Get Started

Power On/Off

Power On: Short press the main power button
Press the main power button again to turn off the display screen. If the power station is not used for 5 minutes, it will enter hibernation and the display screen will turn off.

Power Off: Long press the main power button for about 3 seconds

Tip:
When the power station is charging, it can't be turned off by long pressing the main power button unless the charging cable is unplugged first.

Power Your Appliances

Via USB Output Port

Connect your devices directly to the USB ports on the power station.

Via AC Output Socket

Press the AC output button once to turn on/off the AC output socket.

When using the AC output sockets, make sure that the sum power of all loaded appliances is less than the rated power of the sockets (Refer to X-Boost instructions for details about power limitations with X-Boost).

Tip:
AC Timeout Tip: The AC output port of the power station will automatically turn off if the port is idle for a certain period. When the power station is connected to intermittent loads like refrigerators or air conditioners, this feature may be triggered. To ensure continuous power supply for critical uses, such as storing medicines, vaccines, the perishables, or other valuable items in a refrigerator, set the power station's AC timeout interval to never in the EcoFlow app. Additionally, regularly check the power station's battery level.

Via DC Output Port (Cigarette Lighter)

Press the DC output button once to turn on/off the DC output port (cigarette lighter).

When powering up your appliance via the DC output port, please make sure that it can meet the appliance's starting current requirements. Otherwise, the appliance may not be able to start normally (subject to actual testing).

Charge Your Power Station

From a Wall Outlet

Connect the power station's AC input port to a wall outlet using the provided AC charging cable.

Maximum AC Input Power:
US/JP/BR: 320W
CN/EU/ZA/UK/AU/KR/CH: 305W

It's recommended that you use a power socket with a capacity of more than 10A and ensure that the working current of the socket is constantly greater than 10A.

For AC charging, use the AC charging cable included in the package and plug the cable directly into a wall outlet instead of an extension socket.

From Solar

Connect the power station's solar input port to solar panels using a solar charging cable.

The solar charging cable (solar to XT60i charging cable) and the solar panel are not included in the package.

When using an EcoFlow solar panel to charge the product, connect them according to the instructions in the user manual.

Before connecting the solar panel, ensure that the output voltage of the panel is less than 30V to avoid product damage.

From a Car Cigarette Lighter

Connect the car input port of the power station to your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket using the provided car charging cable.

To avoid failure to start the vehicle due to insufficient car battery, start the vehicle first before you begin car charging. In addition, make sure that the car charging cable is securely connected to the cigarette lighter socket.

X-Boost: Powering High-Wattage Appliances

The power station's AC output sockets support X-Boost. They can power devices rated at up to 600W (450W for the JP version) without incurring operation failure caused by overload protection.

How do I use this feature?

• X-Boost is enabled by default. Connect any high-wattage appliance to an AC output socket on the power station to use this feature.
• You can enable/disable X-Boost in the EcoFlow app.
• X-Boost is unavailable when the power station is in bypass mode*.

*Bypass mode: When the power station is connected to the grid power through its AC input port and to devices via its AC output sockets, the devices will receive AC power directly from the grid instead of from the power station.

What kind of devices does X-Boost support?

X-Boost is suitable for heating and motor-driven devices. It does not support devices with voltage protection (such as precise instruments). Conduct your own tests to check whether your devices support X-Boost.

Backup for Essential Devices

You can use the power station to back up power for essential household appliances. When a power outage occurs and appliances can no longer use power from the grid, the power station automatically transfers its battery power for use by connected appliances.

How do I use this feature?

1. Connect the power station to a wall outlet to access grid power.
2. Connect any appliances to the power station's AC output socket so the power station can provide them with power to operate during a power outage.
   

What is the transfer time?

• RIVER 3 / RIVER 3 (230)
  The power station supports emergency power supply (EPS) with a transfer time within 20ms.
• RIVER 3 (10 ms UPS)
  The power station supports uninterrupted power supply (UPS) with a transfer time within 10ms.

What devices can I back up power for?

Before using this feature, make sure the transfer time meets the needs of your device. As for RIVER 3 and RIVER 3 (230), do not connect them to any device that requires an uninterrupted power supply (such as desktops, NAS servers, data servers and workstations).
It's recommended that you power only one device (with maximum power <300W) at a time to avoid triggering overload protection.
