The USB interface is so the River 3 Plus can tell the PC or Server to “shutdown” gracefully, before it’s out of power…. ECOFLOW has “Power Manager” that runs on PC’s they are developing…. Most servers and NAS systems talk to UPS’s through the USB port, which emulates HID devices…. And can tell them “times up, shutdown”, so they do as gracefully, and you don’t corrupt the file systems.

one thing you missed which i think is a big deal for portability with laptop charging, you can use the battery expansion stand alone with it's 140w usb-c out, allows you to direct charge your laptop without the main unit, and without the loss of dc>ac>dc conversion plugging your laptop charger in to the AC recepticles.

Great video, love the Ecoflow power stations. Cant wait to see where all this goes the next few years when I need to upgrade.

This channel has turned into a sales marketing for products. Like to see more cool upgrades and wheeling trips

[@Reedith]

Any cool upgrade would be a product that needs to be purchased and that would be sales and marketing by your standards. These things are awesome and he's just sharing with the public what he uses every day. And I'm glad because I wanted to grab one of these two and I needed to know about it.

[@Casey250]

I try. I work full time and my fam doesn't go camping where I like to go, and I don't film the family trips camping. I try to get away for a couple nights every few months but I also spend a lot of time away for other things. YT is not my full time job. This year I found a lot of people appreciated the gear videos and product comparisons. I can make these on a weekend morning in my garage with out impacting family life too much.

What is the AC self-discharge rate when nothing is connected?

[@baaboo21]

Can you charge the River plus using the USB-C and solar at the same time?

[@Casey250]

I haven't tested it specifically but I'd assume so. USB charging is super slow, I never use it.

[@pro_internet]

Без дополнительной батареи river 3 plus может отдавать до 1200 Вт или это только с батареей?

[@dennisd7451]

Not a good idea leaving expansion batteries in your vehicle, due high and low temperature s😊😊😊😊😊

[@timdogg8635]

HOW is the light not dimmable?!?!?!

[@brandonpsmith]

What's the IP rating?

[@rmariboe]

Website says "With IP54 battery protection, water damage is minimised. Its robust fire-retardant shell survives rough conditions. Even after a 1 m fall, the RIVER 3 Series won't get damaged."

[@HeavyB123]

That’s a great size for a cpap machine for home and camping.

[@einyv]

What I use the river 2 max for. As a backup to the river 2 max in the event I had a day or 2 without sun (to recharge it) I use the Anker 300 DC. I used it with my CPAP for 7.17 hours and that unit still had 31% charge

[@Reedith]

Wow, ecoflow should just step up and make a rack mount UPS. They would definitely disrupt the market.

[@narutobroken]

Wish this had 3 usb C ports

[@Casey250]

Agreed.

[@leokolev]

Latest upgrade? 😂 With 2 old style USB-A ports... So, the next upgrade will be with 4 USB-A ports? This is not about your video, this about the way EcoFlow moving to the 2025... In 2 years will be no more USB-A electronics... and you will have this unit for the next 10 years with 2 useless USB-A ports... 😮 !!! It should be 3 USB-C ports, 30w, 60w, and 100w. 30w people can use with the USB-A adapter if they need USB-A for some reason 👍 This is the right design which one will work for you for the next 10 years! ❤️ I'm an electronic engineer and computer technician and I know what I'm talking about 👍

[@SAMMIEJONESJUNIOR]

Damn near every device you buy currently comes with a USB A so I don't know how you figure that.....also I have not been able to get 100 watts of charging out of my usb c even with the required chip

[@leokolev]

@SAMMIEJONESJUNIOR Every device with the USB-A??? 😂😂😂 Maybe from China $5 fan or 5w USB light bulb... You will not find Any USB-A in 2 years except cheap china products...

[@SAMMIEJONESJUNIOR]

@leokolev almost every you buy is cheap stuff from China with the exception of smartphones.

[@leokolev]

@SAMMIEJONESJUNIOR For the 2 last years I don't have any electrics with USB-A... ONLY USB-C 👍

[@s.i.m.c.a]

What a boomer, when most of the stuff is actually from the China or countries nearby. And usb-a would never die, same as usb-b. Each port has its own purpose, and to say at least one points - USB a is a much more sturdy connector which supports same transfer speed rates as usb-c, which is targeted more for portable devices

[@Imjustsaying1966]

Look cheap and plasticky.
