PRESENTED BY:### Ecoflow River 2 240Whr LiFePO4 Portable Power Station

1$239.00 save 48%$124.87 at AliExpressUse code 'IFP3TXY'The Ecoflow River 2 is a powerhouse designed for off-grid use, perfect for in-home backup or your outdoor and camping adventures. It comes equipped with two AC outlets that can handle 300W each (with a 600W surge capacity), two USB Type-A ports, and one USB Type-C port. Recharging is quick and versatile, taking just about an hour with traditional AC power, or you can harness solar energy with up to 110W input.

While the 256Whr battery may not replace a full-sized generator, it's more than capable of powering your mobile electronics, including laptops, for several hours to days. The River 2 utilizes advanced LiFePO4 cells, which offer a safer chemistry and a significantly longer cycle lifespan compared to the NCM cells found in the original River model. These cells also age less over time, although they do come with a slight trade-off in energy density, making the unit a bit heavier. Despite this, the River 2 remains lightweight at only 7 pounds, a commendable feat for its capacity.

Although not designed as a UPS, the River 2 includes an EPS function that seamlessly switches to battery power during an outage with a minimal 30ms delay, sufficient to keep even sensitive electronics like PCs running. You'll need to manually switch back to AC power once it's restored, but in emergency situations, the River 2 can serve as an effective temporary solution.

The River 2 also boasts smart functionality with wireless connectivity. Through a mobile app, you can monitor the power station's status, download updates, and remotely control the outlets. Ecoflow's commitment to product support ensures regular firmware and software updates to enhance your experience.
