Brief conclusions of the comparison portable power stations

When comparing the EcoFlow RIVER 3 Max Plus and EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus charging stations, it can be noted that both models have the same rated and peak power (600 W and 1200 W respectively) and support sine wave output. However, the RIVER 3 Max Plus stands out with a larger battery capacity (858 Wh compared to 286 Wh in the RIVER 3 Plus), allowing for longer device usage without recharging. Additionally, the RIVER 3 Max Plus supports the connection of an extra battery, enhancing its functionality. Both devices feature similar functions, such as the capability to charge with solar panels and a built-in power supply, but the RIVER 3 Plus is lighter (4.7 kg compared to 10.3 kg for the Max Plus), which makes it more portable. Users highlight the high reliability and convenience of both models, but for extended trips or use under heavy load conditions, the RIVER 3 Max Plus would be preferable.

Glossary

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.

Charging time (socket) ≈

Time to charge the portable power station from a fully discharged state to 100% charge when using the power adapter from a household outlet. This refers to the original battery and standard charger.

Charging time (solar panel) ≈

Time spent on a full charge when using the original panel in bright sunlight. In cloudy weather, the charging time of the device from the solar panel can be strikingly different downwards.

Charging time (cigarette lighter) ≈

The time required to fully (from zero to 100%) charge the battery, provided that power is supplied to the charging station from the car's cigarette lighter socket (12 V).
