EcoFlow is a portable power station with a lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery (from version 2 and above) that has a long lifespan. However, to ensure the battery lasts as long as possible, it is important to use it correctly and discharge it periodically. Let's consider a few usage options.
If used constantly
If the station is used daily to power devices, there is no need to discharge it specifically – natural usage provides the necessary charge and discharge cycles. However, it is recommended not to keep the charge constantly at 100%, but to use the battery in the range of 20–80% to reduce wear.
If the station is turned off
If the EcoFlow River 2 is stored without use, it should be discharged and charged approximately once every 3 months to avoid battery degradation. The optimal charge level for storage is 50–80%.
Here is a quote from the official documentation:
For long-term storage, discharge the product down to 30% and then charge it up to 60%. Continue to follow this procedure every 3 months
If the station is plugged into an outlet and works as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
When the device is used in UPS mode, the battery remains constantly charged. In this case, it is advisable to disconnect the station from the network and discharge it to 20–30% at least once every 1–2 months, and then recharge it. This will help maintain the battery capacity and avoid "stagnation" of the cells.
In conditions of constant outages, charging stations operate continuously and do not require additional actions. But if the station is idle, it is better to follow the advice and extend its lifespan.
