RIVER has built-in, intelligent, auto-sensing technology within its USB ports, TYPE-C ports, 12V DC ports and 12V carport. This means that when any of these ports sense that you have plugged in a device, our patented Battery Management System recognizes the most efficient charging voltage for each device and automatically adjusts the output voltage. All you have to do is plug in a device and RIVER does the rest. We call this carefree charging!

HOW TO CHARGE RIVER

How do I charge my RIVER?
RIVER has one smart DC input port that can automatically adapt to any power source from 10V-22V without an extra adapter. This input is located on the back right-hand side of RIVER. RIVER can be charged via wall charger, car charger, or solar charger. It takes approximately 6 hours to recharge RIVER by AC wall charger, however, in only 4 hours, RIVER will be 70% of the way there!
Can RIVER power my device while it’s charging?
Yes, RIVER has state-of-the-art flow-through charging, meaning it can output power while being charged.

FAQS

How do I care for RIVER?

RIVER is designed for a variety of uses so there is a good chance RIVER will need a little cleaning every now and then. Please use a dry, non-abrasive cloth. We like the cleaners that have been designed for mobile phones and computer screens if you need a little extra oomph. Do not give it a bath!

How do I store RIVER?

Please store your RIVER in a dry environment out of direct elements. For optimal battery health, store RIVER at room temperature fully charged. EcoFlow offers a water-resistant, dustproof case for maximum protection.

We suggest that you keep your RIVER connected to a power source when not in use, like a solar panel or a wall plug, so it keeps its battery healthy and topped off. This prolongs battery life and will ensure your RIVER is ready to recharge your gear at all times. If that is not possible, RIVER will hold its charge with a very little drop-off for over a year.

How do I use RIVER safely?

RIVER has a tremendous operating temperature range, but using RIVER below -4 degrees Fahrenheit or over 140 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 degrees Centigrade and 60 degrees Centigrade) can push It beyond its safe and effective limits.
Do not submerge your RIVER. It is not waterproof and this will void your warranty. If you need to ensure she is water-resistant and dustproof, please utilize the RIVER Case.
Don’t throw RIVER around. Treat RIVER like the equipment you are plugging Into it, with care.
