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

While the 256Wh battery might 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 are safer and boast a higher cycle lifespan compared to the NCM cells found in the original River model. LiFePO4 cells also exhibit lower calendar aging, though they have a lower energy density, resulting in a slightly heavier unit. Despite this, the River 2 is remarkably lightweight at just 7 pounds.

Although not intended as a UPS for your electronics, the River 2 does include an EPS function that automatically switches to battery power during a power outage with a shutoff delay of less than 30ms, suitable for sensitive devices like PCs. You'll need to manually switch back to AC power once it's restored. While a dedicated UPS with a replaceable battery might be preferable, the River 2 serves well in emergencies.

The River 2 also offers smart functionality with wireless connectivity. By connecting your phone to the power station via the mobile app, you can monitor its status, download updates, and remotely control the power outlets. Ecoflow is known for its excellent product support and regularly releases new firmware and software updates to enhance user experience.
