As a general rule, with portable power stations, the larger and heavier the unit, the more electricity it can store and output — balance portability concerns against capacity. The smaller power stations won’t cut it if you need to power a high-energy appliance like an air conditioner or a large fridge. If the ambient temperature increases beyond this range during storage, the battery discharge rate will also increase. Is RIVER 2 a True Sine Wave Output Device?

The RIVER 2 takes about three hours to charge fully using your car’s cigarette lighter. Its maximum DC input is 12/24, 8A, or 100W Max, and the PPS battery storage capacity is 256Wh. The EcoFlow DELTA Pro is the largest, most powerful portable power station in the EcoFlow line. It begins at 3600Wh of electricity storage capacity, expandable to as much as 25kWh. One DELTA Pro delivers 3600W of power output and 7200W of surge power with X-Boost. You can chain 2 DELTA Pros together using a Double Voltage Hub and double your power output capacity to 7200W/240V. Yes, it can power multiple devices simultaneously as long as the maximum wattage of the devices added together does not exceed the RIVER 2’s operating AC output of 300W. Many appliances list their power requirements in volts or amps. You can easily calculate the watts by multiplying the volts and amps together: My intension with the review was to fully charge the battery on the River 2 Max and drain it several times. So I started out using it for charging phones and a multitude of accessories around the house, and I immediately realized that wasn’t going to cut it. The River 2 Max has a 512Wh battery, and it would easily charge the likes of the Galaxy S23 Ultra for a few weeks before the battery ran out.

You can also switch to using the DELTA Pro instead of grid power at peak energy times to save on your electric bill with clean energy. You can save significantly on your electricity bill over time when you charge with solar panels. The DELTA Pro supports 1600W solar charging input to connect four of EcoFlow’s rigid or portable 400W solar panels. With six outlets and 1800W of electricity output, you can use it to power 90% of appliances. X-Boost gives you up to 2700W of surge power to get major appliances up and running. RIVER 2 has an operating AC output of 300W (running watts) and a surge power AC output of 600W (starting watts) using X-Boost. It’s the perfect PPS for portability and charging your essential personal devices. But if you want to operate even relatively low-wattage camping appliances on extended trips (more than a day or two), RIVER 2 Pro or DELTA 2 is likely a better option. I used the River 2 Max for just over three months now, and other than the minor quibble around the solitary USB-C port, I have no issues with the power station. It performed incredibly well in daily use, powering most products I have in the house without any issues whatsoever. The ability to charge the unit via solar power makes it that much more versatile, and if you choose to use the AC option, there's fast charging that takes under an hour to fully charge the battery.Breaking down your requirements will help you choose which portable power station is right for you. Your Purpose If any of your devices have a higher starting wattage, you’ll also need to factor that in. RIVER 2 provides up to 600W starting watts (surge power) using X-Boost mode.
