Originally priced at $239.00, you can save 48% and get it for $124.87 at AliExpress by using the code 'IFP3TXY'. The Ecoflow River 2 is a versatile 256Wh power station perfect for off-grid use, whether as an in-home portable backup or for outdoor adventures like camping. 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 with solar panels, which support a maximum input of 110W.

While the 256Wh battery may not replace a full 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 have a higher cycle lifespan compared to the NCM cells found in the original River model. Although LiFePO4 cells have a lower energy density and result in a slightly heavier unit, the River 2 remains lightweight at only 7 pounds.

Although not designed as a UPS for your electronics, the River 2 does include an EPS function that automatically switches to battery power during outages with a delay of less than 30ms, suitable for sensitive electronics like PCs. Note that you will need to manually switch back to AC power once it returns. While a dedicated UPS with a replaceable battery is ideal, the River 2 can serve as an effective backup solution in emergencies.

The River 2 also offers smart functionality with wireless connectivity. By connecting your phone to the power station through a mobile app, you can monitor its status, download updates, and remotely control the power outlets. Ecoflow is known for its reliable product support and regular firmware and software updates.
