EcoFlow River 2 Pro Vs. EcoFlow River Pro
Are you excited to see how the new River 2 Pro is different from its predecessor?
The most important factor, as you know already, is that the new model has a LiFePO4 battery pack, unlike the former’s lithium battery.
When it comes to detailed specs, the River 2 Pro is a 768Wh battery with an 800W inverter, while its original model is a 720Wh lithium power station with a 600W inverter that can surge at 1200 watts.
So, in a nutshell, you get a compact battery pack with a slightly higher capacity and a bigger inverter, apart from the fact that it has a long-lasting and extremely safe LFP battery under the hood.
There are more cool upgrades in terms of charging speeds from both solar and AC sources, as the new River Pro 2 comes with 940W AC and 220W solar charging inputs, replacing its predecessor’s 660W AC and 200W solar charging inputs.
But on the flip side, the new River 2 Pro doesn’t have an option for expansion. Unlike its predecessor, you can’t max out its capacity with add-on battery packs.

EcoFlow River 2 Pro Vs. Bluetti EB70S
The River 2 Pro’s closest competitor in the Bluetti product portfolio is the EB70S.
The EB70S, as you may know, is a 716Wh LFP power station with an inverter of 800 watts. That is how it becomes a great buy for a person who is looking for an alternative to the River 2 Pro.
Though similar in battery capacity and output, the River 2 Pro has a clear edge over the Bluetti model with its faster charging speeds – both solar and AC sources.
The Bluetti has an AC input of 200 watts and a solar input of the same wattage, whereas the River 2 Pro outperforms it with 940W AC and 220W solar inputs.
Both the battery packs have four units of AC outlets, with the EcoFlow having a surge capacity of 1600 watts compared to the Bluetti’s 1400 watts.
The devices are also competitive in terms of other charging options, size, weight, and so on.
Finally, when it comes to the price, the River 2 Pro is priced $30 higher than the Bluetti’s without any discounts. As long as the new EcoFlow has just been released, you can surely find a cool deal.
