Assuming 100% efficiency, the 245 Wh capacity would indicate it could power a 245-watt device for 1 hour; it could power a 100-watt device for 2.45 hours; it could power a 24.5-watt device for 10 hours; or it could power a 490-watt device for 0.5 hours. You can use the wattage of your devices to estimate how long it may last on a fully-charged unit. I'd assume only about 80% of the estimated time, though.

Someone needs to make a power generator that sucks the fat out of you and convert those calories into kWhr.

I just bought it, along with the 45W solar panel. I also got a free bag, which is listed as normally $79. I'm not sure if it's a mistake to get the discount on both the generator and to get the free bag, but the total for River 3 generator, solar panel, and bag was $200, plus $18 tax. There is a link for the free bag next to the item (https://i.imgur.com/NzqZJR8.png), which takes you here:

Then you add the "benefit item" (the bag) from that page.

I'm sorta dense when it comes to these things. Can someone explain to me use cases for this?

Like, I read it can keep appliances on, but I ALSO "THINK" I read that there is a maximum wattage of 100. What does that mean? I can't power a fridge?

How long is the power supposed to last? Yeah, it says 245 Wh. I'm assuming watt hours, but I have no idea how to translate that into how long it will keep my desktop on. Can I plug this thing into my car port and have it start my car if the battery is dead? Can I plug my power strip into this thing and have it power my gaming even though the power is out? For how long? Btw, if my desktop, complete with 2 monitors, and the modem + router can keep going for 2 or more hours; slickdeals will have cost me another 170 bucks this year!

Would this make a good UPS for a modem and a server, or is the response time too slow?

They sped up the response time on these new ones expressly for working better as a UPS.

I'm getting this for running lights under a gazebo. Thanks for mentioning the deal with the solar panel. Is it enough for lights? Also, Do you have any ideas on how to hang the generator on the gazebo? I'm trying to provide some protection from rain, snow, etc. If I get the generator and put it under the gazebo, the rain will get into it. If I can find a way to hang it over the top corner of the gazebo, The whole thing will be protected. Thanks so much

Quote from Motor City :
Anyone know if these can run a cpap when camping?
It can! I regularly use my EcoFlow 512W 'generator' to power my CPAP while camping. The trick is to get a DC-to-DC inverter for your CPAP (I have an AirSense 11). With the DC-to-DC inverter I can get 2 solid nights of 6-8 hrs sleep each on my EcoFlow - you lose a lot of efficiently having the battery convert energy from DC to AC, and then your normal wall plug converts it back to DC; DC-to-DC inverter resolves all that.
Best part is, it charges crazy fast from a wall plug. Went on a week long sightseeing and camping trip in Colorado last year, would just bring the battery pack into a restaurant every once in awhile, plug up and eat lunch and it was fully charged.

Price per wattage is an ignorant measurement. You have to consider specs: weight, size, IPX rating, noise level, drop level, UPC ability, battery chemistry, ports, manufacturer reputation, warranty, free backpack, etc.

River 2 Pro has 2 dc barrel outlets (DC 5521) by the DC port, but not seeing it on the new product.
