Up to 600W Output, Punches Above Its Size
The RIVER 3 Plus delivers 600W rated AC output and 1200W surge, with X-Boost supporting compatible devices up to 1200W. That means it can handle small appliances, low-power coffee makers, monitors, gaming setups, and most camping gear despite its compact 4.7kg footprint. The pure sine wave inverter delivers stable AC power suitable for sensitive electronics. Total connected load must always remain within the rated output of the unit.
Under 10ms Pro-Grade Auto-Switch UPS
When grid power drops, the RIVER 3 Plus can act as a standby UPS with under 10ms transfer time for compatible plug-in devices, keeping desktop computers, gaming setups, routers, modems, and other sensitive equipment running without interruption. It is well-suited to home offices, small workstations, and anyone who works from home during NZ's frequent rural power outages.
Comprehensive UPS Solution
Three layers of UPS protection across hardware, app, and connectivity for true peace of mind.
Safeguard for Work and Play
Keeps PCs, gaming setups, NAS, and home office gear running through outages.
Smart Outage Alert
Get app notifications when grid power drops so you can take action immediately.
UPS-Friendly Design
USB-B communication port for direct connection to a NAS or PC for safe shutdown.
RIVER 3 Plus vs Traditional UPS
Up to 2x Light and Network Runtime
Powered by EcoFlow's groundbreaking X-GaNPower technology, the RIVER 3 Plus uses gallium nitride efficiency to deliver up to twice the operating time on light-wattage appliances compared to comparable power stations. That means longer-running camping lights, longer-running router and modem backup during outages, and more time on portable fans, small fridges, and travel electronics.
Extremely Compact and Lightweight
At 4.7kg and 234 x 232 x 146mm, the RIVER 3 Plus easily fits in a closet, under a desk, in the boot of a car, in a campervan cubby, or in a gear bag for short trips where the extra weight is acceptable. With X-GaNPower minimising heat loss and reducing the cooling space required, EcoFlow has packed serious capability into a body around the size of a small toaster.
Expandable up to 858Wh with Wire-Free Connection
Stack a Smart Extra Battery directly onto the RIVER 3 Plus for more capacity without any cables. The EB300 (286Wh) doubles total capacity to 572Wh, while the EB600 (572Wh) takes you up to a full 858Wh combined. Adjust your capacity for whatever you need, whether that's a weekend off-grid, a long power outage, or daily home backup.
Hassle-Free Connection
Pogo Pin tech connects the extra battery wirelessly. No cables or screws, just clip on and go.
Extra USB-C Port and Faster Charging
Adding the extra battery gives you a 140W USB-C input/output and the freedom to use the extra battery on its own.
4 Charging Options, Safely Charge 0 to 100% in 1 Hour
Recharge fast at home, on the road, or off-grid.
AC Charging
360W AC input. 0 to 100% in approx. 1 hour using X-Stream from a NZ wall outlet.
