Portable Power Station RIVER 2 Pro, 768Wh LiFePO4 Battery

GREAT PORTABLE POWER STATION. CHARGES REALLY FAST😊👍

Slight delay on delivery but not a problem. Product was well packed and protected. Easy to follow guide. Functions well. I'm going to use this as a portable PSU and a UPS fir my IT equipment. It does have a slight delay swapping from mains to battery however tried it with my DS Synology NAS drive and continued to work fine. Also I like that the unit can be locked using the handle, if necessary. Very quick to charge up from the mains. The only negative is the cooling fan is slightly noisy when it is on, I would say a little bit noisier than a laptop fan. The app. is great and customer service was excellent (asked about using the unit in small spaces as concerned about any gases given off during charing/discharging but was assured it was 100% safe). Overhaul, extremely pleased with this power station.

So let me start by saying I already had a River 2 and EcoFlow solar panels and I have to say, they are amazing. They did exactly what they were meant to and worked flawlessly. I was so impressed I was recommending to friends and family. I decided to purchase the River 2 Pro due to having 2 solar panels that produce 200w and the River 2 can only handle 110w solar input. Also having the larger battery capacity just made sense. So the River 2 Pro arrived and within 24 hours I noticed that there were some issues with it. It seemed to lose a lot more power in standby over night than it’s little brother did, but I put this down to the unit being new and the battery management would work this out after a few cycles. The other thing I noticed was the cooling fan would turn on at high speed occasionally after turning off the AC inverter, and would stay on until I switched the AC inverter on and off again. I thought that’s a bit disappointing but thought it’s something that will surely be fixed with a firmware update. Well after a couple of weeks there was a firmware update and I excitedly updated the unit. The new features that were added would make the unit so much more useful it would be amazing. Unfortunately the firmware made the unit unusable. The new features included a new way of setting charging and discharging limits, these just don’t work. The River 2 Pro sails past both limits, it charges to 100% even though the limit is set to 85%, and fully discharges to 0 even though it should shutdown the AC inverter at 20%. But the biggest problem is if the unit fully shuts down it resets the unit timeout setting and sets it to 30 mins. But allowing the unit to timeout has an even bigger issue, even if the battery is full at 100% the battery shows empty. It will not allow you to try and charge or power any devices and if connected to the solar panels attempts to trickle charge the battery until the power input reaches at least 120w either via solar or AC mains, then all of a sudden there is a audible click and the unit shows it’s correct charge level. So I have emailed EcoFlow about these problems, I laid out exactly what the problems are. The response from EcoFlow is very disappointing. It takes days to get a response and even then it’s very vague. They asked for all my details which I gave them and since then I have received nothing. To add insult to injury I received an automated email saying that as I hadn’t emailed them in 4 days they would view my case as closed. This is because I am still waiting for a response from them. I have watched all the YouTube videos from influencers saying how amazing the EcoFlow units are and until getting the River 2 Pro I thought they were right, but my experience has soured my thoughts on EcoFlow. I am disappointed in the unit, yes, but the worst part is the lack of after sales support. The River 2 Pro is not ready/fit for purpose. UPDATE So the original review only had 1 star as I was so disappointed with the issues I was having and the after sales service. But I think it is only fair to give an update on how things are now. EcoFlow support did role my firmware back, but this seemed to cause more problems than it fixed. I then requested they try again with the latest firmware and I noticed that this time the firmware took a lot longer to install and the River 2 Pro seemed a lot more stable. Things seemed to go well after that and about a week later there was another firmware update and although it said it was only for a Bluetooth issue, things are even more stable. It’s been over 2 and a half weeks now and the River 2 Pro is working exactly as it should. I am very pleased with the new features the latest firmware has brought. These include programmable timers that enable me to set times when the River 2 Pro will allow charging from mains or solar and the ability to turn on the AC Inverter for set times. I use this unit in a garage without mains power and I have connected some lights to the River 2 Pro and using the timer to turn on the AC inverter for a few hours in the evening when I may want to go to the garage just makes it very easy. So to sum up, I am now very happy with the River 2 Pro. I feel the build quality is great and it now does exactly what I bought it to do, with some very useful features added in. My only regret is the amount of time it took to get it all fixed. The customer support did help and were very polite. I just wish it didn’t take up to a week to get a response. So I am changing this to 4 stars as the River 2 Pro is doing everything I could ask for and with the new updates so much more, but although the problems were solved taking a week for a reply is just not good enough.

