Black Flag Power Pack — Ryobi® 18V ONE+

The Black Flag Power Pack puts your Hammerhead® vacuum on the Ryobi® 18V ONE+ platform — the same batteries already charged and sitting in your truck. Single slot, single switch, and light enough to carry in one hand. This is the pack you grab when the cart isn't making it to the pool: down a side gate, up a flight of steps, around the back of a screen enclosure. Clip in a battery, flip the switch, and go. When it runs low, swap in a fresh pack and keep cleaning. No cords, no cart, no wrestling gear across a lanai.

Built for the route

Runs on Ryobi® 18V ONE+ — one platform for your tools and your vac, all charged off the same chargers (interactive runtime calculator below)

Hot-swap in seconds — fresh pack in, back to work, no downtime

Genuinely light — single-slot by design, so there's nothing extra to haul

9" paracord handle — upgraded, hand-braided, and comfortable to carry loaded

Heavy-duty D-rings — upgraded hardware for the included shoulder strap; sling it and keep both hands free

High-temp ABS housing — holds its shape in a closed truck bed in a Florida August

Single on/off switch — one control, nothing to fumble with wet hands

Fits the Hammerhead® plug — plus a spare male adapter in the box to convert any other vacuum over

FAQ

Which Ryobi batteries work with it? Any Ryobi® 18V ONE+ battery, standard or HIGH PERFORMANCE. A 2Ah keeps it feather-light for a quick single pool; a 6Ah, 8Ah, or 12Ah will carry you across several. Use the runtime calculator above to see what your packs will actually give you.

Does it fit the standard Hammerhead plug? Yes. It outputs 12V through the same connector your vacuum already uses — plug in and go. No splicing, no rewiring.

I don't run a Hammerhead. Can I still use it? Most likely. Every unit ships with a spare male adapter so you can convert almost any 12V pool vacuum over to the platform. If you're unsure about your model, message us before you order and we'll tell you straight.

How long does one battery last? Depends on the pack — check the calculator below for your specific size. And because swapping takes seconds, your real runtime is however many Ryobi batteries you've got in the truck.

Why only one battery slot? Because that's the whole point of this one. Single-slot keeps it small, light, and easy to carry to pools a cart can't reach. If you'd rather have longer runtime between swaps, look at the dual-slot DeWalt® Power Station instead.

When will mine ship? Wave 1 is made to order, so plan on about 2 weeks. If you need it faster for a specific job, reach out and we'll tell you where you land in the queue.
