Top features
The EcoFlow River 2 is a compact 256Wh LiFePO4 portable power station with a 600W pure-sine AC inverter (1200W surge) and a bundled 60W solar panel. It features 2x AC outlets, 2x USB-A ports, 1x USB-C PD (65W), and a 12V/10A car output. The station recharges from a wall outlet in 1 hour (fastest in class), accepts 200W solar input, and uses long-life LiFePO4 cells rated for 3000+ cycles to 80% capacity. It weighs just 3.5 kg (~7.7 lbs), making it highly portable for camping, vans, RVs, and light home backup. The included solar panel, app control, and UPS passthrough are standout conveniences. Best suited for weekend camping, travel, and small off-grid setups rather than extended home backup. Drawbacks include modest 256Wh capacity (limited to smaller loads or shorter runtimes) and a smaller solar panel that takes time for a full recharge in the field.
