EcoFlow RIVER 2 MAX Portable Power Station, 500W Output, 512Wh LiFePO4 Battery Solar Generator, 1 Hour Fast Charging, 11 Output Ports, ...View More

Received the charging station within a few days, plugged it into the wall outlet, and had a full charge in less than an hour. This is very helpful for emergencies. When I received the Ecoflow it was 30% charged. I took it camping yesterday. I plugged in the 12-volt electric blanket and took a nap. I was going to see how long the battery lasted but unplugged it after an hour's nap because it still showed 8 hours left. Yes, it is unplugged from the wall outlet. I like its display, easy to read and understand. I think the charging capacity of this power station is perfect for the things I need like electric blankets, USB fans, computers, and phones. I like the handle on the back, it is also easy to carry.

Originally I bought the RIVER 2 Max for camping, but lately, it's been too cold to go outside. I tried using it as a UPS and it worked fine. My desktop usually draws 800+W during heavy gaming, and I have no problem running light tasks like browsing on it, consuming 300-500W. The AC to battery switch works fine on my computer without any issues. If you plan to use the RIVER 2 Max as a UPS, I would recommend not running a PC with more than 500W continuous load. It is no problem to use other high-power devices such as hair dryers. RIVER 2 Max is better than my previous power station, it has a 512Wh lithium iron phosphate battery. It's a portable power station and I would recommend it.

Great product. I use it to charge speakers and sound equipment at events and it does the job.
