No. To understand look up the wattage consumption of your device. This battery holds approximately 256 watts. So take 256w then divide it by the value it uses per hour of your bipap (B) then multiply by 60 to get the amount of minutes it will last. 256 / (B) = X*60

To last several nights use we can do some fuzzy math... let's assume 8 hours per night. To last 2 nights it needs to go 16 hours. 256/16= 16 so your device would have to use no more than 16 watts / hour to last that long. That's like a bright LED bulb. BiPAPs are sophisticated positive pressure devices that have several moving parts. 😮 💨

256Wh LiFePO4 Power Station.
300W/600W X-Boost AC Output. 300W... 600W in boost mode.
360W AC Input for Charging in 60 Minutes.
110W Solar Input Fast Charging.

This is not a 600W power station, it can boost to 600W.

Your volts will drop keeping the amps to run a hair dryer when in boost mode. While the Bluetti EB3A IS a 600W power station, boost to 1200W.

That is what keeps me from NOT being interested in this River 2.

256Wh - @ 15% (for the inverter to work) is your true time of battery you have.

So if you plug in somethig using 217.4 watts, it will last for 1 hr.
Basically around the same of the Bluetti EB3A.

BUT the Bluetti EB3A you can plug in something 600W without turning on boost mode... whereas the River 2 you have to turn on boost mode after 300W.

Boost mode tricks the device to run something by lowering volts out to keep amps. So your hairdryer will run on the River 2, but at a slow fan speed. The EB3A will start to do that AFTER 600W..

This allows you more room to use different devices in the EB3A before this trickery of boost mode (shall we call it) to start to kick in and lower volts.

So lower volts at 300 on river 2
or lower volts at 600 on eb3a.


Is it worth it vs the EB3A?

The EB3A also has 100 USBC vs 60 on the River 2.

EB3A comes with solar charge cables.
EB3A has wireless cellphone charging on top.

And you can use codes for the EB3A . ONE is JasonPV350 for $40 off. (that is a secrete). so $199.
I got mine at $209 - $40. So $169. No brainer. So right now EB3A for $199 to me is a better deal then the River 2.

Now, do you like bluetti or EcoFlow, up to you what you want.
Sorry, just giving you a comparison. This is why slickdeals is so great is to say, hey , use this credit card and get even more of a deal! Well, just use that code on en EB3A and now you got something to think about.

"With an output of up to 600W, run 6 essential appliances simultaneously without worrying about overloading. "

It's sad that false advertising like this is allowed. It's just not true unless the meaning of "essential appliances" means totally different things in their universe.

Just the space heater alone will likely overload it.

My only issue with the eb3a is a big issue. I tested it's capacity and it was less than half of it's rating. Other than that I loved it. But, to be fair, so were the previous 3 brands I tested. Bluetti is willing to send a replacement, so hopefully it was a fluke.

No solar charge cable and max input from solar is 110w. Similarly priced Bluetti includes the solar cable and can handle 200 watts input. Bluetti is a better spec and deal in my opinion.

Too bad. I would have bought one of those too. Hopefully, he'll provide a working code.
