advanced technology delivers clean power on and off-grid

Now you can enjoy the virtual silence of this advanced power station, which brings you the latest in clean power technology, and can even be monitored and controlled by an App on your iPhone or Android device.

For the increasing number of people who live off-grid this is an excellent option to supplement and even reduce the costs of owning and running a traditional generator. It’s especially efficient when connecting a few low energy appliances, with users experiencing a duration of up to several days before needing to recharge. And it has possibly the fastest recharge times out there.

excellent variety of outputs and ports

You can power up to 10 devices at the same time using its selection of outputs, which include:

  • 3 x 600Watt Pure Sinewave AC outlets
  • 2 x 5V USB-A
  • 1 x USB-A Fast Charge
  • 1 x USB-C
  • 1 x 12V Car Socket
  • 2 x DC5521ports

If you need to power even more devices, perhaps for traveling, camping, or group outdoor activities, or just to have an extended duration, you can add a RIVER Pro Extra Battery (paid link), which will double the capacity from 720Wh to 1440Wh.

While it operates optimally with devices rated up to 1200W, it is designed to power some devices up to 1800W when engaging the X-Boost mode, so you can power about 80% of essential devices like kitchen appliances and DIY tools.

compact and quite lightweight

Considering its many features, the River Pro weighs just 16.8 lbs, making it highly portable and the perfect companion for every serious adventurer and camper who recognises the need for reliable and durable independent power away from utility power.

ultra-Fast recharge

Class leading recharge time won’t leave you hanging around. It takes just 1 hour to charge from 0 to 80%, made possible by the application of EcoFlow’s patented X-Treme Technology which is up to 10X faster than the competition.
