The Ecoflow River 2 is a versatile 256Wh power station perfect for off-grid adventures, whether you're using it as a compact in-home backup or a reliable power source during your outdoor escapades. It features two AC outlets capable of 300W each (with a 600W surge capacity), two USB Type-A ports, and one USB Type-C port. You can recharge it quickly in about an hour using traditional AC power, or opt for eco-friendly solar charging with a maximum input of 110W.

While the 256Wh battery may not replace a full generator, it's more than sufficient to keep your mobile electronics, including laptops, powered for several hours to days. The River 2 is equipped with advanced LiFePO4 cells, which offer safer chemistry and a significantly longer cycle lifespan compared to the traditional NCM cells found in the original River. Although LiFePO4 cells have a lower energy density, resulting in a slightly heavier unit, the River 2 still maintains a lightweight profile at just 7 pounds, which is impressive for its capacity.

Although not designed as a dedicated UPS, the River 2 includes an EPS function that automatically switches to battery power during outages with a minimal shutoff delay of less than 30ms. This feature ensures even sensitive devices like PCs stay on. However, you'll need to manually switch back to AC power when it returns. While a dedicated UPS with a replaceable battery might be more suitable, the River 2 serves well in emergencies.

With smart functionality and wireless connectivity, the River 2 allows you to connect via a mobile app. This app enables you to monitor the power station's status, download updates, and control outlets remotely. Ecoflow is known for its robust product support, regularly releasing new firmware and software updates to enhance user experience.
