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 the perfect 256WH power station for those venturing off the grid, whether you're setting up a small in-home portable backup or powering your outdoor and camping adventures. It boasts two AC outlets, each capable of 300W output with a 600W surge capacity, along with two USB Type-A ports and one USB Type-C port. Recharging is a breeze; you can fully charge it in about an hour via traditional AC power or opt for eco-friendly solar panel charging with a max input of 110W.

While the 256Whr battery won't replace a full-sized generator, it's more than capable of keeping your mobile electronics, including your laptop, powered for several hours to days. The River 2 utilizes advanced LiFePO4 cells, which are safer and have a longer cycle lifespan compared to the NCM cells found in the original River model. LiFePO4 cells also age better over time, though they come with the trade-off of lower energy density, resulting in a slightly heavier unit. Despite this, the River 2 tips the scales at a very manageable 7 pounds.

The River 2 isn't designed as a UPS for your electronics, but it does feature an EPS function that automatically switches to battery power during outages with a swift shutoff delay of less than 30ms, ensuring even sensitive electronics like PCs stay powered. You'll need to manually switch back to AC power once it returns. While a dedicated UPS with a replaceable battery might be more suitable for continuous use, the River 2 serves as a great backup solution.

Smart functionality is another highlight of the River 2, offering wireless connectivity. By connecting your phone via the Ecoflow mobile app, you can monitor the power station's status, download updates, and remotely control the power outlets. Ecoflow is known for its robust product support and regularly releases new firmware and software updates, enhancing the user experience.
