You can expand the capacity of this and most other SoGens by using a 12.8vDC 100aH battery and a 12v to 24v DC-DC step up converter. Plug it into the solar input for 1200wH of extra capacity.

4-7-2023 -- TODD I wish I saw this video before I bought my River 2 PRO. I have the River 2 MAX and it wouldn't power my full size refrig (*Refrig peak surge as shown by Kill-a-watt meter = 1216 watts). So I saw the PRO had a peak surge of 1600 watts and ASSuMEd this would power my refrig. NOPE... same as you got the "Overload" error on both. My PRO has a loud whistle sound when I plug into the 12v DC 5521 ports, so I asked Amzn to have it returned and I would buy the Delta 2 as the youtubers show Delta 2 does power a full size refrig. * So when I got the return shipping label it said I HAVE TO PAY FOR RETURN shipping back to Ecoflow. So much for a "5 year Warranty" :+( Strange thing is I own a Milin 622wh power station that DOES Power my full size Refrig, WITH NO PROBLEM... {Make sense of that?) Not sure what the problem is, I kill-a-watt'ed my refrig and it peak surged at 1216 watts!! Not happy with the River 2 PRO, will have Delta 2 elibvered tomorrow, so I'll see if that does power my full size kitchen Refrig. I should have just skipped the River 2 MAX, and PRO and gone right to the ECOFLOW DELTA . Live & learn. Great video as always. Delta 2 specs SO MUCH better than the River 2 line-up... just heavier and more expen$ive. Love Ecoflow's app compared to Bluetti. Ecoflow app sets it apart from the competition. 5 Stars app.

Great review, many thanks for the content)

Great review. You covered it well. I have a River Pro, which is used mainly for home use power tools and garden appliances up to 600 watt, This is 80% of what I own. That extra 200 watts will be mighty handy though. The fact that the weight stays much the same is a BIG plus. Low weight is a major factor with portability and EcoFlow has balanced the weight/output of this handyman/gardener sized unit very well. The price is also good. Great product. Cheers Rob

Great review as usual Todd, thanks!

Great comparison and review. Glad to see Ecoflow putting LFP in their new models! I prefer LFP because of the added safety and cycles.... But man that $400 on the older gen 1 is tempting!

I've seen at least half a dozen reviews of the new Ecoflow River 2 Pro on KZread, and none of you even mention the fact that this is the first Solar Generator to receive the TUV Rheinland Certification, which is a pretty BIG deal!?

Hi Todd, you have produce another great quality video that's loaded with information and I really enjoy watching your well produced reviews. I think I would have liked this new River 2 Pro, but after communicating with you after you reviewed the New Delta 2 we purchased the Delta 2 and we're glad we did. I like the Delta 2 design better and it has a larger LFP battery and a good size inverter too, and it does everything I have asked it to do at home and in our RV on the road. Another thing that I really like is the APP because it's easy to use like Todd says and just works well. So those of you thinking of a purchasing a quality solar generator, Ecoflow is one the names to consider.

Great review Todd! Always a clean video with all the detail 👍🏼👊🏼

Would love to see a video comparing this to the delta mini series

Excellent. Video!

Great review thank you

Nice review! Great lookin’ and performing unit. I’m still using my first EcoFlow product, the original River Pro and it is my favorite for camping! I use it for charging my iPad and iPhone and a fan, as needed. I have a home made battery box with a 12 volt, 1280 wh battery that I use for my ICECO JP40. No need for an update at this time.

The original River Pro is $259 refurb from their official store on eBay right now. Mine looks brand new, all the ports and Bluetooth work. Shipped in 3 days. Hard to beat that price!

I was looking at Jackery for the longest time and thought I'd own a Jackery when I'm ready to pull the trigger, within a week EcoFlow has sold me. These guys make a good product. Looks like Jackery is trying to offload a bunch of Explorer 880's on sale at Costco for $750 (they don't even sell this on their site anymore, it's that outdated), while this thing is $700 regular price (Canadian Dollars). Sure 100+ more watts, but the price difference didn't justify it since this has LFP.

Thank you, great review. I just picked it up for $429.

Having issues with mines is making a clicking sound and not charging

💯 excellent review. I’m always wanting the availably to use a microwave oven.

Started out with a River 2 and quickly realized...not enough capacity to last a day or two of Winter carCamping/ tentCamping: running two 50w (AC) heating pads, maybe a 200w (AC) micro heater and recharge iPad and phone.
