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, boasting a 256Wh capacity, is perfect for off-grid applications, serving as a portable backup for your home or a reliable power source during your outdoor adventures. It features two AC outlets each delivering 300W (with a 600W surge capacity), two USB Type-A ports, and one USB Type-C port. You can recharge it in about an hour using a traditional AC outlet or opt for solar panels with a max input of 110W.

While the 256Wh battery may not substitute for a full generator, it's more than capable of powering your mobile electronics, including laptops, for several hours or even days. The River 2 is equipped with the advanced LiFePO4 cells, which are safer than the NCM cells found in the original River model. These cells offer a significantly higher cycle lifespan and lower calendar aging, though they come with the trade-off of lower energy density, making the unit slightly heavier. Still, at just 7 pounds, the River 2 is impressively lightweight for its capacity.

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 a power outage, with a shutoff delay of less than 30ms. This is quick enough to keep even sensitive devices like PCs running smoothly. However, you'll need to manually switch back to AC power once it returns. While a dedicated UPS with a replaceable battery might be preferable, the River 2 serves well in emergencies.

Moreover, the River 2 includes smart features with wireless connectivity. By connecting your phone to the power station via the Ecoflow mobile app, you can monitor its status, download updates, and remotely control the power outlets. Ecoflow is known for its robust product support and regular updates, ensuring your device stays current and performs optimally.
