Nice, this has some really good upgrades over my Bluetti eb70s. I was annoyed by Ecoflow’s marketing that was claiming 1600w capacity on some ads without mentioning the true 800w capacity of the inverter. My only other gripe is with sogen manufacturers in general - they should provide more than 10amps of dc output. They should go up to at least 12 to 15 amps, but I would like to see it go even higher. A wireless charge pad would be nice too, but overall this looks like a really good product!!

Thanks very much for the buzz test for musicians. Hope you enjoyed your time away, but glad your back doing reviews. I’m (prob) working as an outdoor festival musician this autumn. I’m not assuming the venue will have power or a PA & I’ll be primitive camping. The “buzz” is the 1° reason for no Bluetti EB3A. This products checks all the boxes - except for the buzz = no go. I’ve had good experience with BLUE customer service. I anticipate good service from EF. So far, EF Delta 2 is my leading contender. ps. Can you add an “approximate residual power loss” aspect? For everything else your reviews are head and shoulder above anything else I’ve read or watched. pps. Keep this up! Really appreciate your content!

I live on Maui, we can't get these things shipped here. So I called EcoFlow and they let me know about a dealer on O'ahu called Battery Bob. They were expecting this model soon so I left my information and waited. Today I got the call, paid and they will ship it to my island on the interisland barge. Watching the current KZbin reviews it wasn't too difficult to figure out that this model will serve my needs well.

I have river pro and used for several camping and long road trip to power my 12v refrigerator. This looks like significant upgrade! I only use DC output and one problem is DC is not very efficient on River Pro. I have two 100w solar panels and I had to connect in parallel. With v2 I can do series (less cable and more efficient) as it supports upto 50v. It also has slightly higher capacity, LFP, and same pass through capability.

I bought the river 2 pro after watching your video and then discovered something! The DC input in the back is an XT60i! If you get the "i" it can handle 13a instead of the 8a the XT60 can. Your test bumped against the 8a limit of the XT60 plug I'm guessing you used. And it can do simultaneous charging but has a hard limit of 800w. If you set the AC charging lower I've seen it charge from both as long as you are under the hard limit. So no massive charging from everything but it can take input from both at the same time. I see mine do it everyday in the morning since the battery discharged to my backup reserve limit and it starts trickle charging from AC and then also solar until the solar can handle the load.

The mic will have that noise on it as well. Its why I'm so annoyed I didn't watch hobotech's review of the Jackery 1500 before I bought it. Hope some day you can look at the powerkit. Make sure that doesn't have a noisy inverter for #vanlife people trying to work remotely.

I bought several EcoFlow battery generators and several of their solar panels. When I went to charge them using the solar panels I found out that you need to buy an accessory MC4 to XT60 connector cable in order to charge these with solar panels. I really like the EcoFlow generators, but I thought this was pretty lousy and I'm sure many will find out the hard way when they have an emergency. BTW, Bluetti does come with a connector to use solar charging.

Main issue I have with Eco-Flow products is the lack of blue-tooth on many of their products and/or functionality. I don't want to have setup a wi-fi network or switch my mobile device over to the Eco-Flow just to check status when I'm camping! This is a HUGE no-go for me. Also if a unit can be used as a UPS then make the inverter output AC outlets grounded to the input AC so the ALL devices that require grounds can function properly and safely - another HUGE design flaw. As Always thank you Professor for your most thorough review - you are my go to for these products, and I was LOL at your ROBOTECH parody!

@@thebbiddim882 I'm not sure if this appiles to this product Professor Hobotech is reviewing in his video (since it appears the AC oulets have a ground pin) as I have and older gen River MAX Plus but the AC Outlets (output) on the the right side do not have grounding prong connection (just blank hollow holes) so unit will no ground outlets to the grounded input (house utility plug). this could be a problem for some electronics require that grounded plug to remain safe and funtion properly. BTW I purchased my Ecoflow River MAX plus refurbed from ecoflow a couple years ago and it just failed when I needed it most to keep a small DC fridge running during a power outage - about to contact Ecoflow on how to get repaird.

