The Ecoflow River 2 is a versatile 256Wh power station, perfect for off-grid scenarios, whether you need a small in-home portable backup or a power source for your outdoor adventures and camping trips. It features two AC outlets with a 300W output each (600W surge capacity), two USB Type-A ports, and one USB Type-C port. Recharging the River 2 is swift, taking just about an hour with traditional AC power, or you can use solar panels with a maximum input of 110W.

While the 256Wh battery capacity isn't sufficient to replace a full generator, it's more than capable of powering your mobile electronics, including laptops, for several hours to days. The River 2 uses advanced LiFePO4 cells, which are safer and offer a significantly longer cycle lifespan compared to the traditional NCM cells found in the original River model. LiFePO4 cells also experience less calendar aging, though they do have a lower energy density, making the unit slightly heavier. Despite this, the River 2 is impressively lightweight at just 7 pounds.

Although not designed as a UPS for your electronics, the River 2 includes an EPS function that automatically switches to battery power during an outage, with a minimal shutoff delay of less than 30ms, ensuring even sensitive devices like PCs stay powered. However, you'll need to manually switch back to AC power once it's restored. While a dedicated UPS with a replaceable battery might be more suitable, the River 2 can serve as an effective emergency backup.

The River 2 is equipped with smart features, including wireless connectivity. By connecting your phone to the power station via the mobile app, you can monitor its status, download updates, and remotely control the power outlets. Ecoflow is known for its reliable product support and regularly releases firmware and software updates to enhance user experience.
