Product Information

Keep in mind that all EcoFlow portable power stations offer solar charging. Connect a 110W portable solar panel to the RIVER 2, and you can keep your smartphone and laptop charged off-grid indefinitely. What Kind of Solar Charger Can Charge the RIVER 2 Solar Generator? Capacity (Wh) / DC input rate (W) = Charge time (h). How Long Does RIVER 2 Take to Fully Charge Using the USB-C Input? The best portable power station for you depends on your use case and electricity consumption needs.

ECOFLOW Portable Power Station RIVER 2 MAX, 512Wh LiFeP04

With so many EcoFlow solutions to choose from, look for an option that fits your budget and fully meets your needs. With six outlets and 1800W of electricity output, you can use it to power 90% of appliances. X-Boost gives you up to 2700W of surge power to get major appliances up and running. The device works great for its intended use which is to run my work-from-home setup during loadshedding. It can run my laptop, monitor and a network switch for just under 4 hours (about 25 - 30 watt load). Gaming is also possible with this unit but it depends on your hardware... Xbox Series S and a monitor requires around 80-90 watts during gameplay. A larger console or gaming PC will reduce this time because they use a lot more power. For example, if you want to power a 50W laptop and a 200W 20” (50.8 cm) box fan, you’d get a total wattage of 250W. Divide the 256Wh capacity by 250W of power needed, and you could run these appliances for roughly one hour.The 220W PV panel comes at a higher price, and some of the energy it captures will likely go to waste… The rated power of the 110W portable solar panel is perfectly matched to the solar input capacity of the RIVER 2. But, due to the factors outlined above, you won’t achieve 110W of electricity generation consistently. However, you also won’t pay for electricity generation capacity that doesn’t get used. Remember that even if you attach a 160W solar panel, the maximum electricity it can generate when connected to RIVER 2 remains 110W. It’s crucial to understand that solar panels (from any manufacturer) rarely reach their total rated power output due to environmental conditions like temperature and other factors.

EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max Portable Power Station

The EcoFlow DELTA Pro is the largest, most powerful portable power station in the EcoFlow line. It begins at 3600Wh of electricity storage capacity, expandable to as much as 25kWh. One DELTA Pro delivers 3600W of power output and 7200W of surge power with X-Boost. You can chain 2 DELTA Pros together using a Double Voltage Hub and double your power output capacity to 7200W/240V.And, on a related note, it’s also a little irritating that, if you forget to turn off the power station using the master power button, the battery steadily drains over time. There doesn’t appear to be any way of setting a time out, so you’ll just have to remember to turn it off every time you finish using it. If any of your devices have a higher starting wattage, you’ll also need to factor that in. RIVER 2 provides up to 600W starting watts (surge power) using X-Boost mode. Can You Run RIVER 2 and Charge It at the Same Time? The DELTA Pro charges completely in as little as 1.8 hours using an AC wall outlet or between 2.8 and 5.6 hours (depending on environmental factors) using 4 x 400W solar panels (1600W). However, if you’re powering something like a lightbulb at 60 running watts, you could get over 4 hours of power.
