EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro Portable Power Station Guide

(Mobile Battery For Powering Network Components)

The EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro is the primary power source for the remote end of the WiFi Expansion Kit. It allows you to operate PtP radios, switches, and APs anywhere, even in areas with no available power.

This is essential for:

• Testing remote PtP endpoints

• Field demonstrations and outreach

• Temporary outdoor WiFi deployment

• Disaster-response scenarios

Key Specs

• Capacity: 768 Wh

• AC Output: 800W (1600W surge)

• DC Ports: USB-A, USB-C, DC/carport

• Recharge Methods: AC wall, car, solar (not included), or USB-C

• Display: Real-time wattage, remaining runtime, battery %, and charging indicators

Setup Instructions

1. Turning the Power Station On

1. Press the Power Button on the front panel.

2. The screen will illuminate, showing the battery level and output status.

2. Powering Network Equipment

The EcoFlow is included to power the remote end of the PtP connection and power all of the following simultaneously:

• The "receiving" NanoBeam radio

• A USW-Flex PoE switch

• All 4 UniFi APs (via the switch)

Typical Connection

EcoFlow Plug 1 → PoE++ Adapter → Flex Switch → Mesh APs

EcoFlow Plug 2 → PoE Adapter → NanoBeam

To power the Flex Switch and NanoBeam:

1. Plug the larger UniFi PoE++ 60W adapter into the first EcoFlow AC outlet.

2. Connect the larger, PoE++ injector to the Flex Switch power input.

3. Plug NanoBeams network output and all APs into the Flex Switch using Cat6. 100ft Cat 6 for the APs.

4. Plug the smaller UniFi PoE adapter into the second EcoFlow AC outlet.

5. Connect the smaller PoE injector to port 1 of the NanoBeam.

Expected Runtime

Runtime varies depending on load:

• NanoBeam + Flex Switch + 1–2 Mesh APs: 4–8 hours

• Max Load (all devices): ~3–5 hours

Actual usage depends on device power draw.

3. Recharging the EcoFlow

AC Recharging

• Plug into any wall outlet using the included AC cable

• Full recharge in 70 minutes (fast charge mode)

Car Charging

• Use a 12V car port

• Full recharge in 6–8 hours

Solar Charging (Optional)

• Supports 220W solar input (panel not included)

4. Important Safety Notes

• Keep the RIVER 2 Pro dry and shaded — do not operate in rain.

• Do not place heavy equipment on top of the power station.

• Do not block airflow on the sides.

• Do not use extension cords longer than 50 ft between the EcoFlow and PoE injectors.

• If the unit overheats, it will shut down automatically—move it to a cooler location.

5. Troubleshooting

Device will not power on

• Press and hold the main power button for 1 second

• Check that the battery is above 5%

• Recharge if necessary

No AC output

• Ensure the AC Output button is pressed (it must be lit)

Runtime is shorter than expected

• Turn off unused APs or radios

• Ensure no USB devices or unneeded AC loads are connected

• Check battery health on display
