1$239.00 save 48%$124.87 at AliExpressUse code 'IFP3TXY'The Ecoflow River 2 is a 256Wh power station tailored for off-grid use, perfect for both small in-home portable backups and as a reliable power source during your outdoor or camping adventures. It features two AC outlets capable of delivering 300W each (with a 600W surge), two USB Type-A ports, and one USB Type-C port. You can recharge it in about an hour using traditional AC power, or opt for solar recharging with a maximum input of 110W.
While the 256Wh battery may not replace a full-sized generator, it's more than capable of powering your mobile electronics, including laptops, for several hours to days. The River 2 employs advanced LiFePO4 cells, which are not only safer than the traditional NCM cells found in the original River but also boast a much longer cycle lifespan and reduced calendar aging. The downside of LiFePO4 is its lower energy density, resulting in a slightly heavier weight, but at only 7 pounds, the River 2 remains impressively lightweight for its capacity.
Although not designed as a UPS for your electronics, the River 2 includes an EPS function that seamlessly switches to battery power during outages with a shutoff delay of less than 30ms, ensuring even sensitive devices like PCs remain operational. You'll need to manually switch back to AC power once it returns. While a dedicated UPS with a replaceable battery might be preferable, the River 2 can serve as an effective emergency backup.
The River 2 also offers smart functionality through wireless connectivity. By connecting your phone via the Ecoflow mobile app, you can monitor the power station's status, download updates, and remotely control the power outlets. Ecoflow is known for its robust product support, regularly releasing new firmware and software updates to enhance user experience.
