EcoFlow’s redesigned River 2 batteries double as kettle bells

Massive-ass battery maker EcoFlow is asserting the redesigned River 2 collection immediately fitted with lengthy lasting LFP (LiFePO4) batteries and many ports to energy your AC and DC units. These are batteries sized to energy your weekend away or a music pageant.

The River 2 collection consists of three batteries that modify by storage capacities, most AC energy (pure sine wave) output, and charging ports:

The batteries might be charged in 4 alternative ways: a typical AC wall outlet, moveable photo voltaic panels, a 12V automotive socket, and USB-C. The bottom River 2 can cost to 100% in as quick as 60 minutes, whereas the Max and Professional fashions take a bit longer resulting from their bigger batteries.

The River 2 collection, like most EcoFlow batteries, can make the most of the corporate’s X-Increase tech. X-Increase is a bit trick that lowers the output voltage to permit some units rated as much as 1600W (like warmth weapons and espresso machines) to function off the River 2’s inverter. It doesn’t work with all high-wattage units, although.

Vanlifers involved with maximizing area will admire the deal with placement which has been moved to the facet. The ensuing flat floor on prime can be utilized to stack a number of River 2 batteries or function a makeshift desk. The batteries may also function dual-use kettle bells with the entry-level mannequin weighing 7.8lbs (3.5kg), the Max 13.4lbs (6.8kg), and Professional 17.2lbs (7.8kg). I’m critical. Staying Instagram fairly is difficult work — vanlife’s not all fairy lights and sunsets, . 

The bottom River 2 mannequin is priced at $239 / €299 / £269, the River 2 Max at $469 / €599 / £549, and the large boy River 2 Professional lists for $599 / €799 / £749. They’re in the stores beginning November ninth in each US and European configurations.
