Power Stations

An easy way to remember it is: TRAIL travels lightest, RIVER does a bit of everything, and DELTA takes care of the bigger jobs.

The TRAIL DC series is ultra-compact and designed especially for outdoor use and DC/USB devices. The RIVER series offers more capacity and AC power, while the DELTA series is designed for greater energy needs and more demanding electrical appliances.

Depending on the model, a power station can be used for everything from phones, tablets, cameras and laptops to refrigerators, TVs, power tools and other 230 V electrical appliances.

The key factor is the device's power requirement. If an appliance requires more power than the power station's continuous output, it may not be possible to use it with that particular model. Always check both the power requirement of the device and the technical specifications of the power station you choose.

Runtime depends on the capacity of the power station and the power consumption of the devices connected to it. The same power station may keep a small USB device running for a long time, while a high-powered household appliance will drain the battery considerably faster.

A rough estimate of runtime can be calculated by dividing the power station's capacity (Wh) by the power consumption of the device (W). Actual runtime is usually somewhat shorter than the theoretical figure due to factors such as energy conversion losses, temperature and other operating conditions.

Yes. Many portable power stations can be charged using a compatible solar panel. Combining a power station with a solar panel is particularly useful at cabins, in camper vans, when camping and in other locations where mains electricity is not continuously available.

Solar charging speed is affected by factors such as the power of the solar panels, the maximum solar input supported by the power station, weather conditions, the season and the positioning of the panels.

Charging options depend on the model. The most common method is to charge the battery from a mains power outlet, but portable power stations are also commonly charged using solar panels or directly from a vehicle.

Yes. A portable power station is a convenient way to prepare for power outages, as it can keep devices such as phones, lighting, networking equipment and computers running – and, depending on the power station's output, other household appliances as well.

For backup power during outages, choose a model with sufficient capacity and output power based on which devices you want to keep running and for how long. Many EcoFlow models also feature UPS- or EPS-type backup power functions, allowing the power station to automatically switch to battery power if the mains electricity supply fails.

Some portable power stations can be expanded with a compatible extra battery. This makes it possible to extend runtime without replacing the entire power station with a larger model.

An extra battery is particularly useful at a cabin, in a camper van or when preparing for power outages, where power may be needed for longer periods. Extra battery compatibility varies by model, so always check which extra battery is compatible with your chosen power station before purchasing.