Having been studying the features and spec's of this machine and its rivals and watching endless reviews on YouTube, I took the plunge and bought the EcoFlow. The plan was simple... I know I'm going to be wanting a much bigger unit in a few months, so get a smaller one so i can get used to using it and test it out on small scale and obviously cheaper first, IF you can call these things cheap. So order was placed, dispatch from EcoFlow seemed to happen quite quickly (according to tracking anyway). After a few days it eventually arrived, I have to admit that with the attached price tag I would have expected it to arrive a bit quicker... but it did at least arrive. So I unboxed it, downloaded the App, Charged it up, Did the firmware update, Used it a bit, connected it to solar panel and ultimately it put itself to sleep... Imagine my surprise next morning when the display said it had 0% charge!!! It was actually defective and not flat at all. From here on, its where i discovered that all those Youtubers claims about the superior and super helpful and super prompt assistance to their customers were probably talking points in a script provided with the product to review. At this point I must state in fairness to EcoFlow They did Ultimately replace the unit... Its just the process of getting to that point was painfully slow and felt like I was basically dealing with total amateurs and that's what so tragic about this whole scenario because the units are pretty good at the job you buy them to do. They have a good range of USB's and a pretty decent inverter. I would like to see something better than a car style 10amp outlet... Maybe an Anderson Powerpole connection rated to 25amps would be amazing. But sadly EcoFlow doesn't get that if camping a decent DC outlet is more Useful than high wattage AC Bottom Line, Would i buy another? NO, EcoFlow is charging premium prices for basically an average product with average to poor customer support. I will still need a large unit but will definitely be looking around at different names and offerings again

Ideal for camping or in the garden. Good battery life and plenty of sockets. Used primarily for PC, and phones, also for 12v pumps and BBQ rotisserie attachments.

Works, lasts ages. Would be given 5 stars. Worth the money. Whoever, the battery percentage doesn’t add up to the remaining hours. Common fault apparently, still works fine and shows how many hours are left but the percentage is wrong.

Wanted one for a while. Use it for my astrophotography rig. At this time it powers dew heaters, cooled camera, mount, mini pc, laptop over two to three nightly sessions before needing recharge. Average is around 4 to 5 hours each session. I can’t say how it would do if I was boiling a kettle.

An excellent portable solar generator from one of the best manufacturers.

Super batterie j'ai envie acheté une plus grosse

I am completely satisfied with the product. Before purchasing, I had two main concerns - the noise level during operation and how well it would meet my needs. Noise Level: The noise level turned out to be lower than I expected, which is great. It’s quieter than what you might hear in YouTube reviews. However, it’s not exactly silent. It’s comparable to an old refrigerator when it kicks on for cooling, but thankfully, it’s not like a vacuum cleaner. Working at my computer while this device is running is comfortable and not distracting. If needed, you can also place it in another room and connect it via an extension cord. Performance: My computer with a 650W power supply and a 27-inch monitor lasts for about 4 hours - this includes office work, file management, and watching movies. It consumes around 85-120 watts. My large-screen TV also runs for approximately 3-4 hours. It handles all my tasks perfectly. However, it’s not suitable for PC gaming. I have a 3080 Ti graphics card, and during gaming sessions, for example in CS2, power consumption is around 180-230 watts. This means it would only last for about one full game. With more energy-efficient graphics cards, or if your GPU is integrated into the processor, you can play smaller games for longer. Fast Charging: It charges very quickly. From 0 to 100%, it takes only 70 minutes (similar products take about 3 hours). I highly recommend this product.

Szrot po 1.5 roku padły akumulatory. Ładowałem tylko kilka razy. Potrafi sam się rozładować, wtedy traci ustawienia.

increible aparato.

