When in use, power supply products will inevitably generate electromagnetic fields, which are likely to affect the normal operation of medical implants or personal medical equipment such as pacemakers, cochlear implants, hearing aids, defibrillators etc. If these types of medical equipment are being used, please contact the manufacturer to inquire about any restrictions on the use of such equipment. These measures are fundamental to ensure a safe distance between the medical implants (for example, pacemakers, cochlear implants, hearing aids, defibrillators, etc.) and this product while in use.
-
When the power supply is connected in the normal mode to a refrigerator, the power supply may be automatically shut down due to the power fluctuation property of the refrigerator. If the refrigerator stores medicines, vaccines or other high-value items, it is highly recommended that you set the AC output to “Never Turn Off” through the EcoFlow app when connecting the power supply product to ensure a continuous power supply. Users should pay attention to the power consumption of the power supply.

Charge RIVER 2
AC Charging (Grid Charging)
- For AC charging, we recommend that you use a power socket with a capacity of more than 10A and ensure that the working current of the socket is constantly greater than 10A.
- For AC charging, please use the AC charging cable included in the package and plug the cable directly into a wall outlet instead of an extension socket.

- The solar charging cable (MC4-XT60 adapter cable) and the solar panel are supplied separately.
- When using an EcoFlow solar panel to charge the product, connect them according to the instructions in the user manual.
- Before connecting the solar panel, ensure that the output voltage of the solar panel is less than 30 V to avoid product damage.
Car Charging
You can recharge the product through the car power outlet. The product supports 12V/24V car chargers and a maximum charging current of 8A.
To avoid failure to start due to insufficient car battery, use the car charger after the vehicle is started. In addition, please make sure that the car charger cable is securely connected to the cigarette lighter.
EcoFlow takes no responsibilities for any loss or damage caused by failure to follow instructions.
USB-C charging

Additional Features
X-Boost
The product supports X-Boost. It can power devices rated at up to 600W without incurring operation failure due to overload protection. Observe the following tips when using the X-Boost feature:
- The X-Boost feature is not suitable for appliances with voltage protection (such as precise instruments).
- It is suitable for heating and motor-driven devices. Please conduct your own tests to check whether your devices support X-Boost.
EPS
The product supports emergency power supply (EPS). When you connect the grid
power to the AC input port of the product through an AC cable, you can power
electrical devices through the AC output port (AC power will come from the
grid instead of the power station in this situation).
In case of a sudden blackout, the product can automatically switch to the
battery-powered supply mode within 30ms.
As a basic UPS feature, the EPS does not support 0ms switching. Please do not
connect the product to any device that requires 0ms UPS (such as data servers
and workstations).
Please test and confirm the compatibility before using the product. We
recommend that you power only one device (with maximum power <600W) at a time
and avoid using multiple appliances at the same time to avoid triggering
overload protection. EcoFlow takes no responsibilities for any device failure
or data loss caused by failure to follow instructions.
Troubleshooting
If a warning appears during the use of the product and the warning icon persists after restart, please stop using the product immediately (do not attempt to charge or discharge it). For problems not covered in the preceding table, please consult EcoFlow customer service.
