EcoFlow River 2 Max - amzn.to/3G2RbRS
At Artisan Electrics we love battery technology, and over the past few months we've found a soft spot for products by EcoFlow. Today we wanted to show off the recently update EcoFlow River 2 range. Although we have previously tried out some of their larger portable batteries, the River 2 Max is a portable battery that is much more geared up for our line of work. With a 512Wh battery and capability to be fully charged in 60 minutes, is this currently the best portable battery on the market? We'll let you decide.

Is this currently the best portable battery on the market? 🧰🛠 Tool Of The Day 👇 EcoFlow River 2 Max - amzn.to/3G2RbRS

@InspectorGadget2014 Год назад

There are quite a few brands & makes out there and we have been using some of them for years. Bear in mind that the depicted electronics are not really high loads for such powerbanks. Try a kettle, coffee-machine, toaster or even a drill, those are resistive loads. In our experiences, the inverters are not always up to spec for the higher (resistive) loads, where they do often have difficulty with resistive loads where the start-up current (very shortly) ramps-up beyond the rated output-power of the inverters. And causing damage if not careful. A good powerbank should protect itself against such mishaps. (as you can not always know if a e.g. 500 watt drill will draw temporary pull 700 watt in a cold-start situation) It often pays off to study the specs of a powerbank. Also be very careful not to overload the solar-input, not only the supply-voltage but also input-current. (the latter often not listed!) That also could cause damage and even break the solar-input! And with some brands, if the solar-input is broken, other functions may cease to operate as well, we found out the hard way. Lastly, also try to find out if the powerbank has a builtin BMS system, especially when using modern-day chemistry of the built-in battery/batteries. In our experiences, with a particular brand, after a year or so, all of our 9x units (ranging from 200 watts up to 1500 watts) show diminished capacity on their displays because of in-balances within the battery-packs. And, with the right-to-repair in mind, also try to find out what can be done after the economical life of powerbank, can you purchase 5, 10 years from now, new battery-packs to replace the built-in battery-pack?

@AlanTiller Год назад

I've just bought the River 2 Max and I must say it is a fabulous piece of kit. I've not got solar panels yet but the campsite I was at had power points and WiFi at the main building I was able to plug it in, connect it to the WiFi and I could leave the battery and check on the app over cellular how charged the device was which I though was super cool. The device recharges super quickly and works flawlessly not to mention that fact the discharge and charge times are really accurate.

@Renlondonhome Год назад

I use a big eco flow to trickle charge my classic car in a garage with no power. I also use it with a Karcher Jet wash. It doesn’t get huge use, but when it does I love it.

@mpmatt3469 Год назад

After being without power at my house for just over 7 days at the end of November last year due to Storm Arwen my biggest problem was that my oil fired central heating combi boiler could not function. I decided to buy an Ecoflow River so that if we lost power this year I could plug my central heating into the power pack to run the heating and hot water after I realised that the boiler only needed about 200 w to run the control circuits and the pumps. Given that I would use the system intermittently, I could recharge it using my car or by visiting somewhere nearby that had power or a generator. But with the flexible outlet configuration I could also chose to charge my phone or power the wifi router as needed. Given the lack of support from my DNO or utility company I realised that having some degree of personal resilience is essential.

It’s minimal, check out Bjorn Nylands videos where he runs various EV’s till they stop. He then charges using these to get to a charge station.

@judebrown4103 Год назад

Fantastic timing Jordan! We're prone to winter power cuts here so I've been looking at these batteries. I'm not an electrician and the watts and watt hours and amps etc have been confusing me as to what it is I actually need. My wife is working from home now so the idea is to protect her office when the power is down so this was really very helpful. However I really would like to be able to make a cuppa too just to keep warm and we're all electric. Can anyone tell me is there anything that can power a kettle or is it just too power hungry and I'll have to rely on my neighbours gas hob? Thanks, great review.👍

Make a flask of boiled water in the morning should last most of the working hours

@gadgetman36 Год назад

I'm slightly confused why this review isn't on your Tools4Sparks channel.

@TWOKDOK1 Год назад

People get confused because they mix up energy and power. Simply stated, energy is measured in Joules. Power is the rate of expending that energy. The more the power the higher rate of work being done or energy being expended per unit of time. 1 Watt is when 1Joule of work or energy is expended per second. So 1 watt-hour converts to 3600 Joules because there are 3600 seconds in an hour. Similarly 1kWh, the unit of energy used by the distribution companies because the Joule or watt-second is far too small for practical use, is equal to 3.6 Million Joules. So kW is power (the rate of expending energy) and kWh is the energy (e.g. the energy stored in a battery, also called its capacity, is stated in kWh but the rate at which it is used - i.e. the power (kW) - depends on the power rating of the load and is measured in kW. So a 500w heater connected to a device like this whose capacity is 500 watt-hours will deplete it completely in 1 hour. The fact that we use the expression ‘ connecting the power’ only serves to confuse. What we are actually doing is accessing the mains energy. Our bills tell us the total energy use by our appliances operating at varying power for varying durations.

@nigardener Год назад

Do Ecoflow sell any of these or just distribute them to RU-vidrs?

@cgrexy Год назад

Try and find a review from anyone who hasn’t had one for free. I’ve seen one of the contracts they get. And yes they can be honest about the products but the contract has certain terms about what they can say they don’t like about and stuff like they can’t compare with other manufacturers

@discoequipmenthire Год назад

Four 12v 160AH AGM Leisure Batteries wired in parallel and 1500w inverter-charger from Ebay will do the same thing for less than £500 for fixed back up use during either planned or unplanned power outages, and will easily power router, central heating pump, freezer etc for several hours. I can see the attraction for portable applications but the price will have to fall into the realm of the more traditional alternatives before I would consider one.
