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 for small in-home portable backups or as a power source during your outdoor or camping adventures. It features two AC outlets with 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 256Whr battery won't replace a generator, it's more than capable of powering your mobile electronics, including laptops, for several hours to days. The River 2 uses advanced LiFePO4 cells, which are safer and have a longer cycle lifespan compared to the traditional NCM cells found in the original River model. LiFePO4 cells also exhibit lower calendar aging, though they do come with the trade-off of lower energy density, resulting in a slightly heavier weight. Despite this, the River 2 remains impressively light at just 7 pounds.

Although not designed as a UPS for your electronics, the River 2 includes an EPS function that automatically switches to battery power during a power outage, with a shutoff delay of less than 30ms, ensuring even sensitive devices 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 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 excellent product support and regularly releases new firmware and software updates.
