EcoFlow RIVER 2

The EcoFlow RIVER 2 stores 256 Wh and delivers 300 W continuous through its inverter. It accepts up to 110 W of solar via XT60. Of 11 checked solar panels, 1 fits directly and 3 with an adapter cable.

At a glance

Not enough: Camping with cooler (only 3.3 of 24 hrs of use), Working from home (only 2.8 of 16 hrs of use), CPAP overnight (only 5 of 8 hrs of use), Job site (too weak)
Unclear: Home blackout (startup unclear), Fridge only (startup unclear)

Calculated with the simulator's starter profiles, no sun and no recharging. Calculate with your devices and solar: runtime simulator → · Details under “Runtime”

Solar input

Ports (XT60): 1^{[1, 2]}
MPPT voltage range: 11–30 V^{[1, 2]}
Open-circuit voltage (Voc) max.: 30 V^{[1, 2]}
Input current max.: 8 A^{[1, 2]}
Solar power max.: 110 W^{[1, 2]}

Restrictions per source

Single 11-30V window; series wiring of 12V-class panels exceeds 30V.

Connector per source: XT60-family solar/car input (plain XT60 vs XT60i variant not confirmed in reviewed sources)

Runtime for typical uses

Calculated like the runtime simulator: typical scenario, no sun, full battery. Idle draw 8 W (estimate). Bars up to 72 hours.

Compatible solar panels

11 solar panels, each checked against this station's limits. Open-circuit voltage is multiplied by a cold factor of 1.10. How the check works
