However, if you’re powering something like a lightbulb at 60 running watts, you could get over 4 hours of power. The rated power of the 110W portable solar panel is perfectly matched to the solar input capacity of the RIVER 2. But, due to the factors outlined above, you won’t achieve 110W of electricity generation consistently. However, you also won’t pay for electricity generation capacity that doesn’t get used. If you need a compact option that can power 80% of home appliances but still weighs under 20 pounds, at 17.2 lbs (8 kg), RIVER 2 Pro offers 768 Wh battery storage — perfect for off-grid weekends away with the family.

Sure, you can now get portable projectors with built-in batteries that last up to two hours — like the Halo+— but if you’re looking to use a full-fledged projector while outdoors, you’ll need a beefy power station.If you’re looking for something more powerful than a power bank to charge your personal devices off-grid but don’t want to skimp on portability, RIVER 2 is a great option. Capacity: 256Wh

You’ll often hear portable power stations called solar, battery, or even portable generators. Ultimately, they’re all battery-powered devices. For example, if you want to power a 50W laptop and a 200W 20” (50.8 cm) box fan, you’d get a total wattage of 250W. Divide the 256Wh capacity by 250W of power needed, and you could run these appliances for roughly one hour. You don’t want to wait half a day to charge up when you’re on the go. All EcoFlow portable power stations feature X-Stream — offering lightning-fast charging and intelligent battery management. RIVER 2 has an operating AC output of 300W (running watts) and a surge power AC output of 600W (starting watts) using X-Boost. Here are the essential factors to consider when purchasing an EcoFlow off-grid power solution that’s right for you. PortabilityIf any of your devices have a higher starting wattage, you’ll also need to factor that in. RIVER 2 provides up to 600W starting watts (surge power) using X-Boost mode. Can You Run RIVER 2 and Charge It at the Same Time? EcoFlow RIVER 2 series portable power stations offer the best compact power solution for off-grid adventures. The best portable power station is one that’s lightweight and compact enough to meet your off-grid electricity needs. Let’s face it – lugging around a massive battery is no one’s idea of fun. Whether you’re going on off-grid road trips, overlanding, or camping, RIVER 2 Pro gives you 768 Wh capacity, 800W AC output (1600W with X-Boost), and 220W solar charging input to take on the great outdoors in style. LiFePO4 offers many advantages over Li-Ion, including longer lifespans, faster recharge times, and increased performance in extreme temperatures.

In ideal storage conditions, a RIVER 2 will only lose 2% of its power each month after it’s fully powered and unplugged. You could even use a 220W bifacial portable solar panel to help ensure you regularly achieve the maximum solar input capacity of the RIVER 2 PPS. You can recharge while you operate using any of RIVER 2’s four charging methods — including solar panels. Can I Connect Two RIVER 2s Together in Parallel? RIVER 2 uses LiFePO4 batteries, a newer subset of lithium-ion batteries. Compared to other lithium-ion batteries, batteries with LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) chemistry require no maintenance, are safer, and have a longer lifespan. The 512Wh battery is ideally suited for camping activities, and there's enough power on offer to charge phones, notebooks, and other tech accessories in addition to projectors. The fact that the batteries are based on LiFePO4 tech means they should be much more durable than standard Lithium-ion batteries, and the long-term warranty alleviates any worries in this area.If you need more power, consider upgrading to other RIVER 2 series devices, such as the RIVER 2 Pro or RIVER 2 Max — each of which offers greater AC output. RIVER 2 Pro offers 800W running watts and up to 1600W starting watts (surge power) using X-Boost. Additionally, you can expand a PPS like the DELTA Pro to provide up to 25kWh of electricity storage — enough to run many households for a full day. Since 60W is the maximum USB-C input, and the actual charge may be lower, you can round up to account for the potential extra time to charge fully.
