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

Although the 256Wh battery isn't large enough to replace a full-sized generator, it's more than capable of powering your mobile electronics, such as laptops, for several hours to days. The River 2 utilizes advanced LiFePO4 cells, which offer safer chemistry and a significantly longer cycle lifespan compared to the NCM cells found in the original River model. While LiFePO4 cells have a lower energy density, resulting in a slightly heavier weight, the River 2 still weighs a manageable 7 pounds, which is impressive for its capacity.

While the River 2 isn't designed as a UPS for your electronics, it does include an EPS function that automatically switches to battery power during a power outage, with a shutoff delay of less than 30ms. This delay is short enough to keep even sensitive electronics like PCs running smoothly. However, you'll need to manually switch back to AC power once the electricity returns. Although a dedicated UPS with a replaceable battery would be ideal, the River 2 can serve well in emergencies.

The River 2 also boasts smart functionality with wireless connectivity. By connecting your smartphone to the power station via a mobile app, you can monitor its status, download updates, and remotely control the power outlets. Ecoflow is known for its excellent product support and regularly releases new firmware and software updates to enhance user experience.
