Ecoflow River 2 256Wh LiFePO4 Power Station $124.87
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 perfect for off-grid scenarios, whether you need a small in-home portable backup or power during outdoor adventures. It features two AC outlets with 300W each (600W surge), two USB Type-A ports, and one USB Type-C port. Recharge is swift, taking about one hour with traditional AC, or you can opt for solar panels with a max input of 110W.
While the 256Whr battery won't replace a generator, it's more than capable of powering mobile electronics, including laptops, for several hours to days. The River 2 uses advanced LiFePO4 cells, which are safer and boast a longer cycle lifespan than the NCM cells found in the original River. Although LiFePO4 cells have a lower energy density, resulting in a slightly heavier unit, the River 2 still weighs a respectable 7 pounds for its capacity.
The River 2 isn't designed as a UPS, but it does feature an EPS function that automatically switches to battery power during outages with a minimal shutoff delay of less than 30ms. This is sufficient for sensitive electronics like PCs to stay powered. However, you'll need to manually switch back to AC power once it returns. While a dedicated UPS might be more suitable, the River 2 is a solid alternative in emergencies.
Smart functionality is another highlight of the River 2, with wireless connectivity allowing you to connect to a mobile app. This app lets you monitor the power station's status, download updates, and even control outlets remotely. Ecoflow's commitment to product support is evident through their regular firmware and software updates.
