Q: How many times can the EcoFlow River 2 be charged and discharged?

A: The EcoFlow River 2 can be charged and emptied over 3000 times, which is equivalent to about 10 years of daily use.

Q: Does the EcoFlow River 2 have any safety certifications?

A: Yes, the EcoFlow River 2 is UL Listed, ensuring its safety and compliance with industry standards.

Q: How long does it take to fully charge the EcoFlow River 2 using AC power?

A: The EcoFlow River 2 can be fully charged in just 1 hour using an AC outlet.

Q: What is the maximum wattage that the EcoFlow River 2 power station can handle?

A: The EcoFlow River 2 power station has a rated wattage continuous of 300 watts, but with X-Boost mode, it can handle up to 600 watts.

Q: How long does the battery last on a full charge?

A: The maximum battery life at full charge is 1500 hours.

Q: Can I monitor the charging levels of the power station?

A: Yes, you can monitor charging levels, customize settings, and adjust charging speeds remotely using the EcoFlow app on your phone.

Q: Can I connect multiple river 2 together to increase the length in time? Also can I connect ALLPOWERS SP037 400W Portable Solar Panel Waterproof IP67 Foldable Solar Panel Kit with 37.5V MC-4 Output Solar Charger to charge this?

A: Hi Hec, Yes, you can connect 2 of the same units in series at most. Furthermore, please also note: 1. The slave unit must be fully charged before being connected. 2. Must not charge the main unit when the slave is connected. For a better experience and efficiency, it is highly recommended to use EcoFlow solar panels. If you want to choose solar panels from other brands, please make sure: 1. The specification of the solar panel meets the requirement of the device, for example, 8A Max,11-30V 110W for the RIVER 2; 2. The connector of the solar panel is MC4 type (so that it can be connected to the EcoFlow solar charging cable) or XT60 female type (so that it can be connected to the power station's input port directly). If its connector is of another type, you need to purchase an MC4 adapter or an XT60 adapter. 3. No controller comes with the solar panel. There is an MPPT board that controls solar charge inside the power station already. A separate controller would affect the solar charge. Note: EcoFlow does not provide free service for any damage to the product caused by improper operation of the third-party solar panels.

Q: Can this slow charge a Tesla

A: No, It's 200 WH. At best that's one mile of range on a Tesla.

    Power all my essentials!

    Second time purchasing from ecoflow and the river 2 is amazing! Charges very quickly and the fan noise can be ignored. Also lighter than the power station i own before functions even better, powers all my essential devices for five hours straight.

    Better than Jackery…

    Great little backup power source. Light enough to carry with you and enough juice to charge phones, tablets, run small fridge for a few hours, etc. Even better, it fully charges it just over an hour and the LiFePO batteries should easily last more than 10 years with regular use. Liked it so much I bought a 2nd, highly recommend.

    Portable, very usable, fast charging, great backup

    Portable 258Wh capactiy 300watts power output, 600watts if using xboost feature very fast charging speed , 100% in an hour comes with a power cord, no separate charging brick needed bluetooth and wifi connectivity with a smartphone can be used as UPS with its AC pass through feature got it for a discounted price during a sale bundle it doesnt seem to detect devices that uses less than 2 watts of power which is annoying because i cant charge my smartwatch directly from its USB port or AC port. i still have to plug in other stuff to make it not go to sleep, but its a minor gripe not waterproof or shock proof

    Glad I bought this

    Worked flawlessly for a camping weekend. Blew up my air mattress a few times, charged a couple phones, only dropped to 87%. It really does charge in an hour or less which was great too.
