Top features
The EcoFlow River 3 is a compact 245Wh LiFePO4 portable power station with 600W AC output (1200W surge), designed for camping, van life, and light home backup. It features 2 AC outlets, 2 USB-C PD ports (100W combined), 2 USB-A ports, and 12V car output. Recharges in ~1 hour from wall (245W input), supports solar input up to 200W, and weighs just 3.5 kg (7.7 lbs) — making it one of the lightest stations for its class. LiFePO4 chemistry promises 3000+ cycles to 80% capacity. UPS passthrough with <20ms switchover protects CPAP and sensitive devices. No app control, minimal fan noise. Best for ultralight camping, off-grid weekends, and emergency backup where weight matters more than raw capacity. Not suitable for extended RV or home use — capacity maxes out after a few hours of AC load.
