Nice comparison. A little note, though: the wider MPPT range of the max and pro allows for use of much cheaper per watt residential 400W panels. This is overpanelling, so won't provide them more than 220W, just 220W way more often than a 220W RV panel.
Thank you for the explanations! I hadn't caught the difference between the xt60 and xt60i until your vid. Got the right one on order and hopefully I'll get more from my panel now into my river 2 pro!
Loved the video I have the river pro with the extension battery. I do love the lights you mentioned and ordered them, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video. I'd like to know more about exactly what occurred with your coffee maker. I watched the River 2 Pro video. I'm concerned because I'm getting a power station primarily for use with a pellet smoker which has a processor controlled auger and fan system. It certainly doesn't have the initial surge of a coffee maker, but I don't want to risk damaging the cooker.
Hi thanks
I had xboost on and I shouldn’t have. That’s made for hearing devices like hair dryers etc
Thank you... I just realized they have 2 versions of the basic river 2. 243wh and a 256wh one...Hopefully you can compare this one in the future.
Will this help?

@@TechMadeEzy Thank you but actually both are the River 2, just different watt hours based on what I see on their website specs, so no the link doesn't help. I have contacted EcoFlow to ask questions. Thanks for your reviews though, they are so awesome!
@@TechMadeEzy Update : EcoFlow confirmed its initial release of River 2 was with a lower rated lithium battery. They changed the battery but decided not to change the name of the product, so both are River 2. The company no longer sells the lower rated one (243 wh) on their direct site, but some are available through their distribution chamnel. The warranty is still 5 years. So its a good savings opportunity for anyonw willing to give up 13wh
Great video, thanks a lot! Are bluetooth and wifi always active (and if so, don't they burden the bactery span)? Or can they be kept turned off? People suffering with EHS syndrome would certainly appreciate that.
Hi thanks so much
Sure hope you subscribe
To my knowledge there is no way to turn them off
So, if these units can not be used as UPS devices, what would you recommend in that regard?
Preferably something with LFP batteries please
It really all depends on what you’re going to connect to it. EPS is fine for many devices.
@@TechMadeEzy let's say a 65" TV + soundbar & router
That type of stuff can work fine with the EPS that the EcoFlow power stations have. Computers, servers those can be more sensitive to non UPS power back up. You just have to make sure you choose the one that has a right capacity so it’ll last long as well as power making sure I can power all the units you wanted to.
How do you maintain the battery properly ?
Check the user manual. It has the specifics that the manufacturer is looking for so you can also maintain your warranty. I would definitely say in general don’t let it sit at 0% and don’t let it sit at 100% because of the type of battery. It’s just not healthy for the battery, but that’s just a tip. Definitely check the manual for the maintenance.
Such a Beautiful Detailed & Informative Review. Thank you 🙏 Brother.
Big Thanks
Excellent video. I have a quick question. The solar panels that I ordered comes with a charge controller. The Ecoflow comes with its own internal charge controller doesn't it? Which would mean that I should be able to plug the solar panels straight in without the external charge controller correct?
Anyways...thumbs up and I will be purchasing the lights and the cable from your affiliate links. Thanks again!
No need for a charge controller, it’s built into the power station. Enjoy 👍🏼
@@TechMadeEzy Thank you very much. Its appreciated!
Let me know what you end up doing and how it goes
Did
I’d the Velcro come with your power cords or did you put that on there? I recently got a River 2 Max and it did not come with any Velcro, which would be nice.
Some come with it and some don’t, not sure why
Do they have a shutoff before they zero out?
Hi
When they hit 0 they will shut down on their own. I don’t recommend letting them do to 0 too often, try 10% min
@@TechMadeEzy I was hoping it could be set on device. Just in case it happens during sleep. This happened to my gas gen now I can’t get it to start.
Give me an example so I understand what you are trying to do
These don't have integrated shutoff at custom state of charge. You may achieve that with home assistant though. As far as I know, it shouldn't be a problem to let them go to 0% as long as you don't let them sit for long after that without recharging. Taking them to 0% is part of the 3000 cycles specification.
@@Texg1rl_ you can limit discharge percentage with the app, however it does not work with the usb's if I remember correctly.
I RECEIVED MY RIVER 2 MAX AND ON THE CHARGING CORD IT HAS A FELCRO STRAP ON IT READS FOR RIVER SERIES ONLY.
Can you set them 3 River 2 Series to stop charging at a certain battery level automatically like always at 85% and to automatically turn off when it is at 20% battery level? I want it to always charge up to 85% always without manually turning off the charging when it is at 85% and turn off the whole thing when it reaches 20 percent battery. My Samsung phone has a feature that you can make the phone stop charging when it reaches 85% to help save or extend battery service life. Able to automatically do that would make my work or life easier.
You can set charge and discharge levels
Example when you are charging you can set a max of 85% then it won’t charge the River anymore or you can set discharge levels, example 20% then it won’t discharge anymore .
@@TechMadeEzy Thanks a lot. I'm planning either the River 2 Max or the River 2 Pro. If I have the budget for the River 2 Pro I might consider stepping up a bit to the Bluetti AC180 or the AC180p. I'm very much familiar with the River 2 series and the OG River but I don't still know very about the Bluetti AC180 and AC180P. I won't be stepping up to the Delta 2 because it is out of my reach so far and not considering the OG River series and OG Delta series because of the Li Io's somewhat short life. Thanks again for sharing your in depth knowledge and I will be watching more of your informative vids. It takes me time to digest all of these new infos because I'm new to these.😍🤩😃
EcoFlow Delta 2 is on sale for $699 after a $300 instant coupon you select before check out, great deal amzn.to/47e91eB
Job well done, this is the best video I've seen very simple to understand coming from a non tech guy I understood everything! Keep up the good work.
Richard thank you so much
Hello, I am way late to the game. Just got the River 2. New version. I bought a fold up panel. It says 600w. I ride ebikes, I think that's no quite accurate. Will I hurt the unit by using it? Your video was excellent. Thank you for any info.
STOP 🛑
do not connect that panel.
I will leave you a link to my River 2 review below but it can only handle 110w more importantly stay within these key specs or you can damage your unit and void your warranty
110w max 11-30v 8A max

