Sustainable power shouldn't be a luxury, and if eco-friendly energy solutions company EcoFlow has anything to say about the matter, it won't be for much longer. Since 2017, the company's been making waves with its portable power stations, empowering hobbyists, families and working professionals with its renewable, accessible and affordable clean energy.
To date, the company has sold over two million units in more than 100 markets worldwide. Starting today, that number's likely to get a whole lot bigger. That's because today marks the official launch of the RIVER 2 Pro.
Part of the recently-released RIVER 2 series, the 768Wh RIVER 2 Pro is both lightweight and affordable without sacrificing charging speed, battery life or battery longevity. It's an ideal entry-level power station whether you plan to use it on your next camping trip, to stay online as an outdoor influencer, or simply to live more sustainably. Don't just take our word for that, though – have a peek at some of the things that make the RIVER 2 Pro unique.
Hassle-free sustainability
The RIVER 2 Pro is designed to be fully compatible with EcoFlow's Portable Solar panels and supports a maximum solar input of 220W. To ensure you get the most out of each solar panel you connect to the station, the RIVER 2 Pro also sports a built-in Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm. This algorithm actively monitors real-time current and voltage, ensuring greater than 98% conversion efficiency.
What this means is that with just a single 220W panel, you can charge the RIVER 2 Pro to full in around four and a half to nine hours.
It gets better. A RIVER 2 Pro with just a single solar panel provides roughly 1.8 kWh of power each day. That’s enough to cover your daily essentials and save you a tidy sum on your monthly electricity bill. Perhaps more importantly, it achieves this while also reducing your carbon footprint.
Based on average carbon emissions of 0.371kg/kWh and an average sunshine duration of 6 hours/day, EcoFlow estimates that its power station can help you lower your total emissions by as much as 143 kilograms per year. And it achieves all this while providing noiseless free energy with no maintenance, long-term expenses, or fumes.
Faster, smarter, better energy
Whether you're staring down an unexpected power outage or planning a spontaneous trip, you can't afford to spend half a day waiting for your power station to charge. Luckily, with the RIVER 2 Pro, you won't need to. Thanks to EcoFlow's patented X-Stream technology, the power station accepts AC inputs of up to 940W, allowing it to go from 0-100 in just 70 minutes, five times faster than other portable power stations.
Even after being turned off for an entire year, a fully-charged RIVER 2 Pro still retains most of its energy. You can even control how the battery charges and distributes power through the intuitive EcoFlow app. Connecting to the station via either WiFi or BlueTooth, the app also lets you quickly check the station's charging status while on the go.
Power meets portability
In a lot of cases, the phrase 'portable power station' can almost seem like a misnomer, with even small capacity stations weighing upwards of 30 lbs (13.6 kg). Still valuable if you need energy in a pinch, but not exactly the kind of thing you can toss in a backpack on your way out the door. The RIVER 2 Pro, on the other hand, weighs a little over 17.2 lbs (7.8 kg) and measures around ten inches on each side.
And the RIVER 2 Pro doesn't sacrifice power for portability, either. With an output of up to 800W and a total of 11 outlets, it can power up to 80% of the appliances in your home for nearly a full day. EcoFlow's X-Boost technology further allows the power station to work with devices up to 1600W without overloading.
This makes it an excellent choice for anyone seeking a combination of portability and power capacity, as few – if any – power stations strike that balance quite as well.
With you for the long haul
The average lifetime of a portable power station is around 500 cycles. This means that if you were to use it every single day, you'd need to purchase a replacement in less than two years. That doesn't exactly sound sustainable or convenient, does it?
The RIVER 2 Pro doesn't suffer from that shortcoming. It’s equipped with advanced LFP (LiFePO4) batteries, which can endure over 3000 cycles and still retain up to 80% of their total capacity. In other words that adds up to nearly a full decade of daily use.
EcoFlow also offers a five-year warranty, meaning that if your RIVER 2 Pro stops working for any reason in that timeframe, you can count on the manufacturer to provide you with a replacement.
It's worth noting here that it isn't just the batteries themselves that contribute to the RIVER 2 Pro's impressive shelf life. The portable power station also features a built-in Smart Battery Management System algorithm. This allows it to be used while charging without damaging the battery while also making the power station safe to operate even in extreme temperatures.
This BMS algorithm has helped the RIVER 2 Pro become one of the first portable power stations in the world to receive TÜV Rheinland Reliable Charger certification, which requires a product to pass a battery of rigorous safety tests.
Accessibly priced
In addition to being part of EcoFlow's most affordable portable power station series, the RIVER 2 Pro is considerably less expensive than other stations with similar specs. For context, the average portable power station under 1kWh can cost up to $1000. EcoFlow's new power station, meanwhile, costs just $649, the same price as the original RIVER Pro at launch.
Experience a new era of portable power
Energy prices are soaring. Extreme weather events are becoming progressively more frequent. People need access to affordable, flexible power sources – not just for spontaneous trips and outdoor photoshoots, but for peace of mind.
That's exactly what EcoFlow provides through the RIVER 2 Pro. But it gets better. To commemorate the power station's launch, EcoFlow is offering some huge deals.
