The EcoFlow River 2 still has $30 coupon and another 8% off with code on its page. The code could be YMMV. Comes out to $189 for me and it's a little better than the Anker. Both use LifePO4 batteries and have 5 year warranty. Ecoflow charges faster in every way, from what I read from other reviews.

For the eBay one for $169, EcoFlow is still giving you the 5-year warranty as well. It's in the product description as "Nearly New, 5 year Warranty." Plus the eBay 2 year "refurbished" warranty, even though it's directly shipped by EcoFlow, since they are the seller.

It was YMMV. I just checked and the changed it to give only 5% off when you add another product of their's in the cart.
They do have their EF ECOFLOW 2PCS 100W 12V Solar Panels, High Efficiency Monocrystalline PV Modules, IP68 Waterproofing, Ideal for RV& Marine Rooftop, Farm Battery, Power Kits & Ecosystem for $179 as a Lightning Deal.

ECO Mode: 237 W Lamp on
Energy Saving: 0.2 W

The Epson projector has a sticker that says..
100-240V~ 50/60HZ 3.2-1.4A

You're a rock star! Ordered myself a Referb from eBay as well. $153 shipped with the $26 coupon. I've been eyeballing this on Amazon for a month! Love me a deal!!!!! 🔥 one of my fav KSP is how fast the River 2 charges and it seems like one of the best models to have. Will make charging my drone batteries in the field easy!

Anyone know if any of these do more than 10A our of the DC outputs? Want to use one for a kayak trolling motor. This one seems almost ideal other than that with the flashlight, battery level indicator, etc. Little small on the Ah though too.

Curious if anyone has used these as an uninterruptable power supply replacement ? Quite a bit more capacity than an APC-Backup at the same price which uses lead acid batteries...

Honestly I think it's always the timing on the handoff from AC -> DC power for these issues when using them as a "UPS".

I have a bluetti Eb3a and it works perfectly fine to run my PC or network gear in a power outage. Where it struggles vs a UPS is the actual handoff, it's slower than a traditional UPS.

That said, it's only an issue when the grid goes out and the device kicks in. There's also the fact that running this as a UPS constantly *may* waste power 24/7 depending on the unit. My EB3a doesn't have this issue, but certain power stations with a "UPS" feature could be 80% efficient, meaning you'd be spending $$ everyday just to run it.

Don't buy this as a 24/7 UPS, but use it to run your network gear when/if you go down and you are set.
