You mentioned several times that you cannot add an external battery. Yes you can. Just connect the appropriate size battery to the solar input and you are good to go.

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

That was more about how the version 1 had the ability to buy and expansion battery that could plug right into the unit.

[@stevehopper6068]

@@Wanderer001_Reviews According to the manual the solar input voltage range is 11-50v. So all you need is a battery, or multiple batteries, wired to output 12v, or 24v, e.g., find a mating connector for the River 2 solar input, and voila, more power.

Can you run a CPAP machine with the humidifier turned off first more than one night?

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

Most likly not without topping off the battery in the day. My reletve has the Delta 2 and said they got 2 night out of it at 8hrs each night.

Hi. Could you explain why, in this case 21:21, the station will be powered for 8-9 hours instead of 12-13 hours? Based on my calculations, 47 multiplied by 8 equals 376, not 637(which is 83%). I understand that the station requires some energy to operate, but does it really need that much? Or could it be due to the station's efficiency? I bought a new station and with a 100% output of 53W, which lasts only 8 hours and 15 minutes. Why is its performance so poor?

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

The lights I use for filming are old and vary the pull of power they do. They also do read well. As you saw everything else looked ok for power time with this station.

[@andregoforth]

I love this thing. Slight correction though 20:24 that says 51 minutes, not hours

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

You are right I did not notice the quick change over to the min even when I was editing. Good eyes.

[@jessstone7486]

This is quite a complete review, although you failed to mention the 5 yr warranty. That's big, to me. Also, there is no solar charging cable included - that is not cool. Price today is 399 on EF site.

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

Thank you for the feedback. I tend to forget about things like that doing a hardware review. My thoughts on the no solar charging cable being included is that most of the solar panles EF sales come with them.

[@bdmenne]

Good voice, style, energy. ✌️

[@lousureta6237]

Can I use it white charging?

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

Yes you can.

[@btipton]

Do you think this would work with a small electric kettle to boil water?

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

It should be able to pull that off.

[@karenrr110]

How long will it power a small 200w ceramic heater? Great review, thanks.

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

If it runs at 200w all the time about 3hrs.

[@sourceuniverse7483]

Will this power a fridge and portable A/C at the same time?

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

I don't think it could do both at the same time.

[@angelmartinez9188]

Can you charge the EcoFlow while also using it to charge devices at the same time?

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

Yes.

[@JamesShisiah]

Hello. I'm considering buying this unit. Does it support pass-through charging? Can you use your desktop plugged into the Ecoflow while the Ecoflow is plugged into the socket outlet 24/7?

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

It does support passthrough charging. I would say it depends on your desktop. I have a gaming laptop but a good gaming desktop can draw more power than my laptop can put out.

[@JamesShisiah]

@@Wanderer001_Reviews Great. I intend to use it as a UPS. We usually have random power blackouts which last 2 minutes to a couple of hours. I will purchase the unit and find out. Even if it doesn't power the desktop, at least it will keep my Starlink online.

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

@@JamesShisiah Let me know who it goes.

[@firerock277]

Can you use it while it’s plugged in? Or must you unplug it?

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

You can use while it is plugged in.

[@marcocorrea2247]

I have a question, can I use in 220V?

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

AC Input: 100-120V~50Hz/60Hz

[@Joybean111]

How long will it power a fridge? 120 v

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

Estimate would be about 7 hours. If it consistently draws 100 watts of power. The fridge does cycle on and off though

[@Joybean111]

@@Wanderer001_Reviews thank you! Just got mine and will be testing.

[@devin8329]

@@Joybean111how long does it last with fridge ?

[@spiritualqueenmother6628]

Can you use this with the Ecoflow Wave 2 Portable Air Conditioner

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

Based on the spcs the draw of power should be within the rage this can do.

[@Francoisdp82]

What makes you think pure sine wave is required for your computer? Did you know that most UPSes are not pure sine? The psu in your computer converts power form AC to DC before it get to your motherboard anyway. So AC power does not touch your motherboard... Pure sine may be better for your psu but it doesn't do anything for your internal components.

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

Did not think it was required, more of a nice thing to have and one less thing to worry about.

[@clelee9937]

What is the difference for Chinese version?

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

Most of it looks like just differnt ports for the AC part.

[@clelee9937]

Thank you for the reply

How can I reset my Ecoflow river pro 2?

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

To factory setting or forgetting wifi and app?

[@gdog1443]

XT60 connector at the back my friend, not a MC4.

[@HAW-n3t]

How do you charge this. Do you put it in the sun or do u plug into an electrical outlet?

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

There are a few differnt way to charge it. It does come with a cable to plug it in to charge, but you can also charge it via solar panels, which are sold separately.

[@danielmart7940]

It was heavier when you weighed it on your scale because it was full of 'lectricity'😂

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

You know what that is something I did not think about 😂. I will have to keep that in mind in the future. lol

[@Mega1andy2]

so tbh, i love the ecoflow river 2 pro in this stage, with only 1 monitor and desktop computer, i can pull 45 watts just idling at like 10 hours at least, with 800 watts maximum, thats very good. now, i have my full rig up with both monitors and i can get like 7 or 8 hours with only at 65 to maybe 70 watts. giving me that amount of runtime. only for idle. if i was on full load, then i may have 3 hours to play gta 5 on my pc. if my pc was going for a full load of 300 watts. though thats not the case. so this is very portable, and yet, i don't have solar panels which is 220 bifacial solar panels, i use this MAINLY for my desktop computer, and maybe a laptop computer if i go out. i have to take out the battery because it tends to get very hot. and at 100% i can run my laptop computer for 15 watts at least a days worth.
