Solar Panel Connection

How to recharge the RIVER Pro using solar panels?
If you need to know more about the connection of solar panel, please refer to the Solar Panel User Guide. Here we focus on demonstrate how to connect RIVER Pro to 1 set of solar panel or connect RIVER Pro to 2 sets of solar panels in parallel. The RIVER Pro can support a 10-25V DC input. When the input exceeds 25V, the RIVER Pro's overvoltage protection will be triggered. Overvoltage may damage the product. Users should follow these instructions. EcoFlow DO NOT provide free repair services for any product damage caused by connecting too many solar panels to the product or incorrect connection, even during the warranty period.

  1. Recommend Charging Method
    Users can connect a solar panel (do not connect more than one in series) as shown in Example 1. Connect the solar panel to the MC4 to XT60 Solar Charging Cable. Connect the XT60 connector to the RIVER Pro's XT60 input to charge the RIVER Pro. Users can connect up to 2 sets of solar panels in parallel to the MC4 port as shown in Example 2. If you want to connect 2 sets of solar panels, And connect the MC4 parallel connection cable to the MC4 to XT60 Solar Charging Cable. Then connect them with our solar MC4 parallel connection cable. Connect the XT60 connector to the RIVER Pro's XT60 input to charge the RIVER Pro. The parallel connection cable is an optional accessory that is sold separately.
    e.g.1
    Recommend Charging Method - Example 1
    e.g.2(Only supports parallel connection, NOT serial connection)
    Recommend Charging Method - Example 2
  2. RIVER Pro supports the use of third-party solar panels (DIY solution)
    Users can buy universal solar panels of MC4 connection standard on their own to power RIVER Pro, as long as the voltage and current (10-25V DC, 12A Max) comply with the specifications of RIVER Pro, the panels will be able to recharge RIVER Pro through the MC4 to XT60 conversion cable. However, EcoFlow do not provide free repair services for any damages to the product caused by the quality issue or improper operation of the third-party solar panels, even in the warranty period.

Entry-Level UPS

Entry-Level UPS User Guide

Entry-Level UPS User Guide
Users can connect the AC Charging Cable of RIVER Pro to an AC power source and connect a device to RIVER Pro and turn on the AC Power Button 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 Pro to 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 Pro can conduct the UPS function; the UPS function is not available when more than one RIVER Pro 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 Pro's 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 this mode:

  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 conn ecting more than one electrical appliance, the change of voltage may affect the usage of other electrical appliances. *

* You may use electrical appliance with heating elements and a rated power between 600W-1200W, such as hair dryers and electric kettles. But the X-Boost mode is not suitable for all electrical appliances.
Some appliances 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 Pro to charge heavy-duty devices, such as air conditioners, coffee machines, clothes dryer, electric camp stoves, full size refrigerators, microwaves, mowers, ovens, washing machines etc.
