THANK YOU! I was searching, searching how to connect my EcoFlow with solar panel and YOU are the one that helped me with reference to the XT60 connector!
and how has it been treating you? i work from home and I have a daughter who gets off school and wants to watch cartoons on my old monitor. I myself work on my TV as a monitor (work from home office is my lounge).. I don't earn a lot and this will be my entire months salary just to afford this. I have watched so many videos
Like your dedicated review on RIVER 2!!! 3000+ charge cycle, superfast charging speed... No worries for knowing RIVER 2 anymore! Keep up great videos👍
The best thing to note is that it has a 3000 charge cycle before the capacity drops to 80%. That is a lot of charge cycles.
Seems like Ecoflow really did improve on the River especially the design and weight of it.
The switch to LFP batteries was a good move. Now it is lighter and lasts longer than other power stations.
Thanks for a detail review. I have watched the other tested for a Kettle/Bolier which could boil water for making a coffee or chocolate without problem.😁
Eb3a vs the river . We want to see it!
5 year warranty has me leaning towards the river 2.
Would really like to see you do a review on the River 2 Max
Found this very helpful as ordered a river 2 for my teardrop camper 😊
Great review, thank you!
Just a bummer (even if it's a little one for a few folks) : the River Series seems to have ditched the option to add an additionnal battery pack on their units... :/
Great info. Thank you!
I wonder if you've used it to charge power tool batteries.
The XT60 cable comes with the panels now. Sadly you haven't got yours.
Would you recommend this power station for a new comer to power stations?
Thanks for the detailed review of the River 2. I do like the fact that it only needs 60 minutes to full charge.
Thank you for the detailed explanations. I dare a question: in the application there is the possibility to set the discharge values of the accumulators, in percentages. For this kind of batteries (LiFePo4) is there a recommended minimum discharge/charge limit or can we go with the minimum/maximum limits (0-100%)?
How does it stack up against the Bluetti EB3A or the Allpowers R600?
Wow an android user. Nice to see that some in North America use android, most North Americans I see in youtube uses iPhone.
Sorry for the off topic comment.
Ha! I actually have an iPhone my 'day job'...hate it. LOL. Much prefer my Android phone.
@@ReeWrayOutdoors thats great!!
Since it only weighs 3.5 kilos. I could easily carry it with me everywhere I go.
Thanks for the review. I do like EcoFlow products, but don't care much for this case design. The unit is light enough for camping and hiking, but having the handle in the back and display on the front is just asking for trouble. Carrying it with the display facing down to the ground just begs someone to set it down on the front panel. And, setting it down on the front panel just messed up the display. Suggest putting a handle on one of the sides, so the unit weight is more balanced (even if it only weighs about 7 pounds). With a handle on the side, the display would face forward, or backward, but not downward. Also, try to keep the unit square for easy compact storage in a vehicle or camper. Thanks again for the review.
Regarding the handle design, it does also serve the purpose of ensuring that even if you tuck it back in a tight space, the ventilation fans can't be blocked by accident. I'm making an assumption that this was purposeful design...but who knows for sure.
@@ReeWrayOutdoors I can agree with your ventilation comment, but the protrusion doesn't have to serve as a handle. I would also expect the system to have some type of high temp shutdown. But, that's an assumption also. Functionality is one thing, ergonomically another.
@@farside87 yeah it does have high temp cut-off protection, but I will admit the handle is not the most attractive design choice.
Oh hi, is posible to combine charges? Por example solar charge while usb charge
Can you use it to heat up a hot plate?
Make sure you check out the new ecoflow River 2 series official group
I watched a guy wiring a capacitor on his A.C extension cord, when he hooked it up to his Eco flower river 2 and reduce the draw from 260 W down the 20 W of draw on the equipment he was running.Is this something that's safe to do in the long run with your machine
Thank you for the review. How long can your PC work via River 2?
Ups @ 30ms…. I believe Bluetti was 20ms and Allpowers R600 10ms I could be wrong.
Did it fry your coffee maker?
Just discovered your channel. Subscribed. Would love to see a comparison between the River 2 and the Bluetti EB3A. I am really torn on which to buy.
Yeah that would be an excellent match-up! I just need to find the time! And I agree - that's a tough choice as both are excellent options in that small capacity class. I'd probably lean towards the EB3A for the simple fact that it has just a bit more capacity than the River 2...and it has wireless charging for your phone.
Will it run a CPAP?
Will definitely run one. For how long, will depend on your specific CPAP machine. I have a ResMed AirSense 11...running through the AC adapter with humidifier function enabled, it draws an average 28W per hour. So, 8 hours x 28W = 224Wh, which is about 10% over the ~200Wh of usable capacity on this unit. So I'd probably only get about 7 hours of runtime with my CPAP on this small power station.
Can you make a DC cable to charge from DC ( alternator ) or is the cigarette lighter adapter faster ...
I’m a jackery person, who just bought the river 2. Still deciding whether I like river 2.
Where did you get the cable to connect the ecoflow river 2 to the 110 watt solar panel
Would it be possible to use it to start a car if for some reason the starter battery has been flattened ?
You could use it to provide a slow charge to the car battery if the car battery will take a charge. But you cannot jump start a car with this power station.
@@ReeWrayOutdoors tq
How many hours river 2 will be full with this panel?
How long would this run led shop lights? 120 watts in total. is it watt hours divided by watts?
Yeah if you take the usable Wh via AC that I cited in the video and divide that number by 120w, that should give you a fairly accurate estimate of runtime.
I just ordered two of these and would like to parallel them. Do you know what I need to do this?
Hi could someone let me know for sure if I can continue using solar from this when the battery is full like a passthrough?
Is pass through charging supported
Hey! I just got the ecoflow river 2 and the 110w solar panel. What did you say was the name of that cable I need to connect the two? I can’t figure it out!
Hi Emily! You need an MC4 to XT60 adapter cable (assuming you got the EcoFlow 110W panel, which has MC4 on it). You can go the inexpensive route with something like this: amzn.to/3VEpfcK Or you can pay a little more to get the EcoFlow version of that cable (which is a better quality cable, to be sure....but does cost more): amzn.to/3nyjdxM
Can you plug in an extension cord to the AC outlets?
Sure. It should work just like it does from a wall outlet.
Why does that white light keep flashing? After everything is off it still flashes.
I think that means the unit is in standby mode. If you long press that button, it'll turn the unit all the way off.
probably the most annoying thing they don't include that xt60 cable and they don't tell you!! FAIL
Is that the cable required to connect it to a solar panel? The website doesn't really tell me
Will the River 2 run a sump pump?
Doubtful. Most 1/3 hp sump pumps have a pretty hefty startup draw. I'd have to test to be sure, but I'm guessing you'd need something with 2000W continuous and 4000W peak to handle a sump pump startup. Definitely rules out the River 2.
Can I use an Ecoflow 160W solar panel with this?
You can, but I'm pretty sure the River 2 will cap the input at 110W. However, putting the EF 160W panel on it won't hurt anything since the VOC spec on that panel is well below the 30V input max on the River 2.
@@ReeWrayOutdoors Cool, thanks. I will buy a River 2 then while the Christmas sale is still on.

DC and AC out aren't efficient :/.
