The EcoFlow River 2 Max has 500W AC outlets, a 512Wh LiFePO4 or LFP long lasting battery, super fast 660W mains charging and two-way 100W USB power delivery output and charging input. It has a very useful app to control and monitor it remotely and it’s lightweight, especially considering its LFP battery. It’s pretty good value too, comparable to similar units - you can check the current price down below.

These power stations are perfect for power cuts, camping, travel and festivals and around the house and out and about to charge all your tech. And the River 2 Max can charge at up to 220W off solar panels alone when mains isn’t available.

I’ll run through its capabilities and thoroughly test all its claims to help you decide if this is the right power station for you. So let’s take a closer look.
