs and 2A for Ni-CD/Ni-MH to reduce downtime compared with trickle charging.
• LED status indicators: Temperature and charge-state lights show standby, charging, full and defective conditions so battery status is easy to monitor.
• Safety checks: Built-in charger diagnostics and compliance with common safety standards help detect bad cells and protect batteries during charge.

Who It's For

This charger is best for DIYers, small contractors, and homeowners who already use Ryobi 18V tools and need an affordable replacement or backup charger capable of handling two batteries simultaneously. It suits users who value clear LED feedback and the flexibility to charge different battery chemistries.

It is less suitable for those who require manufacturer-authorized service or brand-original packaging for warranty reasons, or for users who need ultra-rapid industrial charging well beyond the stated 3A Li-ion output.
