“I'm actually pretty Blown Away by these numbers because both the river 2 and River 2 max they're smaller siblings here scored quite poorly on both of these tests with results all in a low 70th percentile we're seeing a 10 to 15 Point increase in the Pro”Open at 6:08
“I can tell you right now by looking at these numbers there is no simultaneous charging on this product so you can charge from solar or you can charge from USB or you can charge from AC wall power but you cannot combine them at all”Open at 12:59
“you can legitimately use this as a low latency uninterruptible power supply to keep a computer online regardless of the stability of the grid power coming in”Open at 21:08
“so that makes the river 2 Pro on the not recommended list if you're going to use it with any kind of amplifier system”Open at 20:43
“for gripes there's really not a lot to gripe about feature wise except the lack of USB Quick Charge ports and no wireless charging pad they also wasted no expense on a fancy SOS light so no flagging down our little buddies upstairs”Open at 21:29
Runtime predictions for your loads
Based on 768 Wh capacity · 95% LiFePO4 DoD · 90% AC inverter efficiency. Solar column assumes ~25% of rated input as sustained sun average. Phase-1 uses constant-load math; time-resolved multi-day SOC simulation is the Phase-2 north star.
| Load profile | Continuous draw | Runtime estimate |
|---|---|---|
| CPAP only (overnight) | 60W | 10.9 hr |
| Fridge only (cycle-averaged) | 70W | 9.4 hr |
| Wifi router + LED lights | 55W | 11.9 hr |
| Your full continuous load (215W) | 215W | 3.1 hr |
| Microwave + base load (peak) | 1300W | 30 min |
| Window AC 8,000 BTU (avg) | 700W | 56 min |
