Originally priced at $239.00, you can now save 48% and get it for $124.87 at AliExpress with the code 'IFP3TXY'. The Ecoflow River 2 is a versatile 256Wh power station perfect for off-grid use, whether you need a portable backup at home or a reliable power source during your outdoor adventures. It features two AC outlets with 300W each (600W surge), two USB Type-A ports, and one USB Type-C port. Recharging is quick, taking about an hour with traditional AC power, or you can use solar panels with a maximum input of 110W.

While the 256Wh battery may not replace a full 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 have a longer cycle lifespan compared to the traditional NCM cells found in the original River model. Although LiFePO4 cells have a lower energy density, resulting in a slightly heavier unit, the River 2 still weighs a manageable 7 pounds.

Although not designed as a UPS, the River 2 includes an EPS function that automatically switches to battery power during outages with a minimal shutoff delay of less than 30ms, ensuring even sensitive electronics like PCs remain powered. However, 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 boasts 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 robust product support and regular firmware and software updates, ensuring your device stays up-to-date and performs at its best.
