What it is
The RIVER 2 is a portable power station: a rechargeable battery with regular wall-style (AC) outlets and USB ports built in.
You charge it from a wall outlet, which takes about an hour, or from a car socket or a solar panel. Then you can plug in small devices wherever you are.
Good for
- Keeping your phone, laptop, Wi-Fi router or a lamp going during a power outage
- Camping, RV trips and tailgating
- Anyone who wants backup power that's easy to carry (about 7.7 lb)
Things to know
- It's built for small devices. The AC outlets supply up to 300W (600W for short bursts), so it can't run a space heater, microwave, kettle or hair dryer.
- 256Wh is a modest battery. Running something that draws the full 300W empties it in under an hour; small devices like phones and lamps last much longer.
- A solar panel is sold separately.
