Kudos for putting refurb in the title. Normally I skip refurbs but this is a nice price, I'd think about it if I didn't already have one.

Thats the 3 plus. Has a port on the bottom that the separate ecoflow extendable battery clicks into.

Looked into it. Surprised the USB-C is not input as well. Which I know some don't like, but I wish they had one in/out and one out.

So in some ways a big step up from the old deals in this price range, and in some ways the ancient deals we all leaped on (don't say you didn't) with 60W USB-C in/out are still better.

It appears DC Car Port is 12V 10 Amp, which I can't totally confirm but other Ecorivers in this class top out there. So using a car adapter to get a second USB-C is basically limited to 100W too.

Bottom line, I can see why it's this price.

If I needed a UPS, I'd buy as a bridge until we get some affordable LFPs with hold charging and multiple USB-C.

[ICYMI, latest studies show LFPs do have seriously longer longevity when held at/below 80% capacity, and actually, far lower].

For me though, my four year old LFP is still staying the course.

I have one for $199 plus tax, with a 30w solar panel and backpack. You can use it to charge your phone, laptop, decor lighting, car vacuum, etc. Don't expect too much out of this power station. For example, you can't run a heater or heat gun.

Edit: The max solar input is 100W, so a big solar panel is no. There's no "belt clip," but there's a built-in handle. You need to consider your usage of a 300w power station before purchase.

Have they ever listed refurbished Ecoflow River 3 Plus units on ebay? I only see them list the refurbished River 3 units like the one in this thread. Looking for a River 3 Plus instead as it has the <10ms auto-switching UPS.

Any idea if the DC car port is regulated 12V DC (as opposed to something that drops voltage as battery discharges)?

Looking for a 12V DC UPS to power few things where I want regulated 12V output.

20ms vs 10ms, one 60hz wave is 17ms. Have you found any reports of funkiness from the non plus? All posts say "its fine, save your $80 unless you need the 600 watts". Anything with a switch mode power supply should be fine. If you ever saw the power blink at your house and everything stays on, that was 100-200ms.

A trick is get a good power strip after the eco. That will add several ms to the pool.

i own ecoflow products from the River and Delta Series. The River series do not accommodate an extra battery. The Delta series does accomodate extra batteries. The Delta Max and Delta Pro actually accommodate up to 2 extra batteries. This is the smallest in the River series. Check the Ebay store for good deals on refurbished in both series. All are good products - i use them daily.

They break often, so they have a lot of refurbs to sell

Tells you a lot about product quality
