Brief conclusions of the comparison portable power stations

When comparing the EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro and BLUETTI PowerOak EB55 charging stations, several key points can be highlighted. The EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro has a higher rated power of 800W and a peak power of 1600W, allowing for the connection of more demanding devices. It also has more outputs, including 3 sockets and 3 USB-A ports, making it more versatile for connecting various gadgets. The network charging time is only 70 minutes, significantly faster than the BLUETTI, where this process takes about 210 minutes. However, the BLUETTI PowerOak EB55 offers wireless charging and has a built-in flashlight, which can be useful in certain situations. According to user reviews, the EcoFlow stands out for its quick charging and compact size, while the BLUETTI is praised for its numerous outputs and good performance for charging laptops but is noted for having a less informative screen and noise during charging. Overall, the EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro is suitable for more intensive use, whereas the BLUETTI PowerOak EB55 might be a good choice for less demanding tasks.

Price comparison

Glossary

Rated power

Power that a device can consistently produce for an indefinitely long time without any unpleasant consequences. For normal operation of the charging station, the rated power must be at least 15 - 20% higher than the total power of all devices simultaneously connected to it.

Peak power

Some electrical appliances (in particular, units with electric motors - refrigerators, air conditioners, etc.) consume significantly more energy at startup than after reaching the operating mode. For such a load, the peak power of the charging station must be taken into account - its indicator must be higher than the starting power of the load.

UPS function

Charging stations with UPS function switch consumers to backup power from their own battery, acting as an uninterruptible power supply. In comparison with full-fledged UPSs, switching does not occur instantly, but with a certain delay (about 10-30 ms). To use this function correctly, you must first study the instructions for the charging station, which often describes the correct procedure for connecting the intended consumer devices.

Sockets (230 V)

Total number of outlets with output voltage. This is, in fact, the number of devices that can be simultaneously connected to the charging station without the use of splitters, extension cords and carriers. Accordingly, weaker charging stations have one or two sockets in their submission. Powerful charging stations already have three or more sockets “on board”.

USB A

Full-size USB A connectors are popular in computer technology, they are standardly used in adapter chargers for 230 V household networks and 12 V auto sockets. In charging stations, such outlets are widely used for charging gadgets.

- The total number of such ports can be very diverse ( 1 USB, 2 connectors, 3 ports and even 4), since it allows you to connect for charging, and in some cases for power, various low-power devices - smartphones, tablets, power banks, lamps, etc. .

- The strength of the power. The maximum power output through the USB A connector to the device being charged. Note that different ports of the charging station can output different power (for example, 1.5 A and 2.1 A). In this case, the highest power strength is usually indicated.

— Power. The maximum output power in watts (W) that the charging station is capable of delivering through the USB A connector to one charging device.

Wireless charger

In wireless charging mode, energy is transferred to the gadget being charged through an inductive surface, which is usually built into the upper plane of the charging station case. There can be one slot for wireless charging or several of them are provided. The range of this technology does not exceed a few centimeters. However, this method of charging eliminates the fuss with wires and reduces wear on the connectors. One of the key disadvantages of this format is considered to be low power and, accordingly, slow charging speed.

DC output

The presence of a DC connector (or several such outputs) in the device to power external gadgets with direct current. The standard DC jack is round and has a pin in the center. However, its dimensions may differ in depth and diameter. The voltage output to the DC output may be different. The most popular options are 18 - 20 V for powering laptops, 12 V for various specialized devices and automotive electrical accessories.

Via USB-C

The ability to replenish energy reserves in the battery cells of the charging station via the USB type C connector. This port itself is small in size and has a convenient double-sided design, thanks to which the plug can be inserted in either direction. However, in charging stations it does not always work as an input interface.

Battery capacity

Nominal battery capacity, in fact - the amount of energy that is supposed to be stored. The larger it is, the longer the battery life of the charging station will be, all other things being equal. On the other hand, this parameter also affects the dimensions, weight and price of the battery, despite the fact that an energy-intensive battery is not always required. By the indicator of capacity in watt-hours, you can compare batteries with each other.
