EcoFlow Tech, the revolutionary battery startup changing the mobile power industry, today announced the launch of a first-of-its-kind mobile power station, RIVER. With an array of ports and 500-watt total output, RIVER can charge up to 11 devices simultaneously or serve as a smart power source for a multitude of needs, from camping and filmmaking to emergency management and construction. RIVER is unlike any other battery product on the market, with a shelf life of up to two years with no charging required. RIVER is currently available on Indiegogo for the early bird pricing of $499.
“Power controls nearly every aspect of our lives and too often we find ourselves bound by an electrical leash,” said Eli Morgan Harris, CEO of EcoFlow Tech. “RIVER allows users to live their lives without attachments and fear of “powering down” in any condition or environment. With the most-comprehensive choice of ports and one of the highest capacities, RIVER is leading the new generation of smart, clean mobile power.”
RIVER was designed by several of the world’s leading battery engineers and incorporates patented and patent-pending technology that provides unparalleled safety and convenience. As the first truly mobile power station to offer a real-time, minute-level power display, RIVER offers consumers the confidence and flexibility they need when charging their devices at home or on the go. Whether you are charging an electric guitar and iPhone, or taking it along with you to this year’s Coachella, RIVER ergonomic design allows for ease of use and mobility.
RIVER can be recharged three different ways when empty. Users can plug into a wall socket and have a full charge within 6 hours; connect to a car lighter for a full charge in nine hours; or choose an optional solar-panel re-charging solution. The solar option can provide a full charge in 10-15 hours, with zero carbon footprint thanks to EcoFlow Tech’s founders commitment to clean energy.
Built to last: RIVER incorporates “battery armor” to ensure full structural integrity of the power system at all times, as well as a patented aluminum-alloy shell designed to protect the internal cells impact.
From the mountain to the desert: RIVER can operate in environment between -4 degrees Fahrenheit and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Its built-in thermal management also prevents surges and overheating and to maintain the battery’s long lifecycle.
Small but powerful: Comparable in size to a small toolbox, RIVER has an astonishing 412Wh capacity that allows users to:
Keep a light on for over 100 hours
Run a campsite refrigerator for up to 10 hours
Power a concert amplifier for 20 hours
Charge a power drill 15 times, an action camera more than 80 times, and a cell phone over 30 times
Pre-order customers in select cities (including New York City, San Francisco and Los Angeles) will have the option to have their RIVER unit delivered via Enjoy for free. Customers who opt-into Enjoy will be hand-delivered their product by an expert who will spend up to 30 minutes educating them on and setting up RIVER.
“We are thrilled to partner with EcoFlow Tech to offer our premium delivery services for their flagship product, RIVER,” said Ron Johnson, CEO of Enjoy. “As our lives continue to become more dependent on connectivity and renewable resources, RIVER’s ability to provide viable and affordable power solutions is unprecedented and poised to make remarkable experiences possible.”
Two of China’s leading supply chain and manufacturing companies have invested over $10 million USD in capital to-date allowing for faster research and development on behalf of EcoFlow Tech and RIVER.