ECOFLOW RIVER 2 PRO è una centrale elettrice con sistema di accumulo davvero ben fatta e semplicemente fantastica. Il cuore di questo dispositivo è la batteria litio ferro fosfato (LiFeP04), la miglior tecnologia attualmente in commercio. Il modello river 2 PRO è il TOP della serie RIVER con una capacità totale della battere pari a 768Wh. Il concetto alla base di questa stazione energetica possiamo racchiuderlo in una sola parola: VERSATILITA’. Ecco perché in alcuni punti semplici. Il peso complessivo è poco inferiore agli 8Kg, il che lo rende perfetto per essere trasportato e portato con sé in viaggio o anche da tenere in auto come sistema di emergenza. Versatilità anche legata alle modalità di ricarica. Ne possiamo contare almeno 3: Ricarica tramite CA, quindi la classica presa domestica. Questo tipo di ricarica può arrivare fino a 940W permettendo di ricaricare da 0 a 100 in poco più di un’ora. Ricarica tramite accendisigari in automobile con il cavo in dotazione. Ricarica tramite USB-C da 100W. Ricarica tramite i pannelli solari con un max di 220W che permette di ricaricare la stazione in meno di 5 ore. Chiaramente in esterna, d’estate, la coppia stazione più pannello solare consente di essere praticamente autonomi al 100% (NB i pannelli solari sono da comprare a parte) Ottima poi la console frontale. Sul piccolo monitor sono presenti tutte le informazioni basilari di cui si ha bisogno. Ovvero: - Tempo di scarica (basato sul consumo attuale) - Percentuale di carica - Input (in W) - Output complessimo (in W) La versatilità continua anche nelle modalità di utilizzo. Infatti presenta 3 prese in CA con erogazione standard massima da 800W ma che può essere portata fino a 1600W tramite la funzionalità x-boost. Permette quindi di alimentare ogni tipo di apparecchiatura domestica. Dalla macchina del caffè, al frigo, alla TV o console e all’impianto di luci. L’onda sinusoidale prodotta è pura (non quadra) e quindi simula a tutti gli effetti la rete domestica senza causare danni ai nostri apparati. Ha 3 Porte USB di tipo A e una USB di tipo C che fa sia da output che da input. Ed infine ha una porta accendisigari con uscita a 10A più due uscite standard che erogano fino a 3A. Con questo tipo di porta sicuramente è possibile alimentare un comodo minifrigo da portare in giro. La versatilità è anche nella configurabilità del sistema. Infatti è presente l’applicazione ECOFLOW che permette di accedere all’apparato sia in locale tramite bluetooth ma soprattutto in WIFI per poterlo monitorare e controllare anche da remoto. Infatti permette di monitorare lo stato di carica e scarica della centrale, l’output su tutte le porte, di accendere o spegnere le varie porte (specifico non tutte le prese singolarmente ma le modalità di alimentazione, esempio posso disattivare la porta a CA oppure la porta accendisigari). Inoltre l’app permette di accedere a tutta una serie di impostazioni per gestire al meglio il proprio apparato. Infine, il RIVER 2 PRO può essere usato come UPS su rete domestica, quindi come sistema di emergenza domestico in caso di mancanza di corrente. Come potete vedere dal video allegato, la commutazione è istantanea, non vi sono sfarfallii o interruzioni. Sto pensando di prenderne un secondo proprio per questo scopo, collegandovi la linea domestica delle luci (addio lampade di emergenza), il router (così quando va via la corrente non potrò continuare ad essere in rete) e la linea di sicurezza (DVR, allarme e telecamere) così, se qualche mal intenzionato dovesse disattivare il collegamento elettrico, gli apparati di sicurezza continueranno a funzionare. In conclusione, l'ECOFLOW River 2 Pro è davvero eccezionale. Un prodotto robusto ma leggero e versatile. Un must have per chi cerca l'avventura senza rinunciare ai confort della propria abitazione ma anche un sistema di sicurezza domestico. Consigliato!!!
