Connecting the Solar Panels

The RIVER Max Plus can support a 10-25V DC input. When the input exceeds 25V, the RIVER Max Plus overvoltage protection will be activated. Overvoltage may damage the product. Users should read these instructions carefully because any incorrect use of solar panels that leads to product damage will void the EcoFlow warranty.

How to Recharge the RIVER Max Plus Using Solar Panels
For full step-by-step instructions about how to connect RIVER Max Plus with solar panels, please refer to the Solar Panel User Guide.

1. Recommend Charging Method
Users can connect a solar panel as shown in Example 1. DO NOT attempt to connect more than one solar panel in a series.

  1. Connect the solar panel to the MC4 to XT60 Solar Charging Cable. Connect the XT60 connector to the RIVER Max Plus’ XT60 input port to charge the RIVER Max Plus. Users can connect up to 2 sets of solar panels in parallel to the MC4 port as shown in Example 2.
  2. If you want to connect 2 sets of solar panels, connect them with our solar MC4 parallel connection cable and connect the solar MC4 parallel connection cable to the MC4 to XT60 Solar Charging Cable. Then Connect the XT60 connector to the RIVER Max Plus’ XT60 input port to charge the device. The parallel connection cable is an optional accessory that is sold separately.

Note: The EcoFlow Solar MC4 Parallel Connection cable is an optional accessory that needs to be purchased separately. The charging methods below are with respect to using the EcoFlow 110W Solar Panel.

Charging Method 1

RIVER Max Plus Charging Port

Charging Method 2: (Parallel Connection Only)

2. Connecting Third-Party Solar Panels to RIVER Max Plus
Users can buy their own third-party solar panels to power RIVER Max Plus, provided that the solar panels have a standard MC4 connection and the voltage and current (10-25V DC, 12A Max) comply with the specifications of RIVER Max Plus. The third-party solar panels will be able to recharge RIVER Max Plus through the MC4 to XT60 cable. EcoFlow does not provide free repair services for any damage to the power station caused by third-party products.

Entry-Level UPS

Entry-Level UPS RIVER Max Plus Entry-level UPS Use Reminder RIVER Max Plus’ X-Stream system supports an entry-level UPS function. You can use the RIVER Max Plus AC socket while the RIVER Max Plus is connected to an AC power source (your devices or appliances connected to the RIVER Max Plus AC socket will get power from the AC power source, not the RIVER Max Plus battery). When the AC power source loses power suddenly, the RIVER Max Plus will switch to provide power to the devices and appliances connected to it in <30ms. This is considered as an “entry-level” grade UPS function that does not support 0ms switching.
Do not connect devices with strict uninterrupted power supply requirements. Perform multiple tests to confirm compatibility before connecting devices such as data servers and workstations with RIVER Max Plus. EcoFlow will not be responsible for any loss of data or equipment damages caused by customers’ failure in following the instruction.
In accordance with the UL2743 standard, the AC outlets of the RIVER Max Plus are in a double blade, ungrounded configuration, it is recommended to use the UPS function only for temporary emergency usage rather than for long-term usage. DO NOT connect the RIVER Max Plus to devices or electrical appliances with bare metal when charging to avoid the risk of electric shock.

Entry-Level UPS User Guide
Users can connect the AC charging cable of RIVER Max Plus to an AC power source, connect a device to RIVER Max Plus, and turn on the AC switch to automatically enter the entry-level UPS mode. When the AC power source is cut off, power will be supplied from the battery of RIVER Max Plus to power your device (as shown below).*
UPS is only applicable to electrical appliances below 600W. To avoid an Overload condition, do not attempt to power any equipment drawing more than 600W of power. EcoFlow will not be responsible for any loss of data or equipment damages caused by careless use or customers’ failure to follow the instructions. Only one RIVER Max Plus can conduct the UPS function; the UPS function is not available when more than one RIVER Max Plus is connected together. Please follow the connection instructions below:

AC X-Boost Mode With the built-in 600W inverter, you can use the X-Boost feature to power 600W-1200W appliances without the disruption caused by overload protection. Traditional inverters will overload when one electrical appliance with a higher rated power is connected. Meanwhile, RIVER Max Plus’ built-in inverter, which has the X-Boost feature, enables the powering of 600W-1200W electrical appliances. Please take note of the following when using X-Boost:

  1. The X-Boost mode is enabled by default. You can use the EcoFlow App to turn this function on/off.
  2. The X-Boost mode is not available in the following situations: the charging state and X-Boost mode off state.
  3. **When using appliances with a rated power of 600W-1200W, please connect only one appliance. When connecting more than one electrical appliance, the change of voltage may affect the usage of other electrical devices.***

* You may use electrical appliances with heating elements and a rated power between 600W-1200W, such as hairdryers and electric kettles. But the X-Boost mode is not applicable to all electrical devices. Some devices with a rated power of 600W-1200W that have strict voltage requirements are still not compatible. Please conduct a full test to confirm before usage. It is not recommended to use the RIVER Max Plus to charge heavy-duty devices, such as air conditioners, coffee machines, clothes dryers, electric camp stoves, full- size re- refrigerators, microwaves, mowers, ovens, washing machines, etc.
