Overview
The EcoFlow RIVER 3 Max combines the RIVER 3 Plus Portable Power Station with the EB300 Smart Extra Battery for a total 572Wh of capacity. That's double the energy of the standalone RIVER 3 Plus, enough to back up essentials such as a router, modem, small fridge, or home office gear during an outage, depending on the load and runtime required.
Everything else stays the same as the RIVER 3 Plus: 600W AC output (1200W X-Boost surge), under 10ms pro-grade UPS for compatible loads, app control, X-GaNPower efficiency, and the same compact stacked footprint. The EB300 connects to the RIVER 3 Plus via EcoFlow's wire-free Pogo Pin connection with no separate cables or screws, and adds an extra 140W USB-C port. The EB300 can also be used on its own via its built-in USB-C port, but it does not provide AC output by itself.

2x The Energy. Same Compact Footprint.
572Wh of total capacity in an integrated stacked setup you can still carry with one hand. Double the standalone RIVER 3 Plus capacity, enough to run a typical efficient 12V camping fridge for around 2 days under suitable conditions (assuming roughly 250Wh per day), keep a home router and modem running through an extended outage, or power a home office workstation through a working day. Twice the energy with no extra cables to connect or manage.

Same Trusted RIVER 3 Plus Core
The RIVER 3 Max uses the same RIVER 3 Plus core unit you already trust, just paired with the EB300 from the factory. That means the same 600W rated AC output (1200W X-Boost), the same under 10ms pro-grade UPS for compatible loads, the same X-GaNPower efficiency for up to 2x runtime on light-wattage appliances, the same LiFePO4 battery chemistry with 3000 cycles to 80%, and the same EcoFlow app control over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. For the full unit details, see the RIVER 3 Plus listing.
RIVER 3 Plus vs Traditional UPS
The same comparison applies to the RIVER 3 Max, with more runtime than the standalone unit, thanks to the EB300.

Wire-Free Connection & Standalone USB-C Use
The EB300 connects to the RIVER 3 Plus using EcoFlow's wire-free Pogo Pin connection. No external cables, no screws, just stack and clip. The EB300 also works on its own as a 286Wh USB-C battery thanks to its built-in 140W USB-C port, so you can take it on lighter trips and leave the RIVER 3 Plus at home. The EB300 does not provide AC output by itself, only USB-C.
Hassle-Free Connection
Pogo Pin tech connects the EB300 directly to the RIVER 3 Plus. No external cables or screws, just clip on and go.
Extra USB-C Port & Standalone Use
140W USB-C input and output on the EB300. Use it standalone via USB-C for phones, tablets, laptops, and other compatible USB-C devices.
Expandable Capacity Configurations
The RIVER 3 Plus supports one extra battery. The EB300 (286Wh) gives you a total combined capacity of 572Wh in this RIVER 3 Max configuration. If you need more capacity and don't mind the extra weight, the EB600 (572Wh) is the larger alternative, taking total capacity up to 858Wh in the RIVER 3 Max Plus configuration.

Faster AC Charging When Stacked
With the EB300 attached, the RIVER 3 Max accepts up to 650W of AC input, faster than the standalone RIVER 3 Plus at 360W. Full top-up takes around 1 hour from a NZ wall outlet, so you can have the full 572Wh ready to go between morning coffee and heading out for the day.
Built to the Same Quality Standard
Both the RIVER 3 Plus and the EB300 use LiFePO4 battery chemistry with 3000 cycles to 80% capacity, around 10 years of everyday use before noticeable degradation. The internal battery packs are rated IP54 against splashes and dust, and EcoFlow's X-Guard protection covers over 40 safety measures across current, voltage, temperature, and circuit risks. The full power station should still be protected from rain, water exposure, and immersion.
What's in the Box

Pairs Well With
Set up the RIVER 3 Max for off-grid use with a compatible EcoFlow solar panel. The EcoFlow 220W Lightweight Portable Solar Panel matches the unit's full 220W solar input for the fastest off-grid top-up, while the EcoFlow 110W Lightweight Portable Solar Panel is a lighter alternative for shorter trips or smaller setups. If you need more capacity later, the EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus EB600 Extra Battery with 572Wh is available separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the RIVER 3 Plus and the RIVER 3 Max?
The RIVER 3 Max is the RIVER 3 Plus with the EB300 Smart Extra Battery included. You get 572Wh of total capacity instead of 286Wh, double the energy storage, plus an extra 140W USB-C port on the EB300. All other specs (600W AC output, 1200W X-Boost, under 10ms UPS, app control) are identical to the standalone RIVER 3 Plus.
How long can the RIVER 3 Max run my appliances?
With 572Wh of capacity, the RIVER 3 Max can run a typical efficient 12V camping fridge for around 2 days (assuming roughly 250Wh per day), a home router and modem for an extended period depending on their power draw (typically 10 to 50W per hour combined), a 100W laptop for around 5 hours, or a 600W coffee maker for a short burst. Actual runtime depends on the device and total connected load.
Can I remove the EB300 and use the RIVER 3 Plus on its own?
Yes. Press the unlock button on the EB300 to separate the units. The RIVER 3 Plus then works exactly as it does standalone at 286Wh, and the EB300 can be used independently as a 286Wh USB-C battery via its built-in 140W USB-C port.
Can the EB300 power AC devices by itself?
No. The EB300 can be used separately through its built-in 140W USB-C port for phones, tablets, laptops, and other compatible USB-C devices, but it does not provide AC output by itself. For AC output, the EB300 needs to be connected to the RIVER 3 Plus.
How fast does the RIVER 3 Max recharge?
With the EB300 attached, the unit accepts up to 650W of AC input, taking approximately 1 hour to charge fully from a standard NZ 230V wall outlet. Solar charging at the full 220W input takes longer than the standalone RIVER 3 Plus due to the larger combined capacity. Car charging is supported, but slower than AC.
What warranty does the EcoFlow RIVER 3 Max have in NZ?
The RIVER 3 Max includes a 5-year warranty in New Zealand, covering both the RIVER 3 Plus unit and the EB300 Smart Extra Battery.
