For smart power backup at home and portable power on the road, look to the RIVER 3 Plus Portable Power Station from EcoFlow. At home, the compact and lightweight power station can function as a fast-responding UPS for essential electronics and appliances. The 286Wh capacity offers 600W of output for up to 21 minutes or up to 1200W with X-Boost, which allows you save work and power down your PC or continue to run your refrigerator in a power outage. When camping or on a trip, you can grab the built-in handle and take that power with you. AC, DC, USB-C, and USB-A ports supply power to a wide variety of devices, and you can use the mobile app to monitor the battery and get alerts wherever you are.
The RIVER 3 Plus has one front and two rear 3-prong outlets, a DC outlet, two USB-A ports, and a USB-C port. You can use them to power everything from household appliances or mobile devices. The two rear AC ports are ideal for setting up the RIVER 3 Plus as a UPS at home and easily hiding the cabling.
When used at home as a UPS, the pro-grade sub-10ms automatic switchover time won’t affect currently running electronics if the power goes out. This allows you to save your work on a PC and protect sensitive devices from damage.
Smart outage alert features within the RIVER 3 Plus notify you via the mobile app and EcoFlow software if the power goes out while the power station is plugged in. The power station’s PC and NAS-compatible data interface works with the software to automatically save data if the battery gets too low.
Using the EcoFlow mobile app, you can check the power station’s battery health and charging status, as well as customize various settings, such as speed control, power-saving mode, low-battery alerts, and more. Connection can be made via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, with Wi-Fi also allowing for remote control of the RIVER 3 Plus when you’re not at home.
You can use four different methods to recharge the RIVER 3 Plus. Included are an AC charging cable, which can recharge the battery in up to an hour, and a car charging cable for mobile use. Optional methods include a solar panel that can output up to 220W for a full recharging in approximately 1.5 hours, or a gas generator, which can take up to an hour for a full recharge.
EcoFlow’s X-Guard technology offers cloud-based battery monitoring and battery protection. Over 40 safety measures work to protect against a variety of anomalies, such as those related to short circuits, voltage, and temperature.
The RIVER 3 Plus is made to handle the rigors of outdoor use. It’s IP54-rated for water and dust resistance, shock resistant to falls from up to 3′, and features a fire-retardant shell.
