The Ecoflow River 2 is a versatile 256Wh power station, perfect for off-grid use. Whether you need a small in-home portable backup or a reliable power source for your outdoor or camping adventures, this device has you covered. It features two AC outlets with a continuous output of 300W each (and a surge capacity of 600W), two USB Type-A ports, and one USB Type-C port. Recharging is quick and convenient; it takes just about an hour with traditional AC power, or you can opt for solar panels with up to a 110W input.

While the 256Wh battery may not replace a full generator, it's more than capable of powering mobile electronics, including your laptop, for several hours to days. The River 2 employs the advanced LiFePO4 cells, which are not only safer than traditional NCM cells but also boast a much higher cycle lifespan and lower calendar aging. The only trade-off is a slightly lower energy density, resulting in a heavier weight, but at only 7 pounds, the River 2 remains impressively portable for its capacity.

Although not designed as a UPS for your electronics, the River 2 does include an EPS function that automatically switches to battery power during a power outage with a minimal shutoff delay of less than 30ms. This feature is sufficient to keep even sensitive electronics like PCs running smoothly. However, you'll need to manually switch it back to AC power once the power is restored. While a dedicated UPS with a replaceable battery might be more suitable, the River 2 can serve as an effective backup in emergencies.

The River 2 is equipped with smart functionality, allowing wireless connectivity through a mobile app. This feature lets you monitor the power station's status, download updates, and remotely control the power outlets. Ecoflow is known for its robust product support and frequent firmware and software updates, ensuring your device remains up-to-date and performs at its best.
