ECOFLOW Portable Power Station RIVER 2 MAX, 512Wh LiFeP04 Battery/ 1 Hour Fast Charging, Up To 1000W Output, Solar Generator (Panel Not Inc.) for Outdoor Camping/RVs/Home Use

Product Information

The 512Wh battery is ideally suited for camping activities, and there's enough power on offer to charge phones, notebooks, and other tech accessories in addition to projectors. The fact that the batteries are based on LiFePO4 tech means they should be much more durable than standard Lithium-ion batteries, and the long-term warranty alleviates any worries in this area.

Any EcoFlow PPS can serve as an emergency power source (EPS) with a 30-millisecond switch time when using power from an AC wall outlet. Yes, you can simultaneously operate the PPS and charge it. Simply plug the RIVER 2 into an AC outlet and plug whatever device needs power into the appropriate outlet on the PPS. In ideal storage conditions, a RIVER 2 will only lose 2% of its power each month after it’s fully powered and unplugged. To figure this out, you’ll need to divide the storage capacity of the RIVER 2, which is 256Wh, by the wattage of the appliances you want to charge. With RIVER 2 Pro, you can connect up to two 110W solar panels or a 220W bifacial solar panel, giving you a solar generator that fully recharges in 4.5 – 9 hours, depending on environmental conditions. Battery Chemistry: LFP (LiFePO4)

The River 2 Max delivers high capacity, lots of connectivity and super-fast charging at a competitive price

RIVER 2’s maximum solar input is 110W. You can use any solar panel with a rated power of 110W (or slightly above) to charge the RIVER 2 — instantly turning it into a solar generator! Since the RIVER 2’s capacity is 256Wh, you’d divide that by the max watts of the USB-C input/output: 256Wh / 60W = 4.3 hrs. Since 60W is the maximum USB-C input, and the actual charge may be lower, you can round up to account for the potential extra time to charge fully.

RIVER 2 is the smallest portable power station in the RIVER 2 series. It’s more powerful than a power bank and more compact than other portable power stations. Significantly, LiFePO4 batteries require no cobalt — one of the primary materials used in traditional Li-ion batteries. 70% of the world’s cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, where both mining and processing are carried out under extremely cruel labour conditions by children as young as six years old. Can You Keep RIVER 2 Outdoors? EcoFlow RIVER 2 series portable power stations start at 7.7 lbs (3.5 kg) and go up to 17.2 lbs (7.8 kg).

Specs

I used the River 2 Max for just over three months now, and other than the minor quibble around the solitary USB-C port, I have no issues with the power station. It performed incredibly well in daily use, powering most products I have in the house without any issues whatsoever. The ability to charge the unit via solar power makes it that much more versatile, and if you choose to use the AC option, there's fast charging that takes under an hour to fully charge the battery.

RIVER 2 Max also uses advanced LFP battery chemistry. EcoFlow’s LiFePO4 batteries have an extraordinarily long lifespan: six years longer than the industry standard. To be safe, allot five to six hours for your RIVER 2 to charge fully using the USB-C input. Is RIVER 2 Expandable?

The River 2 Max charges just about anything you have, and has all the ports you need.

The EcoFlow RIVER 2 series offers industry-leading portable power stations and whole home generator solutions for any application. All RIVER 2 series portable power stations feature industry-leading LFP (LiFePO4) battery chemistry. Longer lifespans, lower weight, and a wider range of operating temperatures are just a few of the benefits LFP offers. EcoFlow RIVER 2: The Final Verdict RIVER 2 is the next generation of EcoFlow’s game-changing RIVER series that redefines what compact off-grid power can mean… Need to charge numerous devices at once? With multiple AC, USB-A, USB-C, and DC outlets, RIVER 2 has you covered. Fast Charging with X-Stream: 0-100% in 1 hour If you need more power, consider upgrading to other RIVER 2 series devices, such as the RIVER 2 Pro or RIVER 2 Max — each of which offers greater AC output. RIVER 2 Pro offers 800W running watts and up to 1600W starting watts (surge power) using X-Boost.
