The Ecoflow River 2 is a versatile 256Wh portable power station ideal for off-grid use—whether you're looking for a compact backup power source at home or need reliable energy during outdoor excursions and camping trips. It features two AC outlets delivering up to 300W each (with a 600W surge capacity), two USB Type-A ports, and one USB Type-C port for flexible device charging options. Recharging is fast and convenient: using standard AC power, it reaches full charge in just about an hour. Alternatively, you can recharge via solar panels with a maximum 110W input support.

While the 256Wh capacity isn't enough to replace a generator, it's more than capable of powering your mobile electronics—including laptops—for several hours to even days depending on usage. Unlike the original River series that uses traditional NCM battery cells, the River 2 utilizes advanced LiFePO4 batteries known for their superior safety profile, longer cycle life, and reduced calendar aging. The only trade-off is slightly lower energy density, which translates to a marginally heavier build. Still, the River 2 remains impressively lightweight at just 7 pounds—remarkable for its capacity class.

Although not designed as a dedicated UPS, the River 2 includes an EPS (Emergency Power Supply) function that automatically switches to battery power within less than 30ms of detecting an outage—plenty fast enough to keep sensitive devices like PCs running uninterrupted. You’ll need to manually switch back to AC power once utility power is restored, but it's a handy fallback option in emergencies.

Smart connectivity is another standout feature of the River 2. With built-in wireless capabilities, you can link your smartphone to the unit via the Ecoflow app. This allows you to monitor real-time performance, install firmware updates, and even toggle individual outlets remotely. Ecoflow is known for strong post-purchase support, regularly rolling out software improvements that enhance functionality over time.
