As spring nears, families might be gearing up for more camping trips, especially with the rainy season approaching, which highlights the need for better emergency preparedness. In both cases, the EcoFlow River 3 portable power station presents a viable solution. It is currently available at a significant discount of 44% off the original price, dropping from $338 to $189, offering savings of $149.
The EcoFlow River 3 is capable of delivering a power output of up to 600W, which can be expanded to 1200W with its X-Boost technology. It comes equipped with various ports, allowing up to seven essential devices to be powered simultaneously without overload risk. This device includes three AC outlets, two USB-A ports, one USB-C port, and a car charging outlet, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of electronic devices.
In the event of a power outage, essential devices can still be operated efficiently. The River 3 offers enough power to keep a 60W refrigerator running for about three and a half hours, while standard 9W lightbulbs can last up to 18 hours. This ensures preparedness even during a blackout.
The EcoFlow River 3 can keep a smartphone charged approximately 19 times, a camera about 12 times, and a drone around six times. This power station charges quickly, achieving full capacity in just 60 minutes. For spontaneous trips, users can start charging while packing, and it will be ready by the time they depart. In situations without access to power outlets, such as camping, users can rely on the included solar panels. These panels allow the EcoFlow River 3 to fully recharge in about 7.3 hours using solar energy. The four-panel setup is designed to fold conveniently to fit into compact spaces like backpacks or vehicle trunks.
Designed with portability in mind, the EcoFlow River 3 weighs only 10.4 lbs and comes with a handle for easy carrying and transportation. Built for longevity, this power station can withstand over 3,000 recharges, equating to roughly 10 years of use.