These power station solar generators remind me of the large radios or "boomboxes" from back in the day, and I remember the D batteries some of them took. It be nice if these units had a battery compartment to change out the batteries when the batteries cycle time maxed out, and no longer able to hold a charge, though that would require all the manufactures to stay on the same page.

These newer power stations that have the LiFePO4 aim to solve some of that. They are supposed to have a 3,000 charge and empty cycle lifespan. If someone charged and completely drained it everyday that would last 10 years. Who even knows where technology will be in 10 years. We didn’t even have these power stations widely available 10 years ago. That’s makes these a safe bet at least until the next step in tech.

I am dubious that capacity can be boosted by 10 or 15% just by firmware changes. Maybe you could retest the smaller River 2 units to see if they've improved.

Hope you're well. Thanks for the three finger up w/thumb&little finger curled into the palm. Can I call you a descendant of Shem? Thank goodness for innovations. Most car 12v sockets these days will do 15A.

Excellent video, extremely helpful. Would it be possible and practical to use the river2 pro as a full time UPS to power my cable modem and netgear router. I have a battery backup system specifically for my home sump pumps that also has a wireless module to alert me to any problems with the system. So, I need to be sure my internet does not shut down when the power goes as it often does. Thanks for your time.

Do you have retry the battery capacity test on the River 2 and River 2 Max to see if they have made a software update to correct the 7X % result? If no, can you please do it? Thanks! By the way, great quality content as usual from you! It's always appreciate!

When I want to power a small a/c load with my large power station, I use an old 300 watt inverter. Seems to extend the useful life of the battery with the same load rather than the built in 1000 watt inverter. Thought I'd pass along my experience in case it would be helpful to others.

Yup, I do the same thing. Actually I go one better... most small A/C loads are wall-warts for devices that take 12VDC inputs. Get rid of the wall-wart entirely, turn off the AC output, and run the device from the 12VDC output. Though unfortunately most of these power stations also have fairly inefficient DC outputs. There is no reason for it, buck converters can be made 95%+ efficient. Why they don't do it? Probably don't want to spend the tiny bit of extra money on parts. Still, at least the DC output doesn't have any vampire current. I run my cable modem from a little GoLabs' DC output (which doesn't suffer from the 8-hour timeout that the AC output has, either). The cable modem only eats about 5W and the little power station lasts 3 days without mains. I can also run laptops and mini-PCs from (typically) the USB-C output. You can buy USB-C -> 19V cables (USB-C negotiates the voltage, amperage cap is 5A regardless (100W @ 19V), so you can actually get a decent 19VDC output via a USB-C PD port). And again, they last far longer on backup power verses running them off of AC. -Matt

We need another test - How much battery drainage occurs per hour if the AC is turned on but no devices are connected, or what is the parasitic draw? 800w inverter should be low, but these portable devices are very poor in that area in my experience, which also somewhat negates their very purpose.

I have one of the river 2 maxes and in winter it's on my fish tank. Has the latest firmware and weirdly enough sometimes it switches over instantly and sometimes the light on my tank goes out for a second. So probably still not for computers UPS.... They work nice though, I bought a max instead of a pro and it looks like the pro would have been a better size for me.... but I keep it in my truck back seat and it runs a small air compressor in my box so I'm happy as I have mobile air and an always charged 600w power station with me wharever I go. Sure I could have installed an inverter for the compressor but then it's stuck with the truck and loses the ability to be used elsewhere. Good products sofar It seems

Hey! Would you be willing to retest the capacity of the two smaller units with the newer firmware? Very interested in seeing if they actually improved. Thanks!

I don't watch all the way to the end because you seem to play the same end-of-show video. I often bail as soon as you say "subscribe". Suggest you mix it up. Before you say goodbye tell viewers what is coming up for "end-of-show". Create a dozen different exit vids and suprise us. You could ask us to send you images of our solar setups and run those at the end. Maybe even have the cat say different things. Keep up the good work!! Thanks!

I wonder if the UPS/EPS function takes different time to switch over depending on load. The laptop was pretty light load. I'm looking at 100-200w of desktop computer switching.