Great Video. Very insightful deep dive and has helped me make the choice of which one I want to buy.
Still don't understand why they went with xt60i since the standard xt60 will support 60 amps, hence the name. Great video, very informative.
I've been buying these new ecoflow models since these were released. I also have the original pro with the extended battery. I was debating buying the pecron e600 lfp or the new river pro. I chose the pecron and I am really impressed with it. I find each of my ecoflows are picky with cables for the USB C PD port. For the pecron every one of my USB C cables work using the PD port on the pecron.
Also on the pecron if you leave the AC or DC on with no load it hardly drains just like multiple tests show. On the ecoflows they drain much more.
These are just a few things I found
Thanks for sharing
have any recommendations on adapters for the 100watt solar input on the pecron e600lfp?
im having some trouble finding adapters to work with my solar panels.
Check out our video and you’ll actually see the adapter we used. We also have them in the link in the description.

@@TechMadeEzy can you check the description? i dont see a link to any solar adapter
John the power station comes with the cable you need to connect to 99% of solar panels that use MC4 cables.
Check 2mins 29 seconds into the video
th-cam.com/video/9y8ee48LqSA/w-d-xo.html
Thanks. Just what I needed
Thanks for watching. Let me know if you have any questions. What unit do you have now?
The most important spec IMO is watt-hours. How long can you run a device. Now when I calculate dollars/watt-hours I find the River 2 gives you 0.93 Wh/$. The River 2 Max provides 0.91Wh/$ and the R2Pro only 0.78 Wh/$. Notwithstanding the fact that features may be different (better or not) I don't think I get the bang for my buck spending more.
Complimenti, hai descritto in modo molto chiaro e preciso 👍
👏👏👏👏👏👏 Very good information thanks
Thank you
Very easy to understand
That’s my goal thank you
Are the "top" dimensions of the pro and max the same? I.e. is the pro just taller than the max? that's how it looked to me, but I can't find the dimensions online, of course! Thanks so much
Hi there
Pro is slightly taller
Great detailed vid thanks for sharing
Thank you
👍👍
i wonder if anyone is having a problem with the river 2 max dc cigarette port?
i was just sent a replacement river 2 max and i am having the same issue.
it overloads when i plug my portable refrigerator.
the same refrigerator works fine on both my river 2s.
Weird
Can I use the xt60i with the river 2 300w to get 8 amps ?
Hi River 2 is Xt60 not xt60i it doesn’t have the pin
Yes, they are compatible, but with the xt60 do not exceed the amperage the cable can handle.
I think it would be a bad idea.
Your comparison is so clean that I enjoyed listening and reading it and lost track of time viewing it. 10/10 rating for quality content!
Thanks so much
Thank you. I got the smallest one for a really good price, approx half price through a special, and am happy to learn the deets before I head out on a car camping trip in the summer.
That’s awesome congrats definitely enjoy! If you have any questions, let me know. Thanks for watching our video.
Hi what is the name of the song in the beginning?
I’m traveling but check the video description it’s listed so the artist gets credit
Extension video! Many thanks 👍🏻
Thank you
nice thorough review tyvm
Thank you
Great video thanks👌
Eish thank you
Very clear and to the point once you got started
love your reviews
what would the river 2 pro do if you had say a 250W solar panel??.. usually you are not getting the max form a panel.. but middle of a clear day you might get the full 250W power.. what would the unit do? die, cut out and reset? hopefully would be handy..
Thanks for your compliment, the potential wattage the panel can produce isn't important, just make sure you are staying below the voltage ( voc ) the panel can produce. If the panels voc is higher than the power station can handle you can burn out the mppt controller ( solar controller ) in the unit. Just know your specs but higher wattage is no issue.
