I bought an EcoFlow River a bit over 2 years ago. Of course it died a few months after the warranty expired.
It's a simple battery pack with BMS and can be used as portable power if you need it. I live in Silicon Valley and we need it for the house because the technology center of the world can't get electricity to my house consistently. But I'm not bitter or anything.
Since this has become a door stop, I sent a note to EcoFlow to see what my options are. It's about a $200 unit and if I need to cover the shipping for repair, I'm in it another $100. So I'm not overly attached to it.
The size (physical and Wh) is OK, I can run my essentials for about 2 days on this. Essentials being LED light, charging phone/tablets and a fan or two. The network stuff has it's own back up and it will last about 8 hours if I prune it down.
Assuming that this unit is going in the trash, does anyone have suggestions?
